ArrayList<Object> allnewslist=new ArrayList<>();.

Ideally both NewsItem and LatestNewsInfo should inherit common interface, and then you can have the list of this interface.

interface News{}  //can be an abstract class

class NewsItem implements News{
}

class LatestNewsInfo implements News{
}

//edit - define variables to interface instead of actual implementation object 
List<News> allnewslist=new ArrayList<>();
