Array, with if statement

So i am busy with a program where i have this array called names and in the array i have the following data:

public static String [] name = {"Products", "Customers","Calculators","Logout"};
public static String [] subName = {"140 wide Plain", "140 wide Pattern", "280 wide Running width", "280 wide plain drops","280 wide pattern drops"};

now the following code i am trying to implement an if statement:

  private List<TitleMenu> getList() {
      List<TitleMenu> list = new ArrayList<>();
      for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
          List<SubTitle> subTitles = new ArrayList<>();

          if (names.equals("Calculators")){
          for (int j = 0; j < subNames.length; j++) {
              SubTitle subTitle = new SubTitle(subNames[j]);
              subTitles.add(subTitle);
          }}
          TitleMenu model = new TitleMenu(names[i], subTitles, null);
          list.add(model);
      }
      return list;
  }

so i only want the second portion of my code to implement if the if statement is correct but i cant seem to get the if statement correct. I am coding in android studio so i dont know how my if statement needs to be

You need to reference the indices of the array. Each index in an array is represented by a number that starts at base zero. This is an important and fundamental concept across many programming languages.

It also looks like your array's name is not names and is name.

So you could check to see if the name is "Calculators" by doing something like this: 

if (name[i].equals("Calculators")) { ... }
