iterate through elements, get the urls, put urls in a list. selenium java

while (i < 165) {
    i = i + 1;
    ArrayList url[];
    url.add(driver.findElement(String.valueOf(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"villages\"]/tbody/tr[" + i + "]/td[3]/a")).getAttribute("href")));
}

I get the following error.

The method getAttribute(String) is undefined for the type String.

I'm not really sure what's going on. Arraylist should be like a array of strings? and getAttribute(String) is a string... So I have no idea why this is not compatible. Any ideas?

if I try making a variable to carry the value before I add it to the arraylist, i get this error. Cannot invoke add(String) on the array type ArrayList[]

Your code should be like this to add all URL's in a list :

while (i < 165) {
    i = i + 1;
    ArrayList<String> url = new ArrayList<String>();
    url.add(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='villages']/tbody/tr[" + i + "]/td[3]/a")).getAttribute("href"));
}

static String valueOf(arg)

Returns the string representation of the given argument.

and String class API dont have method getAttribute as such
