How to store WebElements in an array

I just wanted to know how to store the following webElements in an array.

 WebElement NameLbl = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h3[contains(text(),'Name')]"));
    		WebElement MobLbl = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h3[contains(text(),'Mobile')]"));
    		WebElement LookingLbl = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h3[contains(text(),'Looking for ')]"));
    		WebElement GenderLbl = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h3[contains(text(),'Gender')]"));
    		WebElement MandatoryList = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'*')]"));

I am trying to store this using the below line but it is giving an error.

List<WebElement> ExpList=new ArrayList<WebElement>() {NameLbl,MobLbl,LookingLbl,GenderLbl};

You can't instantiate lists like that.

What you were probably going for was this:

List<WebElement> ExpList = List.of(NameLbl, MobLbl, LookingLbl, GenderLbl);

Which converts the arguments you've passed into the correct type of list.

I wound suggest another approach..

You can use the approach suggested by Robo Mop, however this won't let you to modify that list later. Assume you have the code:

List<Object> objectList = Arrays.asList(new Object(), new Object());
objectList.add(new Object());
System.out.println(objectList);

The code above would throw the exception

>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at java.base/java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:153)
at java.base/java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:111)

Instead I would suggest to use this appraoch:

List<Object> objectList = Stream.of(new Object(), new Object()).collect(Collectors.toList());
objectList.add(new Object());
System.out.println(objectList);

This would create ArrayList object like you do you your trial.
