List is a generic class that can handle most data.

Initializing a List:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
 
// Method 1
List<Object> arr = Arrays.asList(
    1, "10001", "Acme Inc.", 1, null 
);
 
// Method 2
List<Object> arr = new ArrayList<Object>();
arr.add(1);
arr.add("10001");
arr.add("Acme Inc.");
arr.add(1);
arr.add(null);

ArrayList is derived from List. It can handle mixed primitives (as Object).

import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
 
public class MyRecord
{
  private Integer id;
  private String name;
 
  public ArrayList<Object> asArray()
  {
    ArrayList<Object> arr = new ArrayList<Object>();
 
    arr.add(this.id);
    arr.add(this.name);
 
    return arr;
  }
 
  public void fromArray(ArrayList<Object> arr)
  {
    this.id          = (Integer)arr.get(0);
    this.name        = (String)arr.get(1);
    this.created_at  = (LocalDateTime)arr.get(2);
    this.status      = (Boolean)arr.get(3);
  }
}
