Is it possible to make a three dimensional ArrayList?
I never know what to put in my signature...

Not directly. But you can box two Lists together for 2-dim list:

Which needs another level for a 3d list:
Also, don't forget that unlike array initialization, you can't really specify a size. Instead, the outer list is empty by default, and you need to add new lists whenever you need them. What you can do is add null references:
And Ben, you can't declare a List<List<?>> and then assign to it a ArrayList<ArrayList<?>>; ArrayList<List<?>> will work fine though, and can have both ArrayList and LinkedList elements added.

So you essentially make an ArrayList of Lists, and then assign your values to the list. Now that I think of it, I could probably just make an ArrayList of Arrays- I'm storing data in this, and I have a fixed number of columns, but a variable number of rows. Could you do this by saying something like
I believe I have usable code!
