You can have an array of any type, including an array of lists. You can also define arrays piecemeal, like this:
- int size = 5;
-
int [][] triangle = new int[size][];
-
for(int i=0; i<size; ++i) {
-
triangle[i] = new int[i+1];
-
}
It's not clear from your post what your real problem is. If it's that you want an array to grow or shrink, that's usually a sign that you should go with a collection like a list instead.
