Mixed types in one array

So if I want to create an array of strings, it's: String[] myArray = {"Jane", "Joe"} How would I declare an array that can have items of different types, e.g. both string and boolean, e.g. {"Jane", true, "Joe", true}? Is it possible in Java?

This isn't possible through Java, as in there isn't a data type that allows for mixed types. You can get around this though. Maybe try converting data values into strings and placing them into a string array (and then trying to convert them back).
