Thanks for the suggestions, I had declared the ArrayList with a value of "null" at the start of the class. Removing this declaration works fine. I can only assume this was a really bad thing to do, but don't really know why.
FYI the (stringToObject()) was in response to the first thing I tried not working, which was as Vijay suggested. I was trying to guess where I made my error.
You can probably tell I'm making this up as I go, and I should warn you to be prepared for more silly beginners questions.
Anyway, it didn't work till I asked for help so I'll credit you guys for fixing it and slink sheepishly back to (blindly) hacking out more mistakes.
Thanks,
Scott
