Unable to you class as type in ArrayList

[OLS]

This is my main class 

import java.util.ArrayList;

class PersonListe {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		Person personOne = new Person("NameOne");
		Person personTwo = new Person("NameTwo");

		ArrayList<Person> persons = new ArrayList<Person>();

		persons.add(personOne.getName());
		persons.add(personTwo.getName());

		System.out.println(persons.size());
		persons.clear();
		System.out.println(persons.size());
	}
}

and this is my person class

public class Person{

    private String name; 

    public Person(String name){
        this.name = name; 
    }

    public String getName(){
        return name; 
    }
}

But I am unable to use the Person as type in the ArrayList, I haven't been doing to much programming and just doing some practice before exams and just want to clear this up before that.

You are trying to add strings to an array of Person class

I know that is clear but I'm trying to figure out how to solve it, and am I even able to use Person as a type and not use String? Using String as the type works 

[SCHISCHKA]

drop the .getName() function call.

 

persons.add(personOne);

persons.add(personOne);

Thank you, that solved it. I guess that is because the getName is returning a String and is causing that problem?

yes

I would advise to use somthing like :

 

List<Person> personList = new ArrayList<>();

 

Instead of using ArrayList as the type
