mismatch error

[sandyw]

Help please
I get this error at bottom of the program for (EmployeeClass idx : arlist)
I get the error on arlist
Type mismatch: cannot convert from element type Object to EmployeeClass


How do I solve this error.
Here is part of my code:

public class Employee_listing {
    static ArrayList arlist;
    static Scanner kbd;

    public static EmployeeClass makePerson() {
    	EmployeeClass temp = null;

        // prompt for data
    	String id;
    	String ln;
        String fn;

        System.out.print("Enter Employee ID ==>");
        id = kbd.next();

        System.out.print("Enter Last Name ==>");
        ln = kbd.next();

        System.out.print("Enter First Name ==>");
        fn = kbd.next();


        // make an object
        temp = new EmployeeClass(id,ln,fn);

        return temp;
    }//close the public static EmployeeClass 

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // make array list object
        arlist = new ArrayList();

        // make a scanner
        kbd = new Scanner(System.in);

        // create people until select stop
        boolean endData = false;

        while (!endData) {
        	EmployeeClass temp = makePerson();
            arlist.add(temp);
            System.out.println("More (Y/N)-->");

            String ans = kbd.next();

            if (ans.equalsIgnoreCase("N")) {
                endData = true;
            }//close the if loop
        }//close the while loop

        // print out all elements of array list
        for (EmployeeClass idx : arlist) {
System.out.printf("Name is %s - %s \n", idx.getFname(),idx.getLname());
}
}

Define your ArrayList to take objects of type EmployeeClass.

 
ArrayList<EmployeeClass > list = new ArrayList<EmployeeClass >();
