Christian, This is more a java suggestion than anything to do with AdWords as your posted code works, but I think it is aligned with the nature of the question.
A cleaner way to handle this would be to extract the array of strings out of the constructor calls and setter methods and instead make them fields of your class. This also saves on garbage collection overhead if you make multiple calls to that method reusing the same instance of your class. I feel this will also make the code much more maintainable in the future. You can then abstract the logic out to something like this(which addAll most likely does anyway under the covers): { // class level declarations to save on garbage collection for things that are always initialized with the same value in a particular method String[] fieldsInReport = new String[] {"AdGroupId", "KeywordId", "Id", "Impressions", "Clicks", "Cost", "AveragePosition", "Date"}; String[] predicateValues = new String[] {"ENABLED", "PAUSED", "DISABLED"}; ... // inside the method which uses the arrays of Strings for(String field : fieldsInReport){ fields.add(field); } statusPredicate = new Predicate(); statusPredicate.setField("Status"); statusPredicate.setOperator(PredicateOperator.IN); List<String> values = statusPredicate.getValues(); for(String value : predicateValues){ values.add(value); } } AdWords team : While thinking about this question I noticed the documentation is broken for the new Selector class in ReportDefinitionService: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/ReportDefinitionService.Selector -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
