displayGroup.setObjectArray()? Also, NSDictionaries? Gross. It sounds like your gut is telling you something. Listen to it. Java has Objects and Interfaces. Use them.
I despise looking at Java code when all I see is an array of dictionaries which holds more arrays which have yet more dictionaries full of arrays and so on. Dictionaries are opaque. You don't know what's in them. Magic keys, magic values, and zero javadoc to explain any of it. In the end, it results in the least maintainable and most confusing code imaginable.
