How to pass a function an array literal?

Question

How do I pass a array without making it a seperate variable? For example I know this works:

class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        String[] arbitraryStrings={"foo"};
        takesStringArray(arbitraryStrings);
    }
    public static void takesStringArray(String[] argument){
        System.out.println(argument);
    }
}

But I dont want to make the array a variable as it is only used here. Is there any way to do something like this:

class Test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        takesStringArray({"foo"});
    }
    public static void takesStringArray(String[] argument){
        System.out.println(argument);
    }
}

{"foo"} doens't tell Java anything about what type of array you are trying to create...

Instead, try something like...

takesStringArray(new String[] {"foo"});
