Reading in a data file into an array of objects?

Question

I'm having problems reading in my file into an array of objects. I created an if statement so that the lines of data get separated into two different subgroups one is produce and the other is cleaning. But when I run the program the objects that are created are empty. How do I connect the file into the objects? I'm missing something crucial.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

public class Inventory{

    public static void main(String[] args){
         int i=0;
         Product[] pr=new Product[16];
         File InventoryFile=new File("inventory.csv");
         Scanner in=null;
         try{
            in=new Scanner(InventoryFile);
            while(in.hasNext()){
               String line=in.nextLine();
               String[]fields=line.split(",");
               if(fields[0].equals("produce"))
                    pr[i]= new Produce();
               else 
                    pr[i]=new Cleaning();
               i++;
            }
            System.out.println(pr[6]);  
           }catch(FileNotFoundException e){
             System.out.println("Arrgggg"+e.getMessage());
           }    
      }
  }

Your problem stems from not even setting your varibles in your objects all you haven been doing is making them produce and cleaning but not filled in their fields.

I can not answer further without knowing how you set up your produce, product, and cleaning classes and how they get their varibles filled.
