hmm.. i think that grasping the basics and writing your own's from scratch is much better than changing a one-dimensional array function into a two-dimensional array function in this case since it's quite simple.. ;)

public void displayItem(){

display.removeAll();

if (counter1<0 || counter2<0){
// i don't know how u keep track of your counters, but if u want
// it to be two-dimensional, u better keep track of it properly
// when counter2==max, set counter1++ and counter2=0
display.add("No record in the array.");
}
else
{
for(int i=0;i<=counter1;i++)
for(int j=0;j<=counter2;j++)
display.add(purchase[i][j].getAll());
}
}

still, i think that using Vector to keep track is much easier than using arrays.. what do u guys think?
