Adding to ListBox From Array

I got the following code from a YouTube by a brilliant guy, Sloan Kelly. I want to replace the hard-coded names with an array. I have been playing around with it for awhile, but the best I came up with was blank buttons.

Any ideas?

public class AddObjectToList : MonoBehaviour
{
public ListBox listBox;

public Sprite warningIcon;

public void AddButton_Click()
{
var buttons = new string[]
{
"Fred",
"Barney",
"Wilma",
"Betty",
"Pebbles",
"Bam-bam"
}
.Select(name => new Dropdown.OptionData(name))
.ToList();

listBox.AddOptions(buttons);

}

***********************************


public void AddOptions(List<Dropdown.OptionData> optionData)
{
foreach (var option in optionData)
{
// Construct our UI elements
var copy = Instantiate(itemTemplate);
copy.transform.SetParent(content.transform);
copy.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
copy.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;

copy.GetComponentInChildren<Text>().text = option.text;

// Add the event handler
copy.GetComponent<Button>().onClick.AddListener(
() => { OnItemSelected(FindIndex(copy)); }
);

// Add the option to the list
options.Add(option);
}
}

 

UPDATE

if anyone’s interested, Sloan goes over it here:

 

Please use code tags.

Is the code that you posted the original code that successfully sets "hard-coded" names, or is it your modified version that attempts to use an array but ends up with blank names? (I see an array in there, but the array is initialized using hard-coded values, so both descriptions seem like they would fit.)

 

It is the actual code, untouched, which worked.

 

Turns out my Unity Scene was apparently broken. After two days of thinking there was some other-worldly concept I was missing, it all came down to removing and redoing a couple of the UI's.
