Alternative to @sol4me's solution:

Stream.of(theArray)

Of the difference between this and Arrays.stream(): it does make a difference if your array is of a primitive type. For instance, if you do:

Arrays.stream(someArray)

where someArray is a long[], it will return a LongStream. Stream.of(), on the other hand, will return a Stream with a single element.
