Create ArrayList from array

Question

I have an array that is initialized like:

Element[] array = {new Element(1), new Element(2), new Element(3)};

I would like to convert this

Answer 1

Since Java 8 there is an easier way to transform:

import java.util.List;    
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.toList;

public static  List fromArray(T[] array) {
    return Arrays.stream(array).collect(toList());
}
