Assigning an array to an ArrayList in Java

Question

Is it possible to assign an array to an ArrayList in Java?

Answer 1

You can use Arrays.asList():

Type[] anArray = ...
ArrayList aList = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(anArray));

or alternatively, Collections.addAll():

ArrayList aList = new ArrayList();
Collections.addAll(theList, anArray); 

Note that you aren't technically assigning an array to a List (well, you can't do that), but I think this is the end result you are looking for.
