How to convert int[] into List in Java?

Question

How do I convert int[] into List in Java?

Of course, I\'m interested in any other answer than doing it in a loop, item by it

Answer 1

Arrays.asList will not work as some of the other answers expect.

This code will not create a list of 10 integers. It will print 1, not 10:

int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
List lst = Arrays.asList(arr);
System.out.println(lst.size());

This will create a list of integers:

List lst = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10);

If you already have the array of ints, there is not quick way to convert, you're better off with the loop.

On the other hand, if your array has Objects, not primitives in it, Arrays.asList will work:

String str[] = { "Homer", "Marge", "Bart", "Lisa", "Maggie" };
List lst = Arrays.asList(str);
