Varargs to ArrayList problem in Java

Question

I don\'t understand why the following does not work:

public void doSomething(int... args){
  List broken = new ArrayList(Arrays         


        

Answer 1

In this case, autoboxing (automatic conversion from int to Integer) doesn't work. You have to add each int manually to the list.

If you need code like that often, consider using commons lang which has org.apache.commons.lang.ArrayUtils.toObject(int[])
