Java: split a List into two sub-Lists?

Question

What\'s the simplest, most standard, and/or most efficient way to split a List into two sub-Lists in Java? It\'s OK to mutate the original List, so no copying should be nece

Answer 1

My solution:

List listToSplit = new ArrayList();

List list1 = new ArrayList();
List list2 = new ArrayList();

for (X entry : listToSplit)
{
    if (list1.size () > list2.size ())
        list2.add (entry);
    else
        list1.add( entry );
}

Should work :)
