Convert a Queue to List

Question

What is the fastest way to convert a Queue into a List while keeping the Queue order?

Answer 1

Answering to old question for users who are already on java 8
Java 8 provides the option of using streams and you can get a list from queue as:

For example:

Queue queue = new LinkedList<>();
        Student s1 = new Student("A",2);
        Student s2 = new Student("B",1);
        Student s3 = new Student("C",3);
        queue.add(s1);
        queue.add(s2);
        queue.add(s3);

    List studentList = queue.stream().collect(Collectors.toCollection(ArrayList::new));
