Convert Java Array to ArrayList Code Example

In this tutorial, we will see how to convert an Array into an ArrayList in Java Programming Language.

In order to convert an Array in Java into an ArrayList you can make use of Arrays.asList(String... a) function,

package com.code2care.tutorials;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

public class JavaArrayToArrayList {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

        //A String Array in Java
	String[] langArr = { "Java", "Python", "PHP", "C++", ".Net", "Kotlin", "C" };

        //Iterating over a String array using for-each loop
	for (String string : langArr) {
		System.out.println(string);
	}

        //Below statement converts String Array to ArrayList
	List<String> listArrayList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(langArr));

        //Iterating over a ArrayList
	for (Iterator<String> iterator = listArrayList.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
		String language = (String) iterator.next();
		System.out.println(language);
	}

}
