Java Example – String Array To List

In this Java Example we will learn How To convert String Array To List Example.This Java Example, String Array To List shows how to convert Java String array to java.util.List object using Arrays.asList method.
To covert String array to java.util.List object, use List asList(String[] strArray) method of Arrays class.
Please note that list object created using this method can not be modified. Any attempt to call add or delete method would throw UnsupportedOperationException exception.

        String[] names = new String[]{"Lina", "alina", "Tom", "Jack", "harry", "Ram"};


        List list = (List) Arrays.asList(names);

        //display elements of List
        System.out.println("converted String array to List");
        for(int i=0; i < list.size(); i++){
            System.out.println(list.get(i));
        }

        /*
        * If you want modifiable list object, then use
        * ArrayList list = (ArrayList) Arrays.asList(names);
        */
        /* Alternate Method to covert String array to List */
        List anotherList = new ArrayList();

        Collections.addAll(anotherList, names);
    }
}

/*
Output:
converted String array to List
Lina
alina
Tom
Jack
harry
Ram
