Description
public static List asList(T… a)
Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array. (Changes to the returned list “write through” to the array.) This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs, in combination with Collection.toArray(). The returned list is serializable and implements RandomAccess.
This method also provides a convenient way to create a fixed-size list initialized to contain several elements:
List stooges = Arrays.asList(“Larry”, “Moe”, “Curly”);
Type Parameters:
T – the class of the objects in the array
Parameters:
a – the array by which the list will be backed
Returns:
a list view of the specified array
