Convert an array to list with specific range in Java 8












6














I want to convert one string array to list with specific range. In my case I always want from index 1 to last index. I don't need the index 0 value included in the list. Is there any direct method that I can use to filter and convert to the list as I need ?



public class test1 {

public static void main(String args) {
String optArr = {"start", "map1", "map2", "map3"};
List<String> list = Arrays.stream(optArr).collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(list);
}
}

    ArrayList class have a subList method, which can be used to slice the list.

    Aside: rename your class/variables to follow proper naming conventions and have meaningful names. e.g. ArrayToListConversionTest is also a better name

You can use Stream.skip():



List<String> list = Arrays.stream(optArr).skip(1).collect(Collectors.toList());

You can also use the overloaded method Arrays.stream​(T array, int startInclusive, int endExclusive) as :



List<String> list = Arrays.stream(optArr, 1, optArr.length)
.collect(Collectors.toList());



Returns a sequential Stream with the specified range of the specified
array as its source
.






Alternatively(non Java-8), using the subList is an option, but I would prefer chaining it in one-line instead of creating a new object as:



List<String> list = Arrays.asList(optArr).subList(1, optArr.length);

    One non Java 8 option might be to just create a view on top of your current list which omits the first element:



    List<String> list = Arrays.stream(optArr).collect(Collectors.toList());
    List<String> viewList = list.subList(1, list.size());


    This would mean though that the underlying data structure is still the original list, but one extra element in memory does not seem like a big penalty.

      One method use List.sublist(int,int)



      List<String> list = Arrays.asList(optArr).subList(1,optArr.length);
      System.out.println(list);


      Second method use Stream



      List<String> list = Arrays.stream(optArr)
      .skip(1)
      .collect(Collectors.toList());
      System.out.println(list);

        It should be like this.



        List<String> al = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(optArr));
        List actualList = list.subList(1, al.size());

          Looking at your data you might consider :



          List<String> list = Stream.of(optArr).filter(s -> s.startsWith("map")).collect(toList());


          But if you just want to filter the first index sublist is the way to go.
          You do not need to use stream whatever of are you can.

                                          Looking at your data you might consider :



                                          List<String> list = Stream.of(optArr).filter(s -> s.startsWith("map")).collect(toList());


                                          But if you just want to filter the first index sublist is the way to go.
                                          You do not need to use stream whatever of are you can.
