如何初始化ArrayList

最近遇到一个问题

ArrayList list = new ArrayList(5);
list.add(2,"zs");

而居然出现了如下的异常

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 2, Size: 0
	at java.util.ArrayList.rangeCheckForAdd(Unknown Source)
	at java.util.ArrayList.add(Unknown Source)
	at 集合.MyImplement.main(MyImplement.java:18)

后来看了看ArrayList的源码

	public ArrayList(int initialCapacity) {
        if (initialCapacity > 0) {
            this.elementData = new Object[initialCapacity];
        } else if (initialCapacity == 0) {
            this.elementData = EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA;
        } else {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal Capacity: "+
                                               initialCapacity);
        }
    }

initialCapacity只是指定了他的elementData数组的初始化容量的大小,而size()方法返回的是size属性的大小,两者并无关系

	public int size() {
        return size;
    }

/**
     * The array buffer into which the elements of the ArrayList are stored.
     * The capacity of the ArrayList is the length of this array buffer. Any
     * empty ArrayList with elementData == DEFAULTCAPACITY_EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA
     * will be expanded to DEFAULT_CAPACITY when the first element is added.
     */
    transient Object[] elementData;
/**
     * The size of the ArrayList (the number of elements it contains).
     *
     * @serial
     */
    private int size;

此时size还是0,所以此时getSize()的值也就为0

重点来了

要想解决怎么办呢,就要用到ArrayList的另一个构造函数了

ArrayList list = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(new Object[5]));
System.out.println(list.size());

此时结果为

5

Process finished with exit code 0

这是因为size = elementData.length 会把此时的数组长度赋值给size,所以得到的值就会为new Object[5]的长度

public ArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c) {
        elementData = c.toArray();
        if ((size = elementData.length) != 0) {
            // c.toArray might (incorrectly) not return Object[] (see 6260652)
            if (elementData.getClass() != Object[].class)
                elementData = Arrays.copyOf(elementData, size, Object[].class);
        } else {
            // replace with empty array.
            this.elementData = EMPTY_ELEMENTDATA;
        }
    }
