Conversions between Java and Scala collections
Like Scala, Java also has a rich collections library. There are many similarities between the two. For instance, both libraries know iterators, iterables, sets, maps, and sequences. But there are also important differences. In particular, the Scala libraries put much more emphasis on immutable collections, and provide many more operations that transform a collection into a new one.
Sometimes you might need to pass from one collection framework to the other. For instance, you might want to access to an existing Java collection, as if it was a Scala collection. Or you might want to pass one of Scala’s collections to a Java method that expects its Java counterpart. It is quite easy to do this, because Scala offers implicit conversions between all the major collection types in the JavaConversions object. In particular, you will find bidirectional conversions between the following types.
Iterator <=> java.util.Iterator
Iterator <=> java.util.Enumeration
Iterable <=> java.lang.Iterable
Iterable <=> java.util.Collection
mutable.Buffer <=> java.util.List
mutable.Set <=> java.util.Set
mutable.Map <=> java.util.Map
mutable.ConcurrentMap <=> java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap
To enable these conversions, simply import them from the JavaConversions object:
scala> import collection.JavaConversions._
import collection.JavaConversions._
You have now automatic conversions between Scala collections and their corresponding Java collections.
scala> import collection.mutable._
import collection.mutable._
scala> val jul: java.util.List[Int] = ArrayBuffer(1, 2, 3)
jul: java.util.List[Int] = [1, 2, 3]
scala> val buf: Seq[Int] = jul
buf: scala.collection.mutable.Seq[Int] = ArrayBuffer(1, 2, 3)
scala> val m: java.util.Map[String, Int] = HashMap("abc" -> 1, "hello" -> 2)
m: java.util.Map[String,Int] = {hello=2, abc=1}
Internally, these conversion work by setting up a “wrapper” object that forwards all operations to the underlying collection object. So collections are never copied when converting between Java and Scala. An interesting property is that if you do a round-trip conversion from, say a Java type to its corresponding Scala type, and back to the same Java type, you end up with the identical collection object you have started with.
The are some other common Scala collections than can also be converted to Java types, but which to not have a corresponding conversion in the other sense. These are:
Seq => java.util.List
mutable.Seq => java.utl.List
Set => java.util.Set
Map => java.util.Map
Because Java does not distinguish between mutable and immutable collections in their type, a conversion from, say, scala.immutable.List will yield a java.util.List, where all mutation operations throw an “UnsupportedOperationException”. Here’s an example:
scala> jul = List(1, 2, 3)
jul: java.util.List[Int] = [1, 2, 3]
scala> jul.add(7)
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:131)
JavaConversions provide a series of implicit methods that convert between a Java collection and the closest corresponding Scala collection, and vice versa. This is done by creating wrappers that implement either the Scala interface and forward the calls to the underlying Java collection, or the Java interface, forwarding the calls to the underlying Scala collection.
JavaConverters uses the pimp-my-library pattern to “add” the asScala method to the Java collections and the asJava method to the Scala collections, which return the appropriate wrappers discussed above. It is newer (since version 2.8.1) than JavaConversions (since 2.8) and makes the conversion between Scala and Java collection explicit. Contrary to what David writes in his answer, I’d recommend you make it a habit to use JavaConverters as you’ll be much less likely to write code that makes a lot of implicit conversions, as you can control the only spot where that will happen: where you write .asScala or .asJava.
Here’s the conversion methods that JavaConverters provide:
Pimped Type | Conversion Method | Returned Type
scala.collection.Iterator | asJava | java.util.Iterator
scala.collection.Iterator | asJavaEnumeration | java.util.Enumeration
scala.collection.Iterable | asJava | java.lang.Iterable
scala.collection.Iterable | asJavaCollection | java.util.Collection
scala.collection.mutable.Buffer | asJava | java.util.List
scala.collection.mutable.Seq | asJava | java.util.List
scala.collection.Seq | asJava | java.util.List
scala.collection.mutable.Set | asJava | java.util.Set
scala.collection.Set | asJava | java.util.Set
scala.collection.mutable.Map | asJava | java.util.Map
scala.collection.Map | asJava | java.util.Map
scala.collection.mutable.Map | asJavaDictionary | java.util.Dictionary
scala.collection.mutable.ConcurrentMap | asJavaConcurrentMap | java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
java.util.Iterator | asScala | scala.collection.Iterator
java.util.Enumeration | asScala | scala.collection.Iterator
java.lang.Iterable | asScala | scala.collection.Iterable
java.util.Collection | asScala | scala.collection.Iterable
java.util.List | asScala | scala.collection.mutable.Buffer
java.util.Set | asScala | scala.collection.mutable.Set
java.util.Map | asScala | scala.collection.mutable.Map
java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap | asScala | scala.collection.mutable.ConcurrentMap
java.util.Dictionary | asScala | scala.collection.mutable.Map
java.util.Properties | asScala | scala.collection.mutable.Map[String, String]
我的错误在于:
在scala 中使用了java的 Arraylist 在调用ArrayList的add 方法时,我用的是scala集合类的+=
由于ArrayList没有这个方法所以会抛出异常.
