慎用会导致UnsupportedOperationException的 Arrays.asList( )方法

由于数组的大小不可变以及操作方法较小，对于同类型的多个对象，我们习惯使用集合来存放它们并存放。

常用的数组转List 的方法 Arrays.asList(T... a );  传递多个可变参数，可转换成ArrayList 对象

一、案例，先来看两个方法

    方法一：

 public static void test1() {
        List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4);
        list.set(1, 22);
        list.add(5);
        list.remove(1);
    }

方法二：

public static void test2() {
        List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4));
        list.set(1, 22);
        list.add(5);
        list.remove(1);
    }

方法一中，list对象的add、remove操作都会操作失败，抛出java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException （不支持的操作异常），而set方法可以正常操作

方法二中，list对象的所有修改操作，都可以正常执行

二、浅析

原因是：Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4) 返回的对象是 Arrays的内部类，继承了AbstractList，AbstractList中的set, add, remove 抽象方法中都是直接throw new UnsupportedOperationException(); 但内部类 ArrayList 并未重写父类的 add，remove方法。

所以，对Arrays.asList 在包装一层，使用方法二的方式，生成的List对象就是我们熟知的 ArrayList了

三、深析

Arrays.asList 方法的源码，注意英文文档注释的意思

    /**
     * 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 {@link Collection#toArray}.  The returned list is
     * serializable and implements {@link RandomAccess}.
     *
     * <p>This method also provides a convenient way to create a fixed-size
     * list initialized to contain several elements:
     * <pre>
     *     List&lt;String&gt; stooges = Arrays.asList("Larry", "Moe", "Curly");
     * </pre>
     *
     * @param <T> the class of the objects in the array
     * @param a the array by which the list will be backed
     * @return a list view of the specified array
     */
    @SafeVarargs
    @SuppressWarnings("varargs")
    public static <T> List<T> asList(T... a) {
        return new ArrayList<>(a);
    }

 

AbstractList的源码：

/**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     *
     * <p>This implementation always throws an
     * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
     *
     * @throws UnsupportedOperationException {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws ClassCastException            {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws NullPointerException          {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException      {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException     {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public E set(int index, E element) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }

 /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     *
     * <p>This implementation always throws an
     * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
     *
     * @throws UnsupportedOperationException {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws ClassCastException            {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws NullPointerException          {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException      {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException     {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public void add(int index, E element) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }

 /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     *
     * <p>This implementation always throws an
     * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
     *
     * @throws UnsupportedOperationException {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException     {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public E remove(int index) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }
