Arrays.asList不能remove、add等,抛UnsupportedOperationException

我们知道，Arrays.asList返回的是个ArrayList，但是为什么不能修改呢？而且，当我们这么操作的时候会抛UnsupportedOperationException异常

其实，原因有点隐蔽，当我们仔细看Arrays的源码会发现，Arrays自己实现了一个ArrayList,仅仅是名字和常用的那个相同而已，而它返回的数组对象可用的方法就在下边：

    @SafeVarargs
    public static <T> List<T> asList(T... a) {
        return new ArrayList<>(a);
    }

    /**
     * @serial include
     */
    private static class ArrayList<E> extends AbstractList<E>
        implements RandomAccess, java.io.Serializable
    {
        private static final long serialVersionUID = -2764017481108945198L;
        private final E[] a;

        ArrayList(E[] array) {
            if (array==null)
                throw new NullPointerException();
            a = array;
        }

        public int size() {
            return a.length;
        }

        public Object[] toArray() {
            return a.clone();
        }

        public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a) {
            int size = size();
            if (a.length < size)
                return Arrays.copyOf(this.a, size,
                                     (Class<? extends T[]>) a.getClass());
            System.arraycopy(this.a, 0, a, 0, size);
            if (a.length > size)
                a[size] = null;
            return a;
        }

        public E get(int index) {
            return a[index];
        }

        public E set(int index, E element) {
            E oldValue = a[index];
            a[index] = element;
            return oldValue;
        }

        public int indexOf(Object o) {
            if (o==null) {
                for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++)
                    if (a[i]==null)
                        return i;
            } else {
                for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++)
                    if (o.equals(a[i]))
                        return i;
            }
            return -1;
        }

        public boolean contains(Object o) {
            return indexOf(o) != -1;
        }
    }

而，题目所说的remove、add方法此实现类就没有实现，再看它的父类(AbstractList<E>)中关于这两个方法的是实现：

    /**
     * {@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();
    }

到这里，我们就已经很明朗的知道，Arrays.asList为什么不能移除、新增项了。

那么，我们该怎么办呢？

方法是有的，我们这么干：

		String[] array = new String[]{"1","2","3","4"};
		List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(array));

这样就可以对 list 进行add、remove操作了。
