数组转换为List(Arrays.asList)后add或remove出现UnsupportedOperationException异常

List<String> stooges = Arrays.asList("Larry", "Moe", "Curly");

当转换后，使用add或者remove方法总是抛出java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException异常。

查看源代码,可知

  // Misc
    /**
     * 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 a the array by which the list will be backed
     * @return a list view of the specified array
     */
    public static <T> List<T> asList(T... a) {
return new ArrayList<T>(a);
    }

创建了一个ArrayList对象，而这个ArrayList并不是java.util包下面的ArrayList，而是java.util.Arrays类中的一个内部类，继续查看底层代码可知:

 /**
     * @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;
}

其继承了AbstractList类,而AbstractList中AbstractList的add和remoce方法实现为 public void add(int index, E element) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }

其中一种解决办法是把列表再拷贝到ArrayList中:

ArrayList newList = new ArrayList<>(list);

就可以使用add()和remove()方法了。
