【Android API】java.util.List<E>

java.util.List<E>

属于公共接口，因此List<String> list = new List<String>();是无法实例化的。

已知间接子类：

AbstractList <E>, AbstractSequentialList <E>, ArrayList <E>, CopyOnWriteArrayList <E>, LinkedList <E>, Stack <E>, Vector <E> 可以通过这些类来实例化。比如：

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

Public Methods
abstract boolean	add(E object) Adds the specified object at the end of this List.
abstract void	add(int location, E object) Inserts the specified object into this List at the specified location.
abstract boolean	addAll(Collection<? extends E> collection) Adds the objects in the specified collection to the end of this List.
abstract boolean	addAll(int location, Collection<? extends E> collection) Inserts the objects in the specified collection at the specified location in this List.
abstract void	clear() Removes all elements from this List, leaving it empty.
abstract boolean	contains(Object object) Tests whether this List contains the specified object.
abstract boolean	containsAll(Collection<?> collection) Tests whether this List contains all objects contained in the specified collection.
abstract boolean	equals(Object object) Compares the given object with the List, and returns true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.
abstract E	get(int location) Returns the element at the specified location in this List.
abstract int	hashCode() Returns the hash code for this List.
abstract int	indexOf(Object object) Searches this List for the specified object and returns the index of the first occurrence.
abstract boolean	isEmpty() Returns whether this List contains no elements.
abstract Iterator<E>	iterator() Returns an iterator on the elements of this List.
abstract int	lastIndexOf(Object object) Searches this List for the specified object and returns the index of the last occurrence.
abstract ListIterator<E>	listIterator(int location) Returns a list iterator on the elements of this List.
abstract ListIterator<E>	listIterator() Returns a List iterator on the elements of this List.
abstract E	remove(int location) Removes the object at the specified location from this List.
abstract boolean	remove(Object object) Removes the first occurrence of the specified object from this List.
abstract boolean	removeAll(Collection<?> collection) Removes all occurrences in this List of each object in the specified collection.
abstract boolean	retainAll(Collection<?> collection) Removes all objects from this List that are not contained in the specified collection.
abstract E	set(int location, E object) Replaces the element at the specified location in this List with the specified object.
abstract int	size() Returns the number of elements in this List.
abstract List<E>	subList(int start, int end) Returns a List of the specified portion of this List from the given start index to the end index minus one.
abstract <T> T[]	toArray(T[] array) Returns an array containing all elements contained in this List.
abstract Object[]	toArray() Returns an array containing all elements contained in this List.
