Removing all Nulls from a List in Java

注意移除null元素是修改List本身还是,生成新的List没有null元素.

    }

        System.out.println(list); // [china]
    }

    // ****Remove nulls from a List Using Lambdas (Java 8)
    public static void removeNullElement_6() {
        List<String> list = Lists.newArrayList(null, "china", null);
        List<String> listWithoutNulls = list.stream().filter(Objects::nonNull).collect(Collectors.toList());

    }

}

output

[china]
[china]
[china]
[null, china, null]
[china]
[china]
[china]
