java.util.Arrays工具类包含了数组比较常用的方法，本文对该类进行整理并给出简单的示例，本文使用的JDK版本为1.7。
先来看一下，Arrays有哪些方法，然后，我们一个个地来玩一下。
获取固定大小的List
使用该方法可以返回一个固定大小的List。
源代码
/**
* 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<String> 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
*/
@SafeVarargs
public static <T> List<T> asList(T... a) {
return new ArrayList<>(a);
}示例
List<String> greetings = Arrays.asList("Hello", "Hi", "Good morning");
//[Hello, Hi, Good morning]
System.out.println(greetings);注意：
该方法返回的List是固定大小的，即不能进行添加、删除等操作。

二分查找
使用该方法可以对一个给定的数组进行二分查找，数组的元素可以是int、byte、char等，如下来看一下int的二分查找方法和示例。
源代码
/**
* Searches a range of
* the specified array of ints for the specified value using the
* binary search algorithm.
* The range must be sorted (as
* by the {@link #sort(int[], int, int)} method)
* prior to making this call. If it
* is not sorted, the results are undefined. If the range contains
* multiple elements with the specified value, there is no guarantee which
* one will be found.
*
* @param a the array to be searched
* @param fromIndex the index of the first element (inclusive) to be
* searched
* @param toIndex the index of the last element (exclusive) to be searched
* @param key the value to be searched for
* @return index of the search key, if it is contained in the array
* within the specified range;
* otherwise, <tt>(-(<i>insertion point</i>) - 1)</tt>. The
* <i>insertion point</i> is defined as the point at which the
* key would be inserted into the array: the index of the first
* element in the range greater than the key,
* or <tt>toIndex</tt> if all
* elements in the range are less than the specified key. Note
* that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if
* and only if the key is found.
* @throws IllegalArgumentException
* if {@code fromIndex > toIndex}
* @throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
* if {@code fromIndex < 0 or toIndex > a.length}
* @since 1.6
*/
public static int binarySearch(int[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex,
int key) {
rangeCheck(a.length, fromIndex, toIndex);
return binarySearch0(a, fromIndex, toIndex, key);
}
// Like public version, but without range checks.
private static int binarySearch0(int[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex,
int key) {

if (midVal < key)
low = mid + 1;
else if (midVal > key)
high = mid - 1;
else
return mid; // key found
}
return -(low + 1); // key not found.
}也可以在指定的某个区间内查找：

}从上述源代码可以看出，Arrays的copyOf方法最终还是调用了System.arraycopy的方法。
示例
String[] greetings = { "Hello", "Hi", "Good morning", "Good afternoon" };
String[] copyGreetings = Arrays.copyOf(greetings, greetings.length);
//[Hello, Hi, Good morning, Good afternoon]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(copyGreetings));
String[] copyofRangeGreetings = Arrays.copyOfRange(greetings, 0, greetings.length - 2);
//[Hello, Hi]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(copyofRangeGreetings));数组元素统一赋值
如果想给一个数组统一赋值，那么Arrays.fill将是一个不错的选择。
源代码
/**
* Assigns the specified int value to each element of the specified array
* of ints.
*
* @param a the array to be filled
* @param val the value to be stored in all elements of the array
*/
public static void fill(int[] a, int val) {
for (int i = 0, len = a.length; i < len; i++)
a[i] = val;
}fill方法其实就是循环了一下数组，然后给每个位置上的元素赋予一个指定的值。
示例
int[] intValues = new int[10];
//[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(intValues));
Arrays.fill(intValues, 100);
//[100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(intValues));数组元素排序
源代码
如果想对一个数组的元素进行排序，那么使用Arrays.sort方法会很容易。
如下int数组的排序源代码：
/**
* Sorts the specified array into ascending numerical order.
*
* <p>Implementation note: The sorting algorithm is a Dual-Pivot Quicksort
* by Vladimir Yaroslavskiy, Jon Bentley, and Joshua Bloch. This algorithm
* offers O(n log(n)) performance on many data sets that cause other
* quicksorts to degrade to quadratic performance, and is typically
* faster than traditional (one-pivot) Quicksort implementations.
*
* @param a the array to be sorted
*/
public static void sort(int[] a) {
DualPivotQuicksort.sort(a);
}
/**
* Sorts the specified array.
*
* @param a the array to be sorted
*/
public static void sort(int[] a) {
sort(a, 0, a.length - 1);
}
/**
* Sorts the specified range of the array.
*
* @param a the array to be sorted
* @param left the index of the first element, inclusive, to be sorted
* @param right the index of the last element, inclusive, to be sorted
*/
public static void sort(int[] a, int left, int right) {
// Use Quicksort on small arrays
if (right - left < QUICKSORT_THRESHOLD) {
sort(a, left, right, true);
return;
}
/*
* Index run[i] is the start of i-th run
* (ascending or descending sequence).
*/
int[] run = new int[MAX_RUN_COUNT + 1];
int count = 0; run[0] = left;
// Check if the array is nearly sorted
for (int k = left; k < right; run[count] = k) {
if (a[k] < a[k + 1]) { // ascending
while (++k <= right && a[k - 1] <= a[k]);
} else if (a[k] > a[k + 1]) { // descending

int t = a[lo]; a[lo] = a[hi]; a[hi] = t;
}
} else { // equal
for (int m = MAX_RUN_LENGTH; ++k <= right && a[k - 1] == a[k]; ) {
if (--m == 0) {
sort(a, left, right, true);
return;
}
}
}
/*
* The array is not highly structured,
* use Quicksort instead of merge sort.
*/
if (++count == MAX_RUN_COUNT) {
sort(a, left, right, true);
return;
}
}
// Check special cases
if (run[count] == right++) { // The last run contains one element
run[++count] = right;
} else if (count == 1) { // The array is already sorted
return;
}
/*
* Create temporary array, which is used for merging.
* Implementation note: variable "right" is increased by 1.
*/
int[] b; byte odd = 0;
for (int n = 1; (n <<= 1) < count; odd ^= 1);
if (odd == 0) {
b = a; a = new int[b.length];
for (int i = left - 1; ++i < right; a[i] = b[i]);
} else {
b = new int[a.length];
}
// Merging
for (int last; count > 1; count = last) {
for (int k = (last = 0) + 2; k <= count; k += 2) {
int hi = run[k], mi = run[k - 1];
for (int i = run[k - 2], p = i, q = mi; i < hi; ++i) {

for (int i = right, lo = run[count - 1]; --i >= lo;
b[i] = a[i]
);
run[++last] = right;
}
int[] t = a; a = b; b = t;
}
}示例
int[] intValues = { 1, 6, 5, 9, 3, 4, 2, 7, 8 };
//[1, 6, 5, 9, 3, 4, 2, 7, 8]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(intValues));
Arrays.sort(intValues);
//[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(intValues));
如果数组中的元素是对象，可以自己编写一个比较器（Comparator）来完成，Arrays.sort也提供了相关的方法可以调用，如：
/**
* Sorts the specified array of objects according to the order induced by
* the specified comparator. All elements in the array must be
* <i>mutually comparable</i> by the specified comparator (that is,
* {@code c.compare(e1, e2)} must not throw a {@code ClassCastException}
* for any elements {@code e1} and {@code e2} in the array).
*
* <p>This sort is guaranteed to be <i>stable</i>: equal elements will
* not be reordered as a result of the sort.
*
* <p>Implementation note: This implementation is a stable, adaptive,
* iterative mergesort that requires far fewer than n lg(n) comparisons
* when the input array is partially sorted, while offering the
* performance of a traditional mergesort when the input array is
* randomly ordered. If the input array is nearly sorted, the
* implementation requires approximately n comparisons. Temporary
* storage requirements vary from a small constant for nearly sorted
* input arrays to n/2 object references for randomly ordered input
* arrays.
*
* <p>The implementation takes equal advantage of ascending and
* descending order in its input array, and can take advantage of
* ascending and descending order in different parts of the the same
* input array. It is well-suited to merging two or more sorted arrays:
* simply concatenate the arrays and sort the resulting array.
*
* <p>The implementation was adapted from Tim Peters's list sort for Python
* (<a href="http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Objects/listsort.txt">
* TimSort</a>). It uses techiques from Peter McIlroy's "Optimistic
* Sorting and Information Theoretic Complexity", in Proceedings of the
* Fourth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, pp 467-474,
* January 1993.
*
* @param a the array to be sorted
* @param c the comparator to determine the order of the array. A
* {@code null} value indicates that the elements'
* {@linkplain Comparable natural ordering} should be used.
* @throws ClassCastException if the array contains elements that are
* not <i>mutually comparable</i> using the specified comparator
* @throws IllegalArgumentException (optional) if the comparator is
* found to violate the {@link Comparator} contract
*/
public static <T> void sort(T[] a, Comparator<? super T> c) {
if (LegacyMergeSort.userRequested)
legacyMergeSort(a, c);
else
TimSort.sort(a, c);
}
/** To be removed in a future release. */
private static <T> void legacyMergeSort(T[] a, Comparator<? super T> c) {
T[] aux = a.clone();
if (c==null)
mergeSort(aux, a, 0, a.length, 0);
else
mergeSort(aux, a, 0, a.length, 0, c);
}输出内容
Arrays工具类提供了toString和deepToString方法，用于更好地输出数组中的元素。
如果一个int数组，int[] intValues = { 1, 6, 5, 9, 3, 4, 2, 7, 8 };
直接使用System.out.println(intValues);去尝试输出内容，将得到一个类似[I@1453ecec的结果。这个时候，使用Arrays.toString可以帮助我们输出数组内容，如果是多维数组，则需要使用deepToString来输出。

* Returns <tt>true</tt> if the two specified arrays are <i>deeply
* equal</i> to one another. Unlike the {@link #equals(Object[],Object[])}
* method, this method is appropriate for use with nested arrays of
* arbitrary depth.
*
* <p>Two array references are considered deeply equal if both
* are <tt>null</tt>, or if they refer to arrays that contain the same
* number of elements and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two
* arrays are deeply equal.
*
* <p>Two possibly <tt>null</tt> elements <tt>e1</tt> and <tt>e2</tt> are
* deeply equal if any of the following conditions hold:
* <ul>
* <li> <tt>e1</tt> and <tt>e2</tt> are both arrays of object reference
* types, and <tt>Arrays.deepEquals(e1, e2) would return true</tt>
* <li> <tt>e1</tt> and <tt>e2</tt> are arrays of the same primitive
* type, and the appropriate overloading of
* <tt>Arrays.equals(e1, e2)</tt> would return true.
* <li> <tt>e1 == e2</tt>
* <li> <tt>e1.equals(e2)</tt> would return true.
* </ul>
* Note that this definition permits <tt>null</tt> elements at any depth.
*
* <p>If either of the specified arrays contain themselves as elements
* either directly or indirectly through one or more levels of arrays,
* the behavior of this method is undefined.

上述给出了几个使用Arrays工具类的示例，其实也已经有很多的开源工具，如Apache的Common-lang包等。如Apache Common-Lang包中的ArrayUtils工具类就包含了较多的方法, 如：
- 判断是否为空
/**
* <p>Checks if an array of primitive ints is empty or <code>null</code>.</p>
*
* @param array the array to test
* @return <code>true</code> if the array is empty or <code>null</code>
* @since 2.1
*/
public static boolean isEmpty(int[] array) {
if (array == null || array.length == 0) {
return true;
}
return false;
}- 判断类型是否一样
/**
* <p>Checks whether two arrays are the same type taking into account
* multi-dimensional arrays.</p>
*
* @param array1 the first array, must not be <code>null</code>
* @param array2 the second array, must not be <code>null</code>
* @return <code>true</code> if type of arrays matches
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if either array is <code>null</code>
*/
public static boolean isSameType(Object array1, Object array2) {
if (array1 == null || array2 == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The Array must not be null");
}
return array1.getClass().getName().equals(array2.getClass().getName());
}- 数组元素反序
/**
* <p>Reverses the order of the given array.</p>
*
* <p>There is no special handling for multi-dimensional arrays.</p>
*
* <p>This method does nothing for a <code>null</code> input array.</p>
*
* @param array the array to reverse, may be <code>null</code>
*/
public static void reverse(Object[] array) {
if (array == null) {
return;
}
int i = 0;
int j = array.length - 1;
Object tmp;
while (j > i) {
tmp = array[j];
array[j] = array[i];
array[i] = tmp;
j--;
i++;
}
}还有其它的一些方法，这里就不一一列举了。ArrayUtils的简单示例如下：
int[] intValues1 = { 1, 6, 5, 9, 3, 4, 2, 7, 8 };
boolean isEmpty = ArrayUtils.isEmpty(intValues1);
//false
System.out.println(isEmpty);
int[] intValues2 = { 1, 6, 5, 9, 3, 4, 2, 7, 8 };
//true
boolean isSameType = ArrayUtils.isSameType(intValues1, intValues2);
System.out.println(isSameType);
//[1, 6, 5, 9, 3, 4, 2, 7, 8]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(intValues2));
ArrayUtils.reverse(intValues2);
//[8, 7, 2, 4, 3, 9, 5, 6, 1]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(intValues2));
使用这些工具类可以简化我们对数组的操作，同时简化代码，提高代码可读性。
