java list数组优点,使用Arrays.asList（）创建列表的好处

When we create a new List from it, say for example -

Integer[] I = new Integer[] { new Integer(1), new Integer(2), new Integer(3) };

List list1 = Arrays.asList(I);

List list2 = ((List) Arrays.asList(I));

We cannot perform most of the the regular operations on it like .add(), .remove(). Thus, I was not able add an iterator to it to avoid concurrent modification.

Oracle docs state

public static List asList(T... a)

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 Collection.toArray(). The returned list is serializable and

implements RandomAccess.

It works well with creating a new List. List list3 = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(I));

So, why this and what are its advantages and disadvantages?

Not being able to call add, remove, etc is the exact difference. If you don't need those methods, Arrays.asList gives you a perfectly fine view of the array as a List (for APIs that take collections rather than arrays). If you need to change the "shape" of the list, then new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(myArray)) is the way to go.
