Create ArrayList from array

Question

I have an array that is initialized like:

Element[] array = {new Element(1), new Element(2), new Element(3)};

I would like to convert this

Answer 1

According with the question the answer using java 1.7 is:

ArrayList arraylist = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(array));

However it's better always use the interface:

List arraylist = Arrays.asList(array);
