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

as all said this will do so

 new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("1","2","3","4"));

and the common newest way to create array is observableArrays

ObservableList: A list that allows listeners to track changes when they occur.

for Java SE you can try

FXCollections.observableArrayList(new Element(1), new Element(2), new Element(3));

that is according to Oracle Docs

observableArrayList() Creates a new empty observable list that is backed by an arraylist. observableArrayList(E... items) Creates a new observable array list with items added to it.

Update Java 9

also in Java 9 it's a little bit easy:

List list = List.of("element 1", "element 2", "element 3");
