convert string to arraylist in java

Question

How to convert a String without separator to an ArrayList.

My String is like this:

String str = \"abcd...\"


        

Answer 1

String myString = "xxx";
ArrayList<Character> myArrayList = myString.chars().mapToObj(x -> (char) x).collect(toCollection(ArrayList::new));
myArrayList.forEach(System.out::println);

Answer 2

public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String str = "abcd...";
        ArrayList<Character> a=new ArrayList<Character>();
        for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
        {
            a.add(str.charAt(i));

        }
        System.out.println(a);
    }

Answer 3

Sorry for the Retrobump, but this is now really easy!

You can do this easily in Java 8 using Streams! Try this:

String string = "testingString";
List<Character> list = string.chars().mapToObj((i) -> Character.valueOf((char)i)).collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(list);

You need to use mapToObj because chars() returns an IntStream.

Answer 4

use lambda expression to do this.

String big_data = "big-data";
ArrayList<Character> chars
        = new ArrayList<>(
                 big_data.chars()
                .mapToObj(e -> (char) e)
                .collect(
                        Collectors.toList()
                )
        );    

Answer 5

you can do it like this:

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class YourClass{

    public static void main(String [] args){

        ArrayList<Character> char = new ArrayList<Character>();
        String str = "abcd...";

        for (int x = 0; x < str.length(); x ++){
            char.add(str.charAt(x));
        }
    }
}

Answer 6

You need to add it like this.

String str = "abcd...";
ArrayList<Character> chars = new ArrayList<Character>();
for (char c : str.toCharArray()) {
  chars.add(c);
}
