问题
I'm using JavaConverters to go from a Java SortedSet to a Vector.
val lines = function.getInstructions.asScala.toVector
My getInstructions function returns an ArrayList of java.lang.Long, yet the consuming code requires Scala.Long. Is there a way to do this without changing all of my consuming code to use Java.lang.Long?
Furthermore, is there a way to do an implicit conversion to a value class to allow random access to the ArrayList without allocating an extra object as above? Thanks a ton for any insight you might provide.
回答1:
Scala has autoboxing, so much of the time a scala.Long
is a java.lang.Long
. This is almost always the case when the value is stored inside a collection like Vector
. At present it is safe to do a .asInstanceOf[Vector[scala.Long]]
to convert the type of the Vector
, but this could change in the future.
A safer way is to explicitly convert the values. Scala has implicit conversions between scala.Long
and java.lang.Long
, but they won't convert collections of those types. However, you can combine them with map
to convert, e.g. .map(Long2long)
to convert a collection of java.lang.Long
to a collection of scala.Long
.
As for your second question, if you import scala.collection.JavaConversions._
instead of JavaConverters
you will get a set of implicit conversions. However, the recommended way is it to use JavaConverters
. It would also be more efficient in your case, because the wrapper only has to be created once.
If you really like to play fast and dangerous, you could write your own implicit conversion:
implicit def convArrayList(al: ArrayList[java.lang.Long]): Vector[Long] =
al.asScala.map(Long2long)(collection.breakOut)
