下面是一个使用两行代码的java 8解决方案:

List<Object> newList = new ArrayList<>();
Stream.of(list1, list2).forEach(newList::addAll);

请注意，在以下情况下不应使用此方法

newList的来源是未知的，它可能已经与其他线程共享 修改newList的流是并行流，对newList的访问不是同步的，也不是线程安全的

由于副作用的考虑。

上述两个条件都不适用于上述连接两个列表的情况，因此这是安全的。

基于我对另一个问题的回答。

如果目标列表是预先声明的，你可以做一个联机程序。

(newList = new ArrayList<String>(list1)).addAll(list2);

在我看来最聪明的是:

/**
 * @param smallLists
 * @return one big list containing all elements of the small ones, in the same order.
 */
public static <E> List<E> concatenate (final List<E> ... smallLists)
{
    final ArrayList<E> bigList = new ArrayList<E>();
    for (final List<E> list: smallLists)
    {
        bigList.addAll(list);
    }
    return bigList;
}

import java.util.AbstractList;
import java.util.List;

public class ConcatList<E> extends AbstractList<E> {

    /** The first underlying list. */
    private final List<E> list1;
    /** The second underlying list. */
    private final List<E> list2;

    public ConcatList(final List<E> list1, final List<E> list2) {
        this.list1 = list1;
        this.list2 = list2;
    }

    @Override
    public E get(final int index) {
        return getList(index).get(getListIndex(index));
    }

    @Override

        list2.clear();

我们可以用两种方法使用java8连接两个列表。

    List<String> list1 = Arrays.asList("S", "T");
    List<String> list2 = Arrays.asList("U", "V");

1)使用concat:

    List<String> collect2 = Stream.concat(list1.stream(), list2.stream()).collect(toList());
    System.out.println("collect2 = " + collect2); // collect2 = [S, T, U, V]

2)使用flatMap:

    List<String> collect3 = Stream.of(list1, list2).flatMap(Collection::stream).collect(toList());
    System.out.println("collect3 = " + collect3); // collect3 = [S, T, U, V]

public static <T> List<T> merge(List<T>... args) {
    final List<T> result = new ArrayList<>();

    for (List<T> list : args) {
        result.addAll(list);
    }

    return result;
}
