条件:不修改原有列表;只使用JDK,没有外部库。单行程序或JDK 1.3版本的加分项。

有没有比这更简单的方法:

List<String> newList = new ArrayList<String>();
newList.addAll(listOne);
newList.addAll(listTwo);

当前回答

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;
}

其他回答

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]

在一般情况下,如果不介绍您自己的实用程序方法,我无法改进双行程序,但如果您确实有字符串列表,并且您愿意假设这些字符串不包含逗号,您可以使用这个长一行程序:

List<String> newList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList((listOne.toString().subString(1, listOne.length() - 1) + ", " + listTwo.toString().subString(1, listTwo.length() - 1)).split(", ")));

如果去掉泛型,这应该是JDK 1.4兼容的(尽管我还没有测试)。也不建议用于生产代码;-)

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

    /** 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
    public E set(final int index, final E element) {
        return getList(index).set(getListIndex(index), element);
    }

    @Override
    public void add(final int index, final E element) {
        getList(index).add(getListIndex(index), element);
    }

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

    @Override
    public int size() {
        return list1.size() + list2.size();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean contains(final Object o) {
        return list1.contains(o) || list2.contains(o);
    }

    @Override
    public void clear() {
        list1.clear();
        list2.clear();
    }

    /**

    private int getListIndex(final int index) {
        final int size1 = list1.size();
        return index >= size1 ? index - size1 : index;
    }

    /**

     */
    private List<E> getList(final int index) {
        return index >= list1.size() ? list2 : list1;
    }

}

你可以通过一个静态导入和一个helper类来实现

注意这个类的泛化可能还有待改进

public class Lists {

   private Lists() { } // can't be instantiated

   public static List<T> join(List<T>... lists) {
      List<T> result = new ArrayList<T>();
      for(List<T> list : lists) {
         result.addAll(list);
      }
      return results;
   }

}

然后你就可以做

import static Lists.join;
List<T> result = join(list1, list2, list3, list4);

如果您希望静态地执行此操作,可以执行以下操作。

示例中使用了2个自然顺序(==Enum-order)的enumset A, B,然后在ALL列表中连接。

public static final EnumSet<MyType> CATEGORY_A = EnumSet.of(A_1, A_2);
public static final EnumSet<MyType> CATEGORY_B = EnumSet.of(B_1, B_2, B_3);

public static final List<MyType> ALL = 
              Collections.unmodifiableList(
                  new ArrayList<MyType>(CATEGORY_A.size() + CATEGORY_B.size())
                  {{
                      addAll(CATEGORY_A);
                      addAll(CATEGORY_B);
                  }}
              );
