考虑空列表的一行代码如下:

T lastItem = list.size() == 0 ? null : list.get(list.size() - 1);

或者如果你不喜欢空值(性能不是问题):

Optional<T> lastItem = list.stream().reduce((first, second) -> second);

如果可以的话，将ArrayList替换为ArrayDeque，它有方便的方法，如removeLast。

这应该做到:

if (arrayList != null && !arrayList.isEmpty()) {
  T item = arrayList.get(arrayList.size()-1);
}

我使用micro-util类获取列表的最后(和第一个)元素:

public final class Lists {

    private Lists() {
    }

    public static <T> T getFirst(List<T> list) {
        return list != null && !list.isEmpty() ? list.get(0) : null;
    }

    public static <T> T getLast(List<T> list) {
        return list != null && !list.isEmpty() ? list.get(list.size() - 1) : null;
    }
}

稍微灵活一点:

import java.util.List;

/**
 * Convenience class that provides a clearer API for obtaining list elements.
 */
public final class Lists {

  private Lists() {
  }

  /**
   * Returns the first item in the given list, or null if not found.
   *
   * @param <T> The generic list type.
   * @param list The list that may have a first item.
   *
   * @return null if the list is null or there is no first item.
   */
  public static <T> T getFirst( final List<T> list ) {
    return getFirst( list, null );
  }

  /**
   * Returns the last item in the given list, or null if not found.
   *
   * @param <T> The generic list type.
   * @param list The list that may have a last item.
   *
   * @return null if the list is null or there is no last item.
   */
  public static <T> T getLast( final List<T> list ) {
    return getLast( list, null );
  }

  /**
   * Returns the first item in the given list, or t if not found.
   *
   * @param <T> The generic list type.
   * @param list The list that may have a first item.
   * @param t The default return value.
   *
   * @return null if the list is null or there is no first item.
   */
  public static <T> T getFirst( final List<T> list, final T t ) {
    return isEmpty( list ) ? t : list.get( 0 );
  }

  /**
   * Returns the last item in the given list, or t if not found.
   *
   * @param <T> The generic list type.
   * @param list The list that may have a last item.
   * @param t The default return value.
   *
   * @return null if the list is null or there is no last item.
   */
  public static <T> T getLast( final List<T> list, final T t ) {
    return isEmpty( list ) ? t : list.get( list.size() - 1 );
  }

  /**
   * Returns true if the given list is null or empty.
   *
   * @param <T> The generic list type.
   * @param list The list that has a last item.
   *
   * @return true The list is empty.
   */
  public static <T> boolean isEmpty( final List<T> list ) {
    return list == null || list.isEmpty();
  }
}

如果您有一个Spring项目，您也可以使用CollectionUtils。因此，您不需要添加额外的依赖项，如谷歌Guava。

它是空安全的，所以如果你传递null，你只会收到null返回。但是在处理响应时要小心。

下面是一些单元测试来演示它们:

@Test
void lastElementOfList() {
    var names = List.of("John", "Jane");

    var lastName = CollectionUtils.lastElement(names);

    then(lastName)
        .as("Expected Jane to be the last name in the list")
        .isEqualTo("Jane");
}

@Test
void lastElementOfSet() {
    var names = new TreeSet<>(Set.of("Jane", "John", "James"));

    var lastName = CollectionUtils.lastElement(names);

    then(lastName)
        .as("Expected John to be the last name in the list")
        .isEqualTo("John");
}

注意:org.assertj.core.api.BDDAssertions#then(java.lang.String)用于断言。

guava提供了另一种从List中获取最后一个元素的方法:

last = Lists.reverse(list).get(0)

如果提供的列表为空，则抛出IndexOutOfBoundsException异常
