下面是一个Java 8的单行代码:

public int[] toIntArray(List<Integer> intList){
    return intList.stream().mapToInt(Integer::intValue).toArray();
}

在Java 8中添加流后，我们可以编写如下代码:

int[] example1 = list.stream().mapToInt(i->i).toArray();
// OR
int[] example2 = list.stream().mapToInt(Integer::intValue).toArray();

思维过程:

The simple Stream#toArray returns an Object[] array, so it is not what we want. Also, Stream#toArray(IntFunction<A[]> generator) doesn't do what we want, because the generic type A can't represent the primitive type int So it would be nice to have some stream which could handle the primitive type int instead of the wrapper Integer, because its toArray method will most likely also return an int[] array (returning something else like Object[] or even boxed Integer[] would be unnatural here). And fortunately Java 8 has such a stream which is IntStream So now the only thing we need to figure out is how to convert our Stream<Integer> (which will be returned from list.stream()) to that shiny IntStream. Quick searching in documentation of Stream while looking for methods which return IntStream points us to our solution which is mapToInt(ToIntFunction<? super T> mapper) method. All we need to do is provide a mapping from Integer to int. Since ToIntFunction is functional interface we can provide its instance via lambda or method reference. Anyway to convert Integer to int we can use Integer#intValue so inside mapToInt we can write: mapToInt( (Integer i) -> i.intValue() ) (or some may prefer: mapToInt(Integer::intValue).) But similar code can be generated using unboxing, since the compiler knows that the result of this lambda must be of type int (the lambda used in mapToInt is an implementation of the ToIntFunction interface which expects as body a method of type: int applyAsInt(T value) which is expected to return an int). So we can simply write: mapToInt((Integer i)->i) Also, since the Integer type in (Integer i) can be inferred by the compiler because List<Integer>#stream() returns a Stream<Integer>, we can also skip it which leaves us with mapToInt(i -> i)

Use:

int[] toIntArray(List<Integer> list)  {
    int[] ret = new int[list.size()];
    int i = 0;
    for (Integer e : list)
        ret[i++] = e;
    return ret;
}

对代码的这一轻微更改是为了避免昂贵的列表索引(因为list不一定是ArrayList，但它可以是链表，对于链表，随机访问是昂贵的)。

最简单的方法是使用Apache Commons Lang。它有一个方便的ArrayUtils类，可以做任何您想做的事情。将toPrimitive方法与整数数组的重载一起使用。

List<Integer> myList;
 ... assign and fill the list
int[] intArray = ArrayUtils.toPrimitive(myList.toArray(new Integer[myList.size()]));

这样你就不用白费力气了。Commons Lang有很多Java遗漏的有用的东西。上面，我选择创建一个大小合适的Integer列表。你也可以使用一个0长度的静态Integer数组，让Java分配一个合适大小的数组:

static final Integer[] NO_INTS = new Integer[0];
   ....
int[] intArray2 = ArrayUtils.toPrimitive(myList.toArray(NO_INTS));

除了Commons Lang，你还可以使用Guava的方法Ints。toArray(收集<整数>收集):

List<Integer> list = ...
int[] ints = Ints.toArray(list);

这使您不必自己进行Commons Lang对等物要求的中间数组转换。

我注意到for循环的一些用法，但是在循环中甚至不需要任何东西。我提到这一点只是因为最初的问题是试图找到不那么冗长的代码。

int[] toArray(List<Integer> list) {
    int[] ret = new int[ list.size() ];
    int i = 0;
    for( Iterator<Integer> it = list.iterator();
         it.hasNext();
         ret[i++] = it.next() );
    return ret;
}

如果Java像c++那样允许在for循环中多次声明，我们可以更进一步，执行for(int i = 0, Iterator it…

最后(这部分只是我的观点)，如果你想要有一个帮助函数或方法来为你做一些事情，那就把它设置好，然后忘记它。它可以是一行或十条;如果你再也不看它，你就不会知道其中的区别。
