//simple example creating a list form a string array

String[] myStrings = new String[] {"Elem1","Elem2","Elem3","Elem4","Elem5"};

List mylist = Arrays.asList(myStrings );

//getting an iterator object to browse list items

Iterator itr= mylist.iterator();

System.out.println("Displaying List Elements,");

while(itr.hasNext())

  System.out.println(itr.next());

就像java中数组列表的声明一样

public class ArrayList<E> extends AbstractList<E> implements List<E>, RandomAccess, Cloneable, Serializable  

有许多方法可以在java中创建和初始化数组列表。

 1) List list = new ArrayList();

 2) List<type> myList = new ArrayList<>();

 3) List<type> myList = new ArrayList<type>();

 4) Using Utility class

    List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(8, 4);
    Collections.unmodifiableList(Arrays.asList("a", "b", "c"));

 5) Using static factory method

    List<Integer> immutableList = List.of(1, 2);


 6) Creation and initializing at a time

    List<String> fixedSizeList = Arrays.asList(new String[] {"Male", "Female"});



 Again you can create different types of list. All has their own characteristics

 List a = new ArrayList();
 List b = new LinkedList();
 List c = new Vector(); 
 List d = new Stack(); 
 List e = new CopyOnWriteArrayList();

先读这个，再读这个和这个。十有八九你会使用这两种实现之一。

事实上，只需阅读Sun的集合框架指南即可。

List myList = new ArrayList();

或使用泛型(Java 7或更高版本)

List<MyType> myList = new ArrayList<>();

或使用泛型(旧java版本)

List<MyType> myList = new ArrayList<MyType>();

List list = new ArrayList();

或者使用泛型

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

当然，你也可以用任何类型的变量替换字符串，比如Integer。

List<Object> nameOfList = new ArrayList<Object>();

需要导入“List”和“ArrayList”。
