从CollectionUtils:

List<T> targetCollection = new ArrayList<T>();
CollectionUtils.addAll(targetCollection, iterable.iterator())

下面是这个实用方法的完整源代码:

public static <T> void addAll(Collection<T> collection, Iterator<T> iterator) {
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        collection.add(iterator.next());
    }
}

你也可以编写自己的实用方法:

public static <E> Collection<E> makeCollection(Iterable<E> iter) {
    Collection<E> list = new ArrayList<E>();
    for (E item : iter) {
        list.add(item);
    }
    return list;
}

With Guava you can use Lists.newArrayList(Iterable) or Sets.newHashSet(Iterable), among other similar methods. This will of course copy all the elements in to memory. If that isn't acceptable, I think your code that works with these ought to take Iterable rather than Collection. Guava also happens to provide convenient methods for doing things you can do on a Collection using an Iterable (such as Iterables.isEmpty(Iterable) or Iterables.contains(Iterable, Object)), but the performance implications are more obvious.

我在试图获取项目列表时遇到了类似的情况，而不是在CrudRepository接口中声明的默认Iterable<T> findAll()。因此，在我的ProjectRepository接口(从CrudRepository扩展而来)中，我简单地声明了findAll()方法来返回一个List<Project>而不是Iterable<Project>。

package com.example.projectmanagement.dao;

import com.example.projectmanagement.entities.Project;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;
import java.util.List;

public interface ProjectRepository extends CrudRepository<Project, Long> {

    @Override
    List<Project> findAll();
}

我认为这是最简单的解决方案，不需要转换逻辑或使用外部库。

我使用我的自定义实用程序强制转换现有的集合(如果可用)。

主要:

public static <T> Collection<T> toCollection(Iterable<T> iterable) {
    if (iterable instanceof Collection) {
        return (Collection<T>) iterable;
    } else {
        return Lists.newArrayList(iterable);
    }
}

理想情况下，上面将使用immutabelist，但ImmutableCollection不允许空值，这可能会产生不希望看到的结果。

测试:

@Test
public void testToCollectionAlreadyCollection() {
    ArrayList<String> list = Lists.newArrayList(FIRST, MIDDLE, LAST);
    assertSame("no need to change, just cast", list, toCollection(list));
}

@Test
public void testIterableToCollection() {
    final ArrayList<String> expected = Lists.newArrayList(FIRST, null, MIDDLE, LAST);

    Collection<String> collection = toCollection(new Iterable<String>() {
        @Override
        public Iterator<String> iterator() {
            return expected.iterator();
        }
    });
    assertNotSame("a new list must have been created", expected, collection);
    assertTrue(expected + " != " + collection, CollectionUtils.isEqualCollection(expected, collection));
}

我为集合的所有子类型(Set,List等)实现了类似的实用程序。我以为这些已经是番石榴的一部分了，但我还没找到。

下面是一个在Java 8中实现这一功能的SSCCE

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;

public class IterableToCollection {
    public interface CollectionFactory <T, U extends Collection<T>> {
        U createCollection();
    }

    public static <T, U extends Collection<T>> U collect(Iterable<T> iterable, CollectionFactory<T, U> factory) {
        U collection = factory.createCollection();
        iterable.forEach(collection::add);
        return collection;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Iterable<Integer> iterable = IntStream.range(0, 5).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
        ArrayList<Integer> arrayList = collect(iterable, ArrayList::new);
        HashSet<Integer> hashSet = collect(iterable, HashSet::new);
        LinkedList<Integer> linkedList = collect(iterable, LinkedList::new);
    }
}
