来自common -collections的IteratorUtils可能会有所帮助(尽管它们在最新的稳定版本3.2.1中不支持泛型):

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Collection<Type> list = IteratorUtils.toList(iterable.iterator());

4.0版本(目前在SNAPSHOT中)支持泛型，您可以去掉@SuppressWarnings。

更新:检查IterableAsList从仙人掌。

Java 8使用Java .util.stream的简洁解决方案:

public static <T> List<T> toList(final Iterable<T> iterable) {
    return StreamSupport.stream(iterable.spliterator(), false)
                        .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

从Java 16开始，你可以使用Stream.toList():

public static <T> List<T> toList(final Iterable<T> iterable) {
    return StreamSupport.stream(iterable.spliterator(), false)
                        .toList();
}

您可以使用Eclipse Collections工厂:

Iterable<String> iterable = Arrays.asList("1", "2", "3");

MutableList<String> list = Lists.mutable.withAll(iterable);
MutableSet<String> set = Sets.mutable.withAll(iterable);
MutableSortedSet<String> sortedSet = SortedSets.mutable.withAll(iterable);
MutableBag<String> bag = Bags.mutable.withAll(iterable);
MutableSortedBag<String> sortedBag = SortedBags.mutable.withAll(iterable);

您还可以将Iterable转换为LazyIterable，并使用转换器方法或任何其他可用的api。

Iterable<String> iterable = Arrays.asList("1", "2", "3");
LazyIterable<String> lazy = LazyIterate.adapt(iterable);

MutableList<String> list = lazy.toList();
MutableSet<String> set = lazy.toSet();
MutableSortedSet<String> sortedSet = lazy.toSortedSet();
MutableBag<String> bag = lazy.toBag();
MutableSortedBag<String> sortedBag = lazy.toSortedBag();

以上所有可变类型都扩展了java.util.Collection。

注意:我是Eclipse Collections的提交者。

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。

两个评论

There is no need to convert Iterable to Collection to use foreach loop - Iterable may be used in such loop directly, there is no syntactical difference, so I hardly understand why the original question was asked at all. Suggested way to convert Iterable to Collection is unsafe (the same relates to CollectionUtils) - there is no guarantee that subsequent calls to the next() method return different object instances. Moreover, this concern is not pure theoretical. E.g. Iterable implementation used to pass values to a reduce method of Hadoop Reducer always returns the same value instance, just with different field values. So if you apply makeCollection from above (or CollectionUtils.addAll(Iterator)) you will end up with a collection with all identical elements.
