Arrays.asList() not working as it should?
Apparently the return type of Arrays.asList(new int[] { 1, 2, 3 });
is List<int[]>
. This seems totally broken to me. Does this have something to do with Java not autoboxing arrays of primitive types?
The problem is that Arrays.asList
takes a parameter of T... array
. The only applicable T
when you pass the int[]
is int[]
, as arrays of primitives will not be autoboxed to arrays of the corresponding object type (in this case Integer[]
).
So you can do Arrays.asList(new Integer[] {1, 2, 3});
.
Try:
Arrays.asList(new Integer[] { 1, 2, 3 });
Note Integer instead of int. Collections can contain only objects. No primitive types are allowed. int
is not an object, but int[]
is, so this is why you get list with one element.
