How do I add the sublists I've made with a for loop to an ArrayList? Considering the number of sublists could potentially be hundreds, or even thousands. I know the code below is a no go, since the addAll need to have a list as a parameter, but it's the kinda thing I'm after.
List<Integer> list1 = arrayList.subList(0, 3);
List<Integer> list2 = arrayList.subList(3, 6);
List<Integer> list3 = arrayList.subList(6, 9);
ArrayList<Integer> newArray = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
String listNum = "list" + i;
newArray.addAll(listNum);
}
You cannot "address" a local variable by index - you need an array for that:
List<Integer>[] list = new List<Integer>[] {
arrayList.subList(0, 3)
, arrayList.subList(3, 6)
, arrayList.subList(6, 9)
};
ArrayList<Integer> newArray = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
newArray.addAll(list.get(i));
}
In your specific example you can construct sublist on the fly, without storing them in an array:
ArrayList<Integer> newArray = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
newArray.addAll(arrayList.subList(3*i, 3*(i+1)));
}
