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());
    }
}

我经常使用fluentiatable .from(myIterable). tolist()。

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.

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;
}

尽管如此，不要忘记所有的集合都是有限的，而Iterable没有任何承诺。如果某个东西是Iterable，你可以得到一个Iterator，就是这样。

for (piece : sthIterable){
..........
}

将扩大到:

Iterator it = sthIterable.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()){
    piece = it.next();
..........
}

it.hasNext()不需要返回false。因此，在一般情况下，您不能期望能够将每个Iterable转换为一个集合。例如，你可以遍历所有正自然数，遍历带有循环的东西，反复产生相同的结果，等等。

除此之外:Atrey的回答很好。

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。
