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。

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);
    }
}

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.

因为RxJava是一个锤子，而这个看起来像钉子，你可以这样做

Observable.from(iterable).toList().toBlocking().single();

试试Cactoos的StickyList:

List<String> list = new StickyList<>(iterable);

有点晚了，但我创建了一个非常优雅的Java 8解决方案，允许将T的Iterable转换为T的任何集合，而不需要任何库:

public static <T, C extends Collection<T>> C toCollection(Iterable<T> iterable, Supplier<C> baseSupplier) 
{
    C collection = baseSupplier.get();
    
    iterable.forEach(collection::add);
    
    return collection;
}

使用的例子:

Iterable<String> iterable = ...;
List<String> list = toCollection(iterable, ArrayList::new);
