在我的应用程序中,我使用第三方库(Spring Data for MongoDB准确地说)。
这个库的方法返回Iterable<T>,而我的其余代码期望Collection<T>。
有没有什么实用的方法可以让我快速地把一个转换成另一个?为了这么简单的事情,我希望避免在代码中创建一堆foreach循环。

With Guava you can use Lists.newArrayList(Iterable) or Sets.newHashSet(Iterable), among other similar methods. This will of course copy all the elements in to memory. If that isn't acceptable, I think your code that works with these ought to take Iterable rather than Collection. Guava also happens to provide convenient methods for doing things you can do on a Collection using an Iterable (such as Iterables.isEmpty(Iterable) or Iterables.contains(Iterable, Object)), but the performance implications are more obvious.
其他回答
我在试图获取项目列表时遇到了类似的情况,而不是在CrudRepository接口中声明的默认Iterable<T> findAll()。因此,在我的ProjectRepository接口(从CrudRepository扩展而来)中,我简单地声明了findAll()方法来返回一个List<Project>而不是Iterable<Project>。
package com.example.projectmanagement.dao;
import com.example.projectmanagement.entities.Project;
import org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository;
import java.util.List;
public interface ProjectRepository extends CrudRepository<Project, Long> {
@Override
List<Project> findAll();
}
我认为这是最简单的解决方案,不需要转换逻辑或使用外部库。

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;
}
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。
这不是对你问题的回答,但我相信这是解决你问题的办法。org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository接口确实有返回java.lang.Iterable的方法,但是你不应该使用这个接口。而是使用子接口,在你的例子中是org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository。该接口具有返回java.util.List类型对象的方法。
