How to convert ArrayList to HashSet and Set to Array in Java examples




  • Program/Example 1.1 to convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 7 or before
  • Program/Example 1.2 to convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 7 or before


  • Program/Example 2.1 to convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 8
  • Program/Example 2.2 to convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 8



1. How to convert  Map to List in java 7 or before>

Program/Example 1.1 to convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 7 or before

map.keySet() method returns a Set which contains all the keys in the map.

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
public class ConvertMapKeysToListExample {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
          Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
          map.put(1, "audi");
          map.put(2, "bmw");
          map.put(3, "ferrari");
         
          //convert keys in map to ArrayList
          //by passing keys in map in constructor of ArrayList
          List<Integer> arrayList = new ArrayList<Integer>(map.keySet());
          System.out.println("arrayList containing keys in map = "+arrayList);   
   }
}
/*OUTPUT
arrayList containing keys in map = [1, 2, 3]
*/

Program/Example 1.2 to convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 7 or before

map.values() method returns a Collection which contains all the values in the map.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
public class ConvertMapValuesToListExample {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
          Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
          map.put(1, "audi");
          map.put(2, "bmw");
          map.put(3, "ferrari");
         
          //convert values in map to ArrayList
          //by passing values in map in constructor of ArrayList
          List<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>(map.values());
          System.out.println("arrayList containing values in map = "+arrayList);        
   }
}
/*OUTPUT
arrayList containing values in map = [audi, bmw, ferrari]
*/

2. How to convert  Map to List in java 8 >

Program/Example 2.1 to convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 8

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class ConvertMapKeysToListJava8Example {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
          Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
          map.put(1, "audi");
          map.put(2, "bmw");
          map.put(3, "ferrari");
         
          //convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 8 using streams
          List<Object> list = map.keySet().stream().collect(Collectors.toList());
          System.out.println("arrayList containing keys in map = "+list);
         
   }
}
/*OUTPUT
arrayList containing keys in map = [1, 2, 3]
*/


Program/Example 2.2 to convert keys in map to ArrayList in java 8

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class ConvertMapValuesToListJava8Example {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
          Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
          map.put(1, "audi");
          map.put(2, "bmw");
          map.put(3, "ferrari");
         
          //convert keys in values to ArrayList in java 8 using streams
          List<Object> list = map.values().stream().collect(Collectors.toList());
          System.out.println("arrayList containing values in map = "+list);
         
   }
}
/*OUTPUT
arrayList containing keys in map = [1, 2, 3]
*/
