This example demonstrates how to create an ArrayList from another ArrayList in Java.

Create ArrayList from Another ArrayList in Java

This example demonstrates the following operations:
  • Create an ArrayList from another collection using the ArrayList(Collection c) constructor.
  • Adding all the elements from an existing collection to the new ArrayList using the addAll() method.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class CreateArrayListFromCollectionExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Integer> firstFivePrimeNumbers = new ArrayList<>();
        firstFivePrimeNumbers.add(2);
        firstFivePrimeNumbers.add(3);
        firstFivePrimeNumbers.add(5);
        firstFivePrimeNumbers.add(7);
        firstFivePrimeNumbers.add(11);

        // Creating an ArrayList from another collection
        List<Integer> firstTenPrimeNumbers = new ArrayList<>(firstFivePrimeNumbers);


        List<Integer> nextFivePrimeNumbers = new ArrayList<>();
        nextFivePrimeNumbers.add(13);
        nextFivePrimeNumbers.add(17);
        nextFivePrimeNumbers.add(19);
        nextFivePrimeNumbers.add(23);
        nextFivePrimeNumbers.add(29);

        // Adding an entire collection to an ArrayList
        firstTenPrimeNumbers.addAll(nextFivePrimeNumbers);

        System.out.println(firstTenPrimeNumbers);
    }
}

Output

[2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29]
