Add multiple items to an already initialized arraylist in Java

by

If you have another list that contains all the items you would like to add you can do arList.addAll(otherList). Alternatively, if you will always add the same elements to the list you could create a new list that is initialized to contain all your values and use the addAll() method, with something like 

Integer[] otherList = new Integer[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
arList.addAll(Arrays.asList(otherList));

or, if you don’t want to create that unnecessary array:

arList.addAll(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5));

Otherwise you will have to have some sort of loop that adds the values to the list individually.
