Arrays.asList()生成的对象不能执行add()的操作

之前项目上，有使用 Arrays.asList() 创建一个List集合，并在后续的操作中使用之前创建的List集合继续 add() 添加元素。

List<String> list = Arrays.asList("one", "two", "three");
list.add("five");

运行项目却在 list.add("five"); 处报错：

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
	at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:148)
	at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:108)
	...

网上搜索资料得知， Arrays.asList() 生成的 ArrayList 对象是 Arrays 自己的内部类对象

/**
 * Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array.  (Changes to
 * the returned list "write through" to the array.)  This method acts
 * as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs, in
 * combination with {@link Collection#toArray}.  The returned list is
 * serializable and implements {@link RandomAccess}.
 *
 * <p>This method also provides a convenient way to create a fixed-size
 * list initialized to contain several elements:
 * <pre>
 *     List&lt;String&gt; stooges = Arrays.asList("Larry", "Moe", "Curly");
 * </pre>
 *
 * @param <T> the class of the objects in the array
 * @param a the array by which the list will be backed
 * @return a list view of the specified array

ArrayList 继承自 AbstractList，而 AbstractList 的 add() 方法抛出 UnsupportedOperationException 异常。

/**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     *
     * <p>This implementation always throws an
     * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
     *
     * @throws UnsupportedOperationException {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws ClassCastException            {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws NullPointerException          {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException      {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException     {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public void add(int index, E element) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }

当然，AbstractList 的 remove() 方法也是一样的

/**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     *
     * <p>This implementation always throws an
     * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
     *
     * @throws UnsupportedOperationException {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException     {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public E remove(int index) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }

所以也可以使用其他方式创建List集合对象

方法1：

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList("a", "b"));

方法2：

List<String> list = Stream.of("str1", "str2").collect(Collectors.toList());
