Converting array to list and list to array in Java

I don’t understand why I can’t keep in mind these simple methods.
Last months I used them very often,these methods are very useful.Today I had simple task and I searched in the internet these methods because I couldn’t recollect them.
I am going to show simple example where I will use these methods. After this post I will know where I can find them if they will need. Okay.

How to convert array to the list?
Need to use asList static method in Arrays class.

How to convert list to the array?
Need to use toArray method from List

Example:

import java.util.Arrays;import java.util.List;public class Main{ public static void main(String[] args){ String[] arrayItems = new String[3]; arrayItems[0] = "Oleg"; arrayItems[1] = "Mazurashu"; arrayItems[2] = "FaYnaSoft Labs"; List<String>list = Arrays.asList(arrayItems); System.out.println("list item 5:" + list.get(2)); String[] newArray = new String[list.size()]; list.toArray(newArray); System.out.println("array item 5:" + newArray[2]); }}

It is very simple example. Here I create array with some String objects.
After I convert array to the list:

List<String>list = Arrays.asList(arrayItems);

And then I convert list to the array:

String[] newArray = new String[list.size()];list.toArray(newArray);

These operations are very simple and useful.

I hope after this post I will not forget these very useful methods
