Quick Tip — How to convert a Java List to a Java String
Hello ! I’m Xavier Jouvenot and in this small post, I am going to explain how to convert a Java List<Integer> to a Java String.
Self promotion: You can find other articles on Android development on my website 😉
Solution
For the people who only want the solution, to quickly copy-paste it in there code, here it is 😉
List<Integer> my_list; // some code to fill the list ...
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < my_list.size(); ++i) {
sb.append(my_list.get(i));
if(i != my_list.size() - 1) {
sb.append(", ");
}
}String s = sb.toString();
Explanation
If you read this, it may be that you want to understand how the previous solution achieve the goal of transforming the List<Integer> into a String, and this is what I am going to try to explain. 🙂
First of all, we create the list and fill it with whatever integer you want. And we create a StringBuilder which is going to help us doing the transformation.
Then, we transfer the information from the List<Integer> to the StringBuilder and format it how we want to. In our case, we are separating the each numbers of the list with a comma and a space.
Finally, we create a String with all the information we want, by using the method toString of StringBuilder.
Thank you all for reading this article, And until my next article, have a splendid day 😉
