The first thing you should do every time you have a question about Java is read the documentation. In this case, you would google ["_java 7 Arrays_"](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html) and look for the _asList()_ method. The answer to most questions is in the first sentence. – jahroy Jun 19 '13 at 07:15

Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array
Thus, You can't add/remove elements to/from it.
To overcome this problem, you can do:
List modifiableList = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(array));

If you want to remove some Object from List of objects its quite analogical way to do it directly. You need to use Iterator.
List<Integer> l = new ArrayLIst<>(); // or List<Integer> l = new ArrayLIst<Integer>();
Iterator<Integer> iter = l.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
if (iter.next().intValue() == 5) {
iter.remove();
}
}
