how to use addall() method of collections?

Question

i need to use it to merge two ordered list of objects.

Answer 1

From the API:

addAll(Collection<? extends E> c): Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this collection (optional operation).

Here's an example using List, which is an ordered collection:

    List<Integer> nums1 = Arrays.asList(1,2,-1);
    List<Integer> nums2 = Arrays.asList(4,5,6);

    List<Integer> allNums = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    allNums.addAll(nums1);
    allNums.addAll(nums2);
    System.out.println(allNums);
    // prints "[1, 2, -1, 4, 5, 6]"

On int[] vs Integer[]

While int is autoboxable to Integer, an int[] is NOT "autoboxable" to Integer[].

Thus, you get the following behaviors:

    List<Integer> nums = Arrays.asList(1,2,3);
    int[] arr = { 1, 2, 3 };
    List<int[]> arrs = Arrays.asList(arr);

Answer 2

Collection all = new HashList();
all.addAll(list1);
all.addAll(list2);

Answer 3

I m coding some android, and i found this to be extremely short and handy:

    card1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card1);
    card2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card2);
    card3 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card3);
    card4 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card4);
    card5 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card5);

    card_list = new ArrayList<>();
    card_list.addAll(Arrays.asList(card1,card2,card3,card4,card5));

Versus this standard way i used to employ:

    card1 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card1);
    card2 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card2);
    card3 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card3);
    card4 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card4);
    card5 = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.card5);

    card_list = new ArrayList<>();
    card_list.add(card1) ;
    card_list.add(card2) ;
    card_list.add(card3) ;
    card_list.add(card4) ;
    card_list.add(card5) ;
