ArrayList 概述
ArrayList 可以理解为动态数组,用 MSDN 中的说法,就是 Array 的复杂版本。与 Java 中的数组相比,它的容量能动态增长。ArrayList 是 List 接口的可变数组的实现。实现了所有可选列表操作,并允许包括 null 在内的所有元素。除了实现 List 接口外,此类还提供一些方法来操作内部用来存储列表的数组的大小。(此类大致上等同于 Vector 类,除了此类是不同步的。)
每个 ArrayList 实例都有一个容量,该容量是指用来存储列表元素的数组的大小。它总是至少等于列表的大小。随着向 ArrayList 中不断添加元素,其容量也自动增长。自动增长会带来数据向新数组的重新拷贝,因此,如果可预知数据量的多少,可在构造 ArrayList 时指定其容量。在添加大量元素前,应用程序也可以使用 ensureCapacity 操作来增加 ArrayList 实例的容量,这可以减少递增式再分配的数量。
注意,此实现不是同步的。如果多个线程同时访问一个 ArrayList 实例,而其中至少一个线程从结构上修改了列表,那么它必须保持外部同步。(结构上的修改是指任何添加或删除一个或多个元素的操作,或者显式调整底层数组的大小;仅仅设置元素的值不是结构上的修改。)
我们先学习了解其内部的实现原理,才能更好的理解其应用。
ArrayList 的实现
对于 ArrayList 而言,它实现 List 接口、底层使用数组保存所有元素。其操作基本上是对数组的操作。下面我们来分析 ArrayList 的源代码:
实现的接口
public class ArrayList<E> extends AbstractList<E>
implements List<E>, RandomAccess, Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
{
}
ArrayList 继承了 AbstractList,实现了 List。它是一个数组队列,提供了相关的添加、删除、修改、遍历等功能。
ArrayList 实现了 RandmoAccess 接口,即提供了随机访问功能。RandmoAccess 是 java 中用来被 List 实现,为 List 提供快速访问功能的。在 ArrayList 中,我们即可以通过元素的序号快速获取元素对象;这就是快速随机访问。
ArrayList 实现了 Cloneable 接口,即覆盖了函数 clone(),能被克隆。 ArrayList 实现 java.io.Serializable 接口,这意味着 ArrayList 支持序列化,能通过序列化去传输。
底层使用数组实现
/**
* The array buffer into which the elements of the ArrayList are stored.
* The capacity of the ArrayList is the length of this array buffer.
*/
private transient Object[] elementData;
构造方法
/**
* Constructs an empty list with an initial capacity of ten.
*/
public ArrayList() {
this(10);
}
/**
* Constructs an empty list with the specified initial capacity.
*
* @param initialCapacity the initial capacity of the list
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if the specified initial capacity
* is negative
*/
public ArrayList(int initialCapacity) {
super();
if (initialCapacity < 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal Capacity: "+
initialCapacity);
this.elementData = new Object[initialCapacity];
}
/**
* Constructs a list containing the elements of the specified
* collection, in the order they are returned by the collection's
* iterator.
*
* @param c the collection whose elements are to be placed into this list
* @throws NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
*/
public ArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c) {
elementData = c.toArray();
size = elementData.length;
// c.toArray might (incorrectly) not return Object[] (see 6260652)
if (elementData.getClass() != Object[].class)
elementData = Arrays.copyOf(elementData, size, Object[].class);
}
ArrayList 提供了三种方式的构造器:
public ArrayList()
可以构造一个默认初始容量为10的空列表;public ArrayList(int initialCapacity)
构造一个指定初始容量的空列表;public ArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c)
构造一个包含指定 collection 的元素的列表,这些元素按照该collection的迭代器返回它们的顺序排列的。
存储
ArrayList 中提供了多种添加元素的方法,下面将一一进行讲解:
1.set(int index, E element):该方法首先调用rangeCheck(index)
来校验 index 变量是否超出数组范围,超出则抛出异常。而后,取出原 index 位置的值,并且将新的 element 放入 Index 位置,返回 oldValue。
/**
* Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with
* the specified element.
*
* @param index index of the element to replace
* @param element element to be stored at the specified position
* @return the element previously at the specified position
* @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
*/
public E set(int index, E element) {
rangeCheck(index);
E oldValue = elementData(index);
elementData[index] = element;
return oldValue;
}
/**
* Checks if the given index is in range. If not, throws an appropriate
* runtime exception. This method does *not* check if the index is
* negative: It is always used immediately prior to an array access,
* which throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if index is negative.
*/
private void rangeCheck(int index) {
if (index >= size)
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(outOfBoundsMsg(index));
}
2.add(E e):该方法是将指定的元素添加到列表的尾部。当容量不足时,会调用 grow 方法增长容量。
/**
* Appends the specified element to the end of this list.
*
* @param e element to be appended to this list
* @return <tt>true</tt> (as specified by {@link Collection#add})
*/
public boolean add(E e) {
ensureCapacityInternal(size + 1); // Increments modCount!!
elementData[size++] = e;
return true;
}
private void ensureCapacityInternal(int minCapacity) {
modCount++;
// overflow-conscious code
if (minCapacity - elementData.length > 0)
grow(minCapacity);
}
private void grow(int minCapacity) {
// overflow-conscious code
int oldCapacity = elementData.length;
int newCapacity = oldCapacity + (oldCapacity >> 1);
if (newCapacity - minCapacity < 0)
newCapacity = minCapacity;
if (newCapacity - MAX_ARRAY_SIZE > 0)
newCapacity = hugeCapacity(minCapacity);
// minCapacity is usually close to size, so this is a win:
elementData = Arrays.copyOf(elementData, newCapacity);
}
3.add(int index, E element):在 index 位置插入 element。
/**
* Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this
* list. Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and
* any subsequent elements to the right (adds one to their indices).
*
* @param index index at which the specified element is to be inserted
* @param element element to be inserted
* @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
*/
public void add(int index, E element) {
rangeCheckForAdd(index);
ensureCapacityInternal(size + 1); // Increments modCount!!
System.arraycopy(elementData, index, elementData, index + 1,
size - index);
elementData[index] = element;
size++;
}
4.addAll(Collection<? extends E> c)
和 addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c)
:将特定 Collection 中的元素添加到 Arraylist 末尾。
/**
* Appends all of the elements in the specified collection to the end of
* this list, in the order that they are returned by the
* specified collection's Iterator. The behavior of this operation is
* undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation
* is in progress. (This implies that the behavior of this call is
* undefined if the specified collection is this list, and this
* list is nonempty.)
*
* @param c collection containing elements to be added to this list
* @return <tt>true</tt> if this list changed as a result of the call
* @throws NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
*/
public boolean addAll(Collection<? extends E> c) {
Object[] a = c.toArray();
int numNew = a.length;
ensureCapacityInternal(size + numNew); // Increments modCount
System.arraycopy(a, 0, elementData, size, numNew);
size += numNew;
return numNew != 0;
}
/**
* Inserts all of the elements in the specified collection into this
* list, starting at the specified position. Shifts the element
* currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to
* the right (increases their indices). The new elements will appear
* in the list in the order that they are returned by the
* specified collection's iterator.
*
* @param index index at which to insert the first element from the
* specified collection
* @param c collection containing elements to be added to this list
* @return <tt>true</tt> if this list changed as a result of the call
* @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
* @throws NullPointerException if the specified collection is null
*/
public boolean addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c) {
rangeCheckForAdd(index);
Object[] a = c.toArray();
int numNew = a.length;
ensureCapacityInternal(size + numNew); // Increments modCount
int numMoved = size - index;
if (numMoved > 0)
System.arraycopy(elementData, index, elementData, index + numNew,
numMoved);
System.arraycopy(a, 0, elementData, index, numNew);
size += numNew;
return numNew != 0;
}
在 ArrayList 的存储方法,其核心本质是在数组的某个位置将元素添加进入。但其中又会涉及到关于数组容量不够而增长等因素。
读取
这个方法就比较简单了,ArrayList 能够支持随机访问的原因也是很显然的,因为它内部的数据结构是数组,而数组本身就是支持随机访问。该方法首先会判断输入的index值是否越界,然后将数组的 index 位置的元素返回即可。
/**
* Returns the element at the specified position in this list.
*
* @param index index of the element to return
* @return the element at the specified position in this list
* @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
*/
public E get(int index) {
rangeCheck(index);
return (E) elementData[index];
}
private void rangeCheck(int index) {
if (index >= size)
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(outOfBoundsMsg(index));
}
删除
ArrayList 提供了根据下标或者指定对象两种方式的删除功能。需要注意的是该方法的返回值并不相同,如下:
