How to add all items in a String array to a vector in Java?

java string arrays vector add
Frank picture Frank · Mar 5, 2010 · Viewed 42.3k times · Source

My code looks like this :

Vector<String> My_Vector=new Vector<String>();
String My_Array[]=new String[100];

for (int i=0;i<100;i++) My_Array[i]="Item_"+i;
......
My_Vector.addAll(My_Array);

But I got an error message, what's the right way to do it, without looping to add each item ?

Collections.addAll(myVector, myArray);

This is the preferred way to add the contents of an array into a collection (such as a vector).

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Collections.html#addAll-java.util.Collection-T...-

Adds all of the specified elements to the specified collection. Elements to be added may be specified individually or as an array. The behavior of this convenience method is identical to that of c.addAll(Arrays.asList(elements)), but this method is likely to run significantly faster under most implementations.
