Java – Convert Vector to ArrayList example

In last tutorial we shared how to convert Vector to Array. Here we are gonna see Vector to ArrayList conversion with example.

Example

In the below snippet we have a Vector of Strings and we are converting it to an ArrayList of Strings. The steps we followed in the below example are:
1) Created a Vector and populated it (We are assuming that Vector would be having String elements).
2) Converted the Vector to ArrayList by Declaring ArrayList object using Vector object.
ArrayList list = new ArrayList(vector);

Code:

import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class VectorToArrayList {
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 
     // Creating a Vector of String elements
     Vector<String> vector = new Vector<String>();
 
     // Populate Vector
     vector.add("Rahul");
     vector.add("Steve");
     vector.add("Jude");
     vector.add("Locke");
     vector.add("Mike");
     vector.add("Robert");
 
     //Displaying Vector elements
     for (String str : vector){
        System.out.println(str);
     }
 
     //Converting Vector to ArrayList
     ArrayList<String> arraylist = new ArrayList<String>(vector);
 
     //Displaying ArrayList Elements
     System.out.println("\nArrayList Elements :");
     for (String s : arraylist){
        System.out.println(s);
     }
  }
}

Output:

Rahul
Steve
Jude
Locke
Mike
Robert

ArrayList Elements :
Rahul
Steve
Jude
Locke
Mike
Robert
