Copy Elements of ArrayList to Java Vector Example
This java example shows how to copy elements of Java ArrayList to Java Vector using
copy method of Collections class.

//Add elements to Arraylist
arrayList.add("1");

//create a Vector object
Vector v = new Vector();
//Add elements to Vector

/*
To copy elements of Java ArrayList to Java Vector use,
static void copy(List dstList, List sourceList) method of Collections class.
This method copies all elements of source list to destination list. After copy
index of the elements in both source and destination lists would be identical.
The destination list must be long enough to hold all copied elements. If it is
longer than that, the rest of the destination list's elments would remain
unaffected.
*/
System.out.println("Before copy, Vector Contains : " + v);
//copy all elements of ArrayList to Vector using copy method of Collections class
Collections.copy(v,arrayList);
/*
Please note that, If Vector is not long enough to hold all elements of
ArrayList, it throws IndexOutOfBoundsException.
*/
System.out.println("After Copy, Vector Contains : " + v);
}
}
/*
Output would be
Before copy Vector Contains : [A, B, D, E, F, G, H]
After Copy Vector Contains : [1, 4, 2, 5, 3, G, H]
