        Returns an immutable list containing the given elements, in order.

        Despite the method name, this method attempts to avoid actually copying the data when it is safe to do so. The exact circumstances under which a copy will or will not be performed are undocumented and subject to change.

        Note that if list is a List<String>, then ImmutableList.copyOf(list) returns an ImmutableList<String> containing each of the strings in list, while ImmutableList.of(list) returns an ImmutableList<List<String>> containing one element (the given list itself).

        This method is safe to use even when elements is a synchronized or concurrent collection that is currently being modified by another thread.

        Returns an immutable list containing the given elements, sorted according to their natural order. The sorting algorithm used is stable, so elements that compare as equal will stay in the order in which they appear in the input.

        If your data has no duplicates, or you wish to deduplicate elements, use ImmutableSortedSet.copyOf(elements); if you want a List you can use its asList() view.

        java.lang.NullPointerException - if any element in the input is null

      • iterator

        public UnmodifiableIterator<Eiterator()
        Description copied from class: ImmutableCollection
        Returns an unmodifiable iterator across the elements in this collection.

                                        int toIndex)
        Returns an immutable list of the elements between the specified fromIndex, inclusive, and toIndex, exclusive. (If fromIndex and toIndex are equal, the empty immutable list is returned.)

        Note: in almost all circumstances, the returned ImmutableList retains a strong reference to this, which may prevent the original list from being garbage collected. If you want the original list to be eligible for garbage collection, you should create and use a copy of the sub list (e.g., ImmutableList.copyOf(originalList.subList(...))).

      • builderWithExpectedSize

        public static <E> ImmutableList.Builder<E> builderWithExpectedSize​(int expectedSize)
        Returns a new builder, expecting the specified number of elements to be added.

        If expectedSize is exactly the number of elements added to the builder before ImmutableList.Builder.build() is called, the builder is likely to perform better than an unsized builder() would have.

        It is not specified if any performance benefits apply if expectedSize is close to, but not exactly, the number of elements added to the builder.
