How to make a new List in Java

Question

We create a Set as:

Set myset = new HashSet() 

How do we create a List in Java?

Answer 1

Additionally, if you want to create a list that has things in it (though it will be fixed size):

List<String> messages = Arrays.asList("Hello", "World!", "How", "Are", "You"); 

Answer 2

List myList = new ArrayList(); 

or with generics (Java 7 or later)

List<MyType> myList = new ArrayList<>(); 

or with generics (Old java versions)

List<MyType> myList = new ArrayList<MyType>();
