java create 2D array from Stream<Integer>

Question

I have Stream Stream<Integer> stream // 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

I need create int[3][3] from this stream

How can I do it?

I tried

int[][] ints = stream
            .map(i -> new int[]{i})
            .toArray(int[][]::new);

But I get: [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]]

But I need: [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

EDIT: I think it is not dublicate this because I need int[3][3] array and not String[][]

I tried this example

int[][] array =
            IntStream.range(0, 3)
                .mapToObj(x -> IntStream.range(0, 3).boxed()
                    .toArray(Integer[]::new))
                .toArray(int[][]::new);

And I get error

EDIT:

int[][] array = stream.collect(() -> new int[3][3],
            (a, i) -> a[(i - 1) / 3][(i - 1) % 3] = i, (a, i) -> {
            });

int[] values = new int[]{1, 2, 3,5,6,7,8,9,11};
Stream<Integer> integerStream = Arrays.stream(values).boxed();

Answer 1

You can try this code with Java 9 (this throws a compilation error in Java 8, so beware):

int[][] array = Stream.iterate(1, i -> i < 10, i -> i + 1).collect(() -> new int[3][3],
        (a, i) -> a[(i - 1) / 3][(i - 1) % 3] = i, (a, i) -> {});
Stream.of(array).forEach(a -> System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a)));

Here is the result:

[1, 2, 3]
[4, 5, 6]
[7, 8, 9]

With Java 8:

int[][] array = IntStream.range(1, 10).collect(() -> new int[3][3],
    (a, i) -> a[(i - 1) / 3][(i - 1) % 3] = i, (a, i) -> {});
Stream.of(array).forEach(a -> System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a)));

Here is another solution which supports numbers other than the pre-defined sequence (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9), but is not that clean as a solution as it uses a counter array:

int[] counter = {0};
int[][] array = Stream.of(4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 8, 11).collect(() -> new int[3][3],
        (a, i) -> {
            a[counter[0] / 3][counter[0] % 3] = i;
            counter[0]++;
        }, (a, i) -> {});

Output:

[4, 2, 3]
[4, 5, 8]
[9, 8, 11]

If you want a bit more generic solution based on the solution above you can try this code snippet which allows to set a variable number of columns:

List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, 32, 45, 89, 91, 91, 98, 87);
int[] counter = {0};
int cols = 5;
int rows = (int) Math.ceil(list.size() / cols) + 1;
int[][] array = list.stream().collect(() -> new int[rows][cols],
        (a, i) -> a[counter[0] / cols][counter[0]++ % cols] = i, (a, i) -> {});
Stream.of(array).forEach(a -> System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a)));

The snippet above prints:

[4, 2, 3, 4, 5]
[8, 9, 8, 11, 12]
[13, 17, 32, 45, 89]
[91, 91, 98, 87, 0]
