java: how to addAll(Collection<>) to the front of the queue?

Question

public void traverse(Node root){
    ArrayDeque<Node> queue = new ArrayDeque<Node>();
        queue.add(root);

    while(!queue.isEmpty()){
        Node currentNode = queue.pollFirst();   
        List<Node> nl = getChildrenfromDB(currentNode);
        queue.addAll(nl);
    }

how would I get addAll(nl) to add the entire collection(List<Node>) to the front of the queue?

Answer 1

Actually I was looking for the same thing, and this worked for me!!

samplelist.addAll(0,items); // 0 is the index where items are added on the list
