Kotlin - Most idiomatic way to convert a List to a MutableList

I have a method (getContacts) that returns a List<Contact> and I need to convert this result to a MutableList<Contact>. Currently the best way I can think of doing it is like this:

val contacts: MutableList<Contact> = ArrayList(presenter.getContacts())

Is there a more idiomatic/"less Java" way to do that?

Consider using the toMutableList() function:

presenter.getContacts().toMutableList()

There are toMutableList() extensions for the stdlib types that one might want to convert to a mutable list: Collection<T>, Iterable<T>, Sequence<T>, CharSequence, Array<T> and primitive arrays.

If you only wants ArrayList, you can create your own Kotlin extension.

fun <T> List<T>.toArrayList(): ArrayList<T>{
return ArrayList(this)
}

Then you can use it in your application like

myList.toArrayList()

Simple and easy

You can also use toTypedArray() if you want to convert a List or MutableList to Array

/**
* Returns a *typed* array containing all of the elements of this collection.
*
* Allocates an array of runtime type `T` having its size equal to the size of this collection
* and populates the array with the elements of this collection.
* @sample samples.collections.Collections.Collections.collectionToTypedArray
*/
@Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
public actual inline fun <reified T> Collection<T>.toTypedArray(): Array<T> {
@Suppress("PLATFORM_CLASS_MAPPED_TO_KOTLIN")
val thisCollection = this as java.util.Collection<T>
return thisCollection.toArray(arrayOfNulls<T>(0)) as Array<T>
}

Example

myMutableList.toTypedArray()
