Does your class extend LinkedList? If so, here is what I would do:
java
public class MyLinkedList extends LinkedList<String> {
...
public MyLinkedList(String... array) {
super();
if (array != null && array.length > 0) {
for (String s : array) {
add(s);
}
}
}
...
}It isn't a great idea to extend LinkedList. If you want an easy way to create a new LinkedList with elements use the following method:
java
public static <E> LinkedList<E> newLinkedList(
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked") final E... elements) {
final LinkedList<E> list = new LinkedList<E>();
Collections.addAll(list, elements);
return list;
}
....
LinkedList<String> yourList = newLinkedList("foo", "bar", "baz");
