You can use Arrays.asList to get some list (not necessarily ArrayList) and then use addAll() to add it to an ArrayList:
new ArrayList<Double>().addAll(Arrays.asList(1.38L, 2.56L, 4.3L));
If you're using Java6 (or higher) you can also use the ArrayList constructor that takes another list:
new ArrayList<Double>(Arrays.asList(1.38L, 2.56L, 4.3L));
