Splits an array in multiple arrays with a fixed maximum size.
public static <T extends Object> List<T[]> splitArray(T[] array, int max){
int x = array.length / max;
int r = (array.length % max); // remainder
int lower = 0;
int upper = 0;
List<T[]> list = new ArrayList<T[]>();
int i=0;
for(i=0; i<x; i++){
upper += max;
list.add(Arrays.copyOfRange(array, lower, upper));
lower = upper;
}
if(r > 0){
list.add(Arrays.copyOfRange(array, lower, (lower + r)));
}
return list;
}
Example - an Array of 11 shall be splitted into multiple Arrays not exceeding a size of 5:
// create and populate an array
Integer[] arr = new Integer[11];
for(int i=0; i<arr.length; i++){
arr[i] = i;
}
// split into pieces with a max. size of 5
List<Integer[]> list = ArrayUtil.splitArray(arr, 5);
// check
for(int i=0; i<list.size(); i++){
System.out.println("Array " + i);
for(int j=0; j<list.get(i).length; j++){
System.out.println(" " + list.get(i)[j]);
}
}
Output:
Array 0
0
1
2
3
4
Array 1
5
6
7
8
9
Array 2
10
