adding objects to a ArrayList<String>

Question

I believe you can add objects use list.add(); However, is there an alternative way of making an ArrayList of strings? Something like ArrayList("heyey","hgfhgfh","fhfghgf") ?

List<String> listString = Arrays.asList(new String[] {"heyey","hgfhgfh","fhfghgf"});

With listString being a fixed size list (see Arrays.asList).

If you need a variable size list:

List<String> listString = new ArrayList<String<(Arrays.asList(new String[] {"heyey","hgfhgfh","fhfghgf"}));

List<String> strings = Arrays.asList("ohai", "I", "have", "varargs");

Or if you're kickin' it old school:

List strings = new ArrayList() {{
    add("ohai");
    add("Java 1.4");
    add("lives");
}};
