Manual array copy

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports manual copying of array contents that can be replaced with a call to System.arraycopy().

Example:

for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
  newArray[i] = array[i];
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

System.arraycopy(array, 0, newArray, 0, array.length);
