Try this

tempList.addAll(Arrays.asList(temp));

use following 

List<File>tempList = Arrays.asList(temp);

You can iterate through the array and add each element to the list.

for (File each : temp)
  tempList.add(each);

You can use a collections library call for this:

Arrays.asList(temp);

If you are not going to update the content of the array (add/removing element), it can be as simple as

List<File> tempList = Arrays.asList(temp);

Of course, if you want a list that you can further manipulate, you can still do something like

List<File> tempList = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(temp));
