Split List into Smaller Lists.

This example Splits the given big list to smaller
lists based in Element Size.

   /**
     * The method returns List of ArrayLists having 500 objects in each list.
     * @param dataList the dataList
     * @param numElements the num elements
     * @return the list[]
     */
    public static List[] splitArrayListIntoSmall(ArrayList dataList, int numElements)
    {
        if(dataList == null || dataList.size() == 0 || numElements == 0)
            return new List[0];
        if(numElements < 0)
            return (new List[] {
                    dataList
            });
        int numLists = (dataList.size() % numElements) == 0?(dataList.size() /
  numElements):((dataList.size() / numElements)+ 1);
        List result[] = new List[numLists];
        for(int i = 0; i < numLists; i++)
        {
            int count = i + 1;
            int fromIndex = Math.max((count - 1) * dataList.size()/numLists, 0);
            int toIndex = Math.min(count * dataList.size()/numLists, dataList.size());
            result[i] = dataList.subList(fromIndex, toIndex);
        }
        return result;
