Following example shows how to find first and last element of a Java 8 stream:

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collection;

public class FirstLastElement {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      Collection<String> fruits = Arrays.asList("apple", "banana", "pie", "pineapple", "apricots");

      String firstElement = fruits.stream()
                                  .findFirst()
                                  .orElse(null);

      String lastElement = fruits.stream().skip(fruits.size() - 1)
                                 .reduce((first, second) -> second)
                                 .orElse(null);

      System.out.println("First: " + firstElement);
      System.out.println("Last: " + lastElement);
  }
}
