1. for(Object o: objectArrayList){
    o.DoSomthing();
}
and

2. for(int i=0; i<objectArrayList.size(); i++){
    objectArrayList.get(i).DoSomthing();
}

两者都做同样的事情，但为了方便和安全的编程使用，在第二种使用方式中有容易出错的可能性。

以下是Android开发团队对两者差异的简要分析:

The result is that there is a difference, and in very restrained environments with very large lists it could be a noticeable difference. In their testing, the for each loop took twice as long. However, their testing was over an arraylist of 400,000 integers. The actual difference per element in the array was 6 microseconds. I haven't tested and they didn't say, but I would expect the difference to be slightly larger using objects rather than primitives, but even still unless you are building library code where you have no idea the scale of what you will be asked to iterate over, I think the difference is not worth stressing about.

摘自Joshua Bloch的《Effective Java》第46条:

The for-each loop, introduced in release 1.5, gets rid of the clutter and the opportunity for error by hiding the iterator or index variable completely. The resulting idiom applies equally to collections and arrays: // The preferred idiom for iterating over collections and arrays for (Element e : elements) { doSomething(e); } When you see the colon (:), read it as “in.” Thus, the loop above reads as “for each element e in elements.” Note that there is no performance penalty for using the for-each loop, even for arrays. In fact, it may offer a slight performance advantage over an ordinary for loop in some circumstances, as it computes the limit of the array index only once. While you can do this by hand (Item 45), programmers don’t always do so.

对性能的影响基本上是微不足道的，但也不是零。如果你看看JavaDoc的RandomAccess接口:

根据经验，一个列表 实现应该实现这个 的典型实例 这个类，这个循环: For (int i=0, n=list.size();I < n;我+ +) list.get(我); 运行速度比这个循环快: for(迭代器i=list.iterator();i.hasNext (); i.next ();

for-each循环使用version with iterator，以ArrayList为例，for-each循环不是最快的。

即使使用像ArrayList或Vector这样的东西，其中“get”是一个简单的数组查找，第二个循环仍然有第一个循环没有的额外开销。我预计它会比第一次慢一点。

Foreach使你的代码的意图更清晰，这通常比非常小的速度改进更受欢迎——如果有的话。

每当我看到一个索引循环，我必须解析它一段时间，以确保它做什么，我认为它做，例如，它是否从零开始，它是否包括或排除终点等?

我的大部分时间似乎都花在了阅读代码(我写的或别人写的)上，而清晰度几乎总是比性能更重要。现在很容易忽略Hotspot的性能，因为Hotspot做得非常出色。
