这是正确的(如果您关心HashSet的开销的话)。

 public static ArrayList<String> removeDuplicates (ArrayList<String> arrayList){
    if (arrayList.isEmpty()) return null;  //return what makes sense for your app
    Collections.sort(arrayList, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);
    //remove duplicates
    ArrayList <String> arrayList_mod = new ArrayList<>();
    arrayList_mod.add(arrayList.get(0));
    for (int i=1; i<arrayList.size(); i++){
        if (!arrayList.get(i).equals(arrayList.get(i-1))) arrayList_mod.add(arrayList.get(i));
    }
    return arrayList_mod;
}

时间复杂度:O(n):无设置

private static void removeDup(ArrayList<String> listWithDuplicateElements) {
    System.out.println(" Original Duplicate List :" + listWithDuplicateElements);
    List<String> listWithoutDuplicateElements = new ArrayList<>(listWithDuplicateElements.size());

    listWithDuplicateElements.stream().forEach(str -> {
        if (listWithoutDuplicateElements.indexOf(str) == -1) {
            listWithoutDuplicateElements.add(str);
        }
    });     

    System.out.println(" Without Duplicate List :" + listWithoutDuplicateElements);
}

以下是我的答案，不使用任何其他数据结构，如set或hashmap等。

public static <T> ArrayList<T> uniquefy(ArrayList<T> myList) {

    ArrayList <T> uniqueArrayList = new ArrayList<T>();
    for (int i = 0; i < myList.size(); i++){
        if (!uniqueArrayList.contains(myList.get(i))){
            uniqueArrayList.add(myList.get(i));
        }
    }

    return uniqueArrayList;
}

在Java 8中:

List<String> deduped = list.stream().distinct().collect(Collectors.toList());

请注意，列表成员的hashCode-equals契约应该得到尊重，以便过滤正常工作。

LinkedHashSet可以做到这一点。

String[] arr2 = {"5","1","2","3","3","4","1","2"};
Set<String> set = new LinkedHashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(arr2));
for(String s1 : set)
    System.out.println(s1);

System.out.println( "------------------------" );
String[] arr3 = set.toArray(new String[0]);
for(int i = 0; i < arr3.length; i++)
     System.out.println(arr3[i].toString());

/ /输出:5、1、2、3、4

你可以在下面使用嵌套循环:

ArrayList<Class1> l1 = new ArrayList<Class1>();
ArrayList<Class1> l2 = new ArrayList<Class1>();

        Iterator iterator1 = l1.iterator();
        boolean repeated = false;

        while (iterator1.hasNext())
        {
            Class1 c1 = (Class1) iterator1.next();
            for (Class1 _c: l2) {
                if(_c.getId() == c1.getId())
                    repeated = true;
            }
            if(!repeated)
                l2.add(c1);
        }
