如果您希望列表自动忽略重复项并保持其顺序，则可以创建HashList(HashMap嵌入式列表)。

public static class HashList<T> extends ArrayList<T>{
        private HashMap <T,T> hashMap;
        public HashList(){
            hashMap=new HashMap<>();
        }

        @Override
        public boolean add(T t){
            if(hashMap.get(t)==null){
                hashMap.put(t,t);
                return super.add(t);
            }else return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean addAll(Collection<? extends T> c){
            HashList<T> addup=(HashList<T>)c;
            for(int i=0;i<addup.size();i++){
                add(addup.get(i));
            }return true;
        }

    }

使用的例子:

HashList<String> hashlist=new HashList<>();
hashList.add("hello");
hashList.add("hello");
System.out.println(" HashList: "+hashlist);

可以在不使用HashSet或一个数组列表的情况下从数组列表中删除重复项。

试试这段代码..

    ArrayList<String> lst = new ArrayList<String>();
    lst.add("ABC");
    lst.add("ABC");
    lst.add("ABCD");
    lst.add("ABCD");
    lst.add("ABCE");

    System.out.println("Duplicates List "+lst);

    Object[] st = lst.toArray();
      for (Object s : st) {
        if (lst.indexOf(s) != lst.lastIndexOf(s)) {
            lst.remove(lst.lastIndexOf(s));
         }
      }

    System.out.println("Distinct List "+lst);

输出是

Duplicates List [ABC, ABC, ABCD, ABCD, ABCE]
Distinct List [ABC, ABCD, ABCE]

还有来自Guava的ImmutableSet作为一个选项(这里是文档):

ImmutableSet.copyOf(list);

    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    HashSet<String> unique = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
    HashSet<String> dup = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
    boolean b = false;
    list.add("Hello");
    list.add("Hello");
    list.add("how");
    list.add("are");
    list.add("u");
    list.add("u");

    for(Iterator iterator= list.iterator();iterator.hasNext();)
    {
        String value = (String)iterator.next();
        System.out.println(value);

        if(b==unique.add(value))
            dup.add(value);
        else
            unique.add(value);


    }
    System.out.println(unique);
    System.out.println(dup);

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);
        }

代码:

List<String> duplicatList = new ArrayList<String>();
duplicatList = Arrays.asList("AA","BB","CC","DD","DD","EE","AA","FF");
//above AA and DD are duplicate
Set<String> uniqueList = new HashSet<String>(duplicatList);
duplicatList = new ArrayList<String>(uniqueList); //let GC will doing free memory
System.out.println("Removed Duplicate : "+duplicatList);

注意:肯定会有内存开销。
