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);
}

    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);

填充数组列表时，为每个元素使用一个条件。例如:

    ArrayList< Integer > al = new ArrayList< Integer >(); 

    // fill 1 
    for ( int i = 0; i <= 5; i++ ) 
        if ( !al.contains( i ) ) 
            al.add( i ); 

    // fill 2 
    for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++ ) 
        if ( !al.contains( i ) ) 
            al.add( i ); 

    for( Integer i: al )
    {
        System.out.print( i + " ");     
    }

我们将得到一个数组{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

如果你想从ArrayList中删除重复项意味着找到下面的逻辑，

public static Object[] removeDuplicate(Object[] inputArray)
{
    long startTime = System.nanoTime();
    int totalSize = inputArray.length;
    Object[] resultArray = new Object[totalSize];
    int newSize = 0;
    for(int i=0; i<totalSize; i++)
    {
        Object value = inputArray[i];
        if(value == null)
        {
            continue;
        }

        for(int j=i+1; j<totalSize; j++)
        {
            if(value.equals(inputArray[j]))
            {
                inputArray[j] = null;
            }
        }
        resultArray[newSize++] = value;
    }

    long endTime = System.nanoTime()-startTime;
    System.out.println("Total Time-B:"+endTime);
    return resultArray;
}

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。

如果不希望集合中有重复项，则应该考虑为什么要使用允许重复项的集合。删除重复元素最简单的方法是将内容添加到Set(不允许重复)，然后将Set添加回ArrayList:

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(yourList);
yourList.clear();
yourList.addAll(set);

当然，这破坏了数组列表中元素的顺序。
