List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
        Set<String> set = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
        String s = "ravi is a good!boy. But ravi is very nasty fellow.";
        StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s, " ,. ,!");
        while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
            result.add(st.nextToken());
        }
         System.out.println(result);
         set.addAll(result);
        result.clear();
        result.addAll(set);
        System.out.println(result);

output:
[ravi, is, a, good, boy, But, ravi, is, very, nasty, fellow]
[ravi, is, a, good, boy, But, very, nasty, fellow]

虽然将ArrayList转换为HashSet可以有效地删除重复项，但如果您需要保留插入顺序，我宁愿建议您使用这个变体

// list is some List of Strings
Set<String> s = new LinkedHashSet<>(list);

然后，如果需要返回List引用，可以再次使用转换构造函数。

for(int a=0;a<myArray.size();a++){
        for(int b=a+1;b<myArray.size();b++){
            if(myArray.get(a).equalsIgnoreCase(myArray.get(b))){
                myArray.remove(b); 
                dups++;
                b--;
            }
        }
}

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;
}

public static void main(String[] args){
    ArrayList<Object> al = new ArrayList<Object>();
    al.add("abc");
    al.add('a');
    al.add('b');
    al.add('a');
    al.add("abc");
    al.add(10.3);
    al.add('c');
    al.add(10);
    al.add("abc");
    al.add(10);
    System.out.println("Before Duplicate Remove:"+al);
    for(int i=0;i<al.size();i++){
        for(int j=i+1;j<al.size();j++){
            if(al.get(i).equals(al.get(j))){
                al.remove(j);
                j--;
            }
        }
    }
    System.out.println("After Removing duplicate:"+al);
}

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;
}
