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]

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。

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;
}

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。

    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);

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--;
            }
        }
}
