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]

这三行代码可以从ArrayList或任何集合中删除重复的元素。

List<Entity> entities = repository.findByUserId(userId);

Set<Entity> s = new LinkedHashSet<Entity>(entities);
entities.clear();
entities.addAll(s);

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);
}

这里有一个不影响列表排序的方法:

ArrayList l1 = new ArrayList();
ArrayList l2 = new ArrayList();

Iterator iterator = l1.iterator();

while (iterator.hasNext()) {
    YourClass o = (YourClass) iterator.next();
    if(!l2.contains(o)) l2.add(o);
}

L1是原始列表，l2是没有重复项的列表 (确保你的类有equals方法，根据你想要代表的相等)

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--;
            }
        }
}

public Set<Object> findDuplicates(List<Object> list) {
        Set<Object> items = new HashSet<Object>();
        Set<Object> duplicates = new HashSet<Object>();
        for (Object item : list) {
            if (items.contains(item)) {
                duplicates.add(item);
                } else { 
                    items.add(item);
                    } 
            } 
        return duplicates;
        }
