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。

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);

LinkedHashSet可以做到这一点。

String[] arr2 = {"5","1","2","3","3","4","1","2"};
Set<String> set = new LinkedHashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(arr2));
for(String s1 : set)
    System.out.println(s1);

System.out.println( "------------------------" );
String[] arr3 = set.toArray(new String[0]);
for(int i = 0; i < arr3.length; i++)
     System.out.println(arr3[i].toString());

/ /输出:5、1、2、3、4

ArrayList<String> city=new ArrayList<String>();
city.add("rajkot");
city.add("gondal");
city.add("rajkot");
city.add("gova");
city.add("baroda");
city.add("morbi");
city.add("gova");

HashSet<String> hashSet = new HashSet<String>();
hashSet.addAll(city);
city.clear();
city.addAll(hashSet);
Toast.makeText(getActivity(),"" + city.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

还有来自Guava的ImmutableSet作为一个选项(这里是文档):

ImmutableSet.copyOf(list);

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;
        }
