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。

如前所述，应该使用实现Set接口的类而不是List来确保元素的唯一性。如果必须保持元素的顺序，则可以使用SortedSet接口;TreeSet类实现了该接口。

import java.util.*;
class RemoveDupFrmString
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String s="appsc";

        Set<Character> unique = new LinkedHashSet<Character> ();

        for(char c : s.toCharArray()) {

            System.out.println(unique.add(c));
        }
        for(char dis:unique){
            System.out.println(dis);
        }


    }
}

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;
}

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}

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
