I've a listView that has some content initially. If the same content it gets, i removed the duplication through linkedhashset
. Now, i want copy the linkedhashset
contents i.e without duplication contents to new ArrayList
.
I tried to copy through
p.addAll(0,lhm); // P is the instance of ArrayList and lhm is linkedHashset instance
But, the ArrayList
includes the duplication content too.
Example :
ArrayList<Price> p = new ArrayList<Price>();
p.add(new Price("Banana", 60));
p.add(new Price("Apple", 80));
LinkedHashSet<Price> lhm = new LinkedHashSet<Price>(p);
lhm.add(new Price("Banana", 20));
lhm.add(new Price("Apple", 40));
lhm.add(new Price("Orange", 30));
for(Price pr:lhm)
{
System.out.println(pr);
}
Price duplicate = new Price("Banana", 20);
System.out.println("inserting duplicate object...");
lhm.add(duplicate);
lhm.add(new Price("Apple", 40));
p.addAll(0,lhm);
System.out.println("After insertion:");
for(Price pr:lhm)
{
System.out.println(pr);
}
for (int i = 0; i < p.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(p.get(i).getItem() +"-" +p.get(i).getPrice());
}
Price.class
class Price
{
private String item;
private int price;
public Price(String itm, int pr)
{
this.item = itm;
this.price = pr;
}
public int hashCode()
{
System.out.println("In hashcode");
int hashcode = 0;
hashcode = price;
//System.out.println(hashcode);
hashcode+= item.hashCode();
// System.out.println(hashcode);
return hashcode;
}
public boolean equals(Object obj)
{
System.out.println("In equals");
if (obj instanceof Price)
{
Price pp = (Price) obj;
return (pp.item.equals(this.item) && pp.price == this.price);
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
public String getItem()
{
return item;
}
public void setItem(String item)
{
this.item = item;
}
public int getPrice()
{
return price;
}
public void setPrice(int price)
{
this.price = price;
}
public String toString()
{
return "item: "+item+" price: "+price;
}
}
Output :

item: Apple price: 40

//iterating linkedhasset content
After insertion:
item: Banana price: 60
item: Apple price: 80
item: Banana price: 20
item: Apple price: 40
item: Orange price: 30
// iterating ArrayList p content
Banana-60
Apple-80
Banana-20
Apple-40
Orange-30
Banana-60
Apple-80 <-- duplicate
The following line just inserts all the elements into the arraylist starting from the 0th index
p.addAll(0,lhm);
And, the elements which were added using these lines were still present in the arraylist:
p.add(new Price("Banana", 60));
p.add(new Price("Apple", 80));
So, you should clear the array list before adding the items from the linkedhashset, in case you don't want the duplicates. i.e.
p.clear();
p.addAll(lhm); // and, at this point you don't need the index.
