To Remove element from the list
objectA.removeIf(x -> conditions);
eg:
objectA.removeIf(x -> blockedWorkerIds.contains(x));
List<String> str1 = new ArrayList<String>();
str1.add("A");
str1.add("B");
str1.add("C");
str1.add("D");
List<String> str2 = new ArrayList<String>();
str2.add("D");
str2.add("E");
str1.removeIf(x -> str2.contains(x));
str1.forEach(System.out::println);
OUTPUT: A B C
Although the thread is quite old, still thought to provide solution - using Java8.
Make the use of removeIf function. Time complexity is O(n)
producersProcedureActive.removeIf(producer -> producer.getPod().equals(pod));
API reference: removeIf docs
Assumption: producersProcedureActive is a List
NOTE: With this approach you won't be able to get the hold of the deleted item.
list.subList(4, list.size()).clear();
Sublist operations are reflected in the original list, so this clears everything from index 4 inclusive to list.size() exclusive, a.k.a. everything after index 3. Range removal is specifically used as an example in the documentation:
This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of the sort that commonly exist for arrays). Any operation that expects a list can be used as a range operation by passing a subList view instead of a whole list. For example, the following idiom removes a range of elements from a list:
list.subList(from, to).clear();
Using sublist() and clear(),
public class Count
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
arrayList.add("1");
arrayList.add("2");
arrayList.add("3");
arrayList.add("4");
arrayList.add("5");
arrayList.subList(2, arrayList.size()).clear();
System.out.println(arrayList.size());
}
}
