I have an ArrayList<String>, and I want to remove repeated strings from it. How can I do this?
If you don't want duplicates in a Collection, you should consider why you're using a Collection that allows duplicates. The easiest way to remove repeated elements is to add the contents to a Set (which will not allow duplicates) and then add the Set back to the ArrayList:
Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(yourList);
yourList.clear();
yourList.addAll(set);
Of course, this destroys the ordering of the elements in the ArrayList.
Although converting the ArrayList to a HashSet effectively removes duplicates, if you need to preserve insertion order, I'd rather suggest you to use this variant
// list is some List of Strings
Set<String> s = new LinkedHashSet<>(list);
Then, if you need to get back a List reference, you can use again the conversion constructor.
In Java 8:
List<String> deduped = list.stream().distinct().collect(Collectors.toList());
Please note that the hashCode-equals contract for list members should be respected for the filtering to work properly.
Suppose we have a list of String like:
List<String> strList = new ArrayList<>(5);
// insert up to five items to list.
Then we can remove duplicate elements in multiple ways.
Prior to Java 8
List<String> deDupStringList = new ArrayList<>(new HashSet<>(strList));
Note: If we want to maintain the insertion order then we need to use LinkedHashSet in place of HashSet
Using Guava
List<String> deDupStringList2 = Lists.newArrayList(Sets.newHashSet(strList));
Using Java 8
List<String> deDupStringList3 = strList.stream().distinct().collect(Collectors.toList());
Note: In case we want to collect the result in a specific list implementation e.g. LinkedList then we can modify the above example as:
List<String> deDupStringList3 = strList.stream().distinct()
.collect(Collectors.toCollection(LinkedList::new));
We can use parallelStream also in the above code but it may not give expected performace benefits. Check this question for more.
If you don't want duplicates, use a Set instead of a List. To convert a List to a Set you can use the following code:
// list is some List of Strings
Set<String> s = new HashSet<String>(list);
If really necessary you can use the same construction to convert a Set back into a List.
Java 8 streams provide a very simple way to remove duplicate elements from a list. Using the distinct method.
If we have a list of cities and we want to remove duplicates from that list it can be done in a single line -
List<String> cityList = new ArrayList<>();
cityList.add("Delhi");
cityList.add("Mumbai");
cityList.add("Bangalore");
cityList.add("Chennai");
cityList.add("Kolkata");
cityList.add("Mumbai");
cityList = cityList.stream().distinct().collect(Collectors.toList());
How to remove duplicate elements from an arraylist
You can also do it this way, and preserve order:
// delete duplicates (if any) from 'myArrayList'
myArrayList = new ArrayList<String>(new LinkedHashSet<String>(myArrayList));
Here's a way that doesn't affect your list ordering:
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 is the original list, and l2 is the list without repeated items
(Make sure YourClass has the equals method according to what you want to stand for equality)
this can solve the problem:
private List<SomeClass> clearListFromDuplicateFirstName(List<SomeClass> list1) {
Map<String, SomeClass> cleanMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, SomeClass>();
for (int i = 0; i < list1.size(); i++) {
cleanMap.put(list1.get(i).getFirstName(), list1.get(i));
}
List<SomeClass> list = new ArrayList<SomeClass>(cleanMap.values());
return list;
}
It is possible to remove duplicates from arraylist without using HashSet or one more arraylist.
Try this code..
ArrayList<String> lst = new ArrayList<String>();
lst.add("ABC");
lst.add("ABC");
lst.add("ABCD");
lst.add("ABCD");
lst.add("ABCE");
System.out.println("Duplicates List "+lst);
Object[] st = lst.toArray();
for (Object s : st) {
if (lst.indexOf(s) != lst.lastIndexOf(s)) {
lst.remove(lst.lastIndexOf(s));
}
}
System.out.println("Distinct List "+lst);
Output is
Duplicates List [ABC, ABC, ABCD, ABCD, ABCE]
Distinct List [ABC, ABCD, ABCE]
There is also ImmutableSet from Guava as an option (here is the documentation):
ImmutableSet.copyOf(list);
Probably a bit overkill, but I enjoy this kind of isolated problem. :)
This code uses a temporary Set (for the uniqueness check) but removes elements directly inside the original list. Since element removal inside an ArrayList can induce a huge amount of array copying, the remove(int)-method is avoided.
public static <T> void removeDuplicates(ArrayList<T> list) {
int size = list.size();
int out = 0;
{
final Set<T> encountered = new HashSet<T>();
for (int in = 0; in < size; in++) {
final T t = list.get(in);
final boolean first = encountered.add(t);
if (first) {
list.set(out++, t);
}
}
}
while (out < size) {
list.remove(--size);
}
}
While we're at it, here's a version for LinkedList (a lot nicer!):
public static <T> void removeDuplicates(LinkedList<T> list) {
final Set<T> encountered = new HashSet<T>();
for (Iterator<T> iter = list.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
final T t = iter.next();
final boolean first = encountered.add(t);
if (!first) {
iter.remove();
}
}
}
Use the marker interface to present a unified solution for List:
public static <T> void removeDuplicates(List<T> list) {
if (list instanceof RandomAccess) {
// use first version here
} else {
// use other version here
}
}
EDIT: I guess the generics-stuff doesn't really add any value here.. Oh well. :)
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);
}
If you're willing to use a third-party library, you can use the method distinct() in Eclipse Collections (formerly GS Collections).
ListIterable<Integer> integers = FastList.newListWith(1, 3, 1, 2, 2, 1);
Assert.assertEquals(
FastList.newListWith(1, 3, 2),
integers.distinct());
The advantage of using distinct() instead of converting to a Set and then back to a List is that distinct() preserves the order of the original List, retaining the first occurrence of each element. It's implemented by using both a Set and a List.
MutableSet<T> seenSoFar = UnifiedSet.newSet();
int size = list.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
T item = list.get(i);
if (seenSoFar.add(item))
{
targetCollection.add(item);
}
}
return targetCollection;
If you cannot convert your original List into an Eclipse Collections type, you can use ListAdapter to get the same API.
MutableList<Integer> distinct = ListAdapter.adapt(integers).distinct();
Note: I am a committer for Eclipse Collections.
If you are using model type List< T>/ArrayList< T> . Hope,it's help you.
Here is my code without using any other data structure like set or hashmap
for (int i = 0; i < Models.size(); i++){
for (int j = i + 1; j < Models.size(); j++) {
if (Models.get(i).getName().equals(Models.get(j).getName())) {
Models.remove(j);
j--;
}
}
}
If you want to preserve your Order then it is best to use LinkedHashSet.
Because if you want to pass this List to an Insert Query by Iterating it, the order would be preserved.
Try this
LinkedHashSet link=new LinkedHashSet();
List listOfValues=new ArrayList();
listOfValues.add(link);
This conversion will be very helpful when you want to return a List but not a Set.
This three lines of code can remove the duplicated element from ArrayList or any collection.
List<Entity> entities = repository.findByUserId(userId);
Set<Entity> s = new LinkedHashSet<Entity>(entities);
entities.clear();
entities.addAll(s);
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--;
}
}
}
When you are filling the ArrayList, use a condition for each element. For example:
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 + " ");
}
We will get an array {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Code:
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);
Note: Definitely, there will be memory overhead.
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();
you can use nested loop in follow :
ArrayList<Class1> l1 = new ArrayList<Class1>();
ArrayList<Class1> l2 = new ArrayList<Class1>();
Iterator iterator1 = l1.iterator();
boolean repeated = false;
while (iterator1.hasNext())
{
Class1 c1 = (Class1) iterator1.next();
for (Class1 _c: l2) {
if(_c.getId() == c1.getId())
repeated = true;
}
if(!repeated)
l2.add(c1);
}
LinkedHashSet will do the trick.
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());
//output: 5,1,2,3,4
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]
This is used for your Custom Objects list
public List<Contact> removeDuplicates(List<Contact> list) {
// Set set1 = new LinkedHashSet(list);
Set set = new TreeSet(new Comparator() {
#Override
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
if (((Contact) o1).getId().equalsIgnoreCase(((Contact) o2).getId()) /*&&
((Contact)o1).getName().equalsIgnoreCase(((Contact)o2).getName())*/) {
return 0;
}
return 1;
}
});
set.addAll(list);
final List newList = new ArrayList(set);
return newList;
}
As said before, you should use a class implementing the Set interface instead of List to be sure of the unicity of elements. If you have to keep the order of elements, the SortedSet interface can then be used; the TreeSet class implements that interface.
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);
}
}
}
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;
}
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
HashSet<String> unique = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
HashSet<String> dup = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
boolean b = false;
list.add("Hello");
list.add("Hello");
list.add("how");
list.add("are");
list.add("u");
list.add("u");
for(Iterator iterator= list.iterator();iterator.hasNext();)
{
String value = (String)iterator.next();
System.out.println(value);
if(b==unique.add(value))
dup.add(value);
else
unique.add(value);
}
System.out.println(unique);
System.out.println(dup);
If you want to remove duplicates from ArrayList means find the below logic,
public static Object[] removeDuplicate(Object[] inputArray)
{
long startTime = System.nanoTime();
int totalSize = inputArray.length;
Object[] resultArray = new Object[totalSize];
int newSize = 0;
for(int i=0; i<totalSize; i++)
{
Object value = inputArray[i];
if(value == null)
{
continue;
}
for(int j=i+1; j<totalSize; j++)
{
if(value.equals(inputArray[j]))
{
inputArray[j] = null;
}
}
resultArray[newSize++] = value;
}
long endTime = System.nanoTime()-startTime;
System.out.println("Total Time-B:"+endTime);
return resultArray;
}
Code:
List<InData> inDataList= generateInRepo.getInList();
for(int i=0; i<inDataList.size();i++){
if(somecondition){
inDataList.remove(i);
}
}
the problem here is when an item is removed the size of list gets disturbed and code fails. How to acheive this functionality in right way?
The problem with your code is that you should not increment i after deletion.
The trick to deleting from the list that you iterate is iterating it backwards:
for( int i=inDataList.size()-1; i <= 0 ; i--) {
if(somecondition){
inDataList.remove(i);
}
}
This way your next iteration will never come to the index that you have visited already.
Iterator.remove() is safe during iteration:
List<InData> inDataList = generateInRepo.getInList();
Iterator<InData> it = inDataList.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
InData data = it.next();
if (some condition) {
it.remove();
}
}
Use Iterator
List<InData> inDataList = generateInRepo.getInList();
for (Iterator<InData> iterator = inDataList.iterator(); iterator
.hasNext();) {
InData inData = (InData) iterator.next();
if (somecondition) {
iterator.remove();
}
}
Copy 'good' records to another array, then replace original one.
Use Iterator and try to remove element from List.
for(Iterator<InData> itr = inDataList.iterator();itr.hasNext();itr.next();) {
if(somecondition) {
itr.remove();
}
}
I'm trying to remove a particular element from Arraylist, it throws an ConcurrentModificationException
ArrayList<String> ar = new ArrayList<String>();
ar.add("a");
ar.add("b");
ar.add("c");
ar.add("a");
ar.add("e");
for(String st: ar){
System.out.println("st="+st);
if(st.equals("a")){
ar.remove(st);
}
}
any comments, what am I doing wrong?
Only remove an element from the array while iterating by using Iterator.remove().
The line for(String st: ar) { is a bit misleading. You're actually creating an iterator behind the scenes which is being used for this iteration. If you need to remove elements from within the iteration, you need to explicitly use an iterator so that you can call iterator.remove().
ArrayList<String> ar = new ArrayList<String>();
ar.add("a");
ar.add("b");
ar.add("c");
ar.add("a");
ar.add("e");
Iterator<String> it = ar.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
String st = it.next();
System.out.println("st="+st);
if (st.equals("a")) {
it.remove();
}
}
you are modifing the array you are iterating on.
I suggest you to use the Iterator to do similar things.
You're removing an element from a collection while you're iterating over that collection, without using the iterator to do it. Don't do that. There are lots of alternatives, primarily:
Use indexes instead (get, remove(int)) being careful about your counts so that you don't skip over items
for (int i = 0; i < ar.size(); i++) {
String st = ar.get(i);
System.out.println("st="+st);
if(st.equals("a")) {
ar.remove(i);
i--; // We want to use this index again
}
}
Build up a collection of items to remove, then remove them all afterwards
List<String> elementsToRemove = new ArrayList<String>();
for(String st: ar){
System.out.println("st="+st);
if(st.equals("a")){
elementsToRemove.add(st);
}
}
ar.removeAll(elementsToRemove);
Remove using the iterator, if the iterator supports removal (as ArrayList's does)
for (Iterator<String> it = ar.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
String st = it.next();
System.out.println("st="+st);
if(st.equals("a")) {
it.remove();
}
}
I have an ArrayList that I want to iterate over. While iterating over it I have to remove elements at the same time. Obviously this throws a java.util.ConcurrentModificationException.
What is the best practice to handle this problem? Should I clone the list first?
I remove the elements not in the loop itself but another part of the code.
My code looks like this:
public class Test() {
private ArrayList<A> abc = new ArrayList<A>();
public void doStuff() {
for (A a : abc)
a.doSomething();
}
public void removeA(A a) {
abc.remove(a);
}
}
a.doSomething might call Test.removeA();
Two options:
Create a list of values you wish to remove, adding to that list within the loop, then call originalList.removeAll(valuesToRemove) at the end
Use the remove() method on the iterator itself. Note that this means you can't use the enhanced for loop.
As an example of the second option, removing any strings with a length greater than 5 from a list:
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
...
for (Iterator<String> iterator = list.iterator(); iterator.hasNext(); ) {
String value = iterator.next();
if (value.length() > 5) {
iterator.remove();
}
}
From the JavaDocs of the ArrayList
The iterators returned by this class's iterator and listIterator
methods are fail-fast: if the list is structurally modified at any
time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the
iterator's own remove or add methods, the iterator will throw a
ConcurrentModificationException.
You are trying to remove value from list in advanced "for loop", which is not possible, even if you apply any trick (which you did in your code).
Better way is to code iterator level as other advised here.
I wonder how people have not suggested traditional for loop approach.
for( int i = 0; i < lStringList.size(); i++ )
{
String lValue = lStringList.get( i );
if(lValue.equals("_Not_Required"))
{
lStringList.remove(lValue);
i--;
}
}
This works as well.
In Java 8 you can use the Collection Interface and do this by calling the removeIf method:
yourList.removeIf((A a) -> a.value == 2);
More information can be found here
You should really just iterate back the array in the traditional way
Every time you remove an element from the list, the elements after will be push forward. As long as you don't change elements other than the iterating one, the following code should work.
public class Test(){
private ArrayList<A> abc = new ArrayList<A>();
public void doStuff(){
for(int i = (abc.size() - 1); i >= 0; i--)
abc.get(i).doSomething();
}
public void removeA(A a){
abc.remove(a);
}
}
While iterating the list, if you want to remove the element is possible. Let see below my examples,
ArrayList<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
names.add("abc");
names.add("def");
names.add("ghi");
names.add("xyz");
I have the above names of Array list. And i want to remove the "def" name from the above list,
for(String name : names){
if(name.equals("def")){
names.remove("def");
}
}
The above code throws the ConcurrentModificationException exception because you are modifying the list while iterating.
So, to remove the "def" name from Arraylist by doing this way,
Iterator<String> itr = names.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()){
String name = itr.next();
if(name.equals("def")){
itr.remove();
}
}
The above code, through iterator we can remove the "def" name from the Arraylist and try to print the array, you would be see the below output.
Output : [abc, ghi, xyz]
Do the loop in the normal way, the java.util.ConcurrentModificationException is an error related to the elements that are accessed.
So try:
for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++){
lista.get(i).action();
}
Here is an example where I use a different list to add the objects for removal, then afterwards I use stream.foreach to remove elements from original list :
private ObservableList<CustomerTableEntry> customersTableViewItems = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
...
private void removeOutdatedRowsElementsFromCustomerView()
{
ObjectProperty<TimeStamp> currentTimestamp = new SimpleObjectProperty<>(TimeStamp.getCurrentTime());
long diff;
long diffSeconds;
List<Object> objectsToRemove = new ArrayList<>();
for(CustomerTableEntry item: customersTableViewItems) {
diff = currentTimestamp.getValue().getTime() - item.timestamp.getValue().getTime();
diffSeconds = diff / 1000 % 60;
if(diffSeconds > 10) {
// Element has been idle for too long, meaning no communication, hence remove it
System.out.printf("- Idle element [%s] - will be removed\n", item.getUserName());
objectsToRemove.add(item);
}
}
objectsToRemove.stream().forEach(o -> customersTableViewItems.remove(o));
}
One option is to modify the removeA method to this -
public void removeA(A a,Iterator<A> iterator) {
iterator.remove(a);
}
But this would mean your doSomething() should be able to pass the iterator to the remove method. Not a very good idea.
Can you do this in two step approach :
In the first loop when you iterate over the list , instead of removing the selected elements , mark them as to be deleted. For this , you may simply copy these elements ( shallow copy ) into another List.
Then , once your iteration is done , simply do a removeAll from the first list all elements in the second list.
In my case, the accepted answer is not working, It stops Exception but it causes some inconsistency in my List. The following solution is perfectly working for me.
List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
List<String> itemsToRemove = new ArrayList<>();
for (String value: list) {
if (value.length() > 5) { // your condition
itemsToRemove.add(value);
}
}
list.removeAll(itemsToRemove);
In this code, I have added the items to remove, in another list and then used list.removeAll method to remove all required items.
Instead of using For each loop, use normal for loop. for example,the below code removes all the element in the array list without giving java.util.ConcurrentModificationException. You can modify the condition in the loop according to your use case.
for(int i=0; i<abc.size(); i++) {
e.remove(i);
}
Sometimes old school is best. Just go for a simple for loop but make sure you start at the end of the list otherwise as you remove items you will get out of sync with your index.
List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = list.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
if ("removeMe".equals(list.get(i))) {
list.remove(i);
}
}
You can also use CopyOnWriteArrayList instead of an ArrayList. This is the latest recommended approach by from JDK 1.5 onwards.
Do somehting simple like this:
for (Object object: (ArrayList<String>) list.clone()) {
list.remove(object);
}
An alternative Java 8 solution using stream:
theList = theList.stream()
.filter(element -> !shouldBeRemoved(element))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
In Java 7 you can use Guava instead:
theList = FluentIterable.from(theList)
.filter(new Predicate<String>() {
#Override
public boolean apply(String element) {
return !shouldBeRemoved(element);
}
})
.toImmutableList();
Note, that the Guava example results in an immutable list which may or may not be what you want.
for (A a : new ArrayList<>(abc)) {
a.doSomething();
abc.remove(a);
}
"Should I clone the list first?"
That will be the easiest solution, remove from the clone, and copy the clone back after removal.
An example from my rummikub game:
SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public void removeStones() {
ArrayList<Stone> clone = (ArrayList<Stone>) stones.clone();
// remove the stones moved to the table
for (Stone stone : stones) {
if (stone.isOnTable()) {
clone.remove(stone);
}
}
stones = (ArrayList<Stone>) clone.clone();
sortStones();
}
I arrive late I know but I answer this because I think this solution is simple and elegant:
List<String> listFixed = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String> dynamicList = new ArrayList<String>();
public void fillingList() {
listFixed.add("Andrea");
listFixed.add("Susana");
listFixed.add("Oscar");
listFixed.add("Valeria");
listFixed.add("Kathy");
listFixed.add("Laura");
listFixed.add("Ana");
listFixed.add("Becker");
listFixed.add("Abraham");
dynamicList.addAll(listFixed);
}
public void updatingListFixed() {
for (String newList : dynamicList) {
if (!listFixed.contains(newList)) {
listFixed.add(newList);
}
}
//this is for add elements if you want eraser also
String removeRegister="";
for (String fixedList : listFixed) {
if (!dynamicList.contains(fixedList)) {
removeResgister = fixedList;
}
}
fixedList.remove(removeRegister);
}
All this is for updating from one list to other and you can make all from just one list
and in method updating you check both list and can eraser or add elements betwen list.
This means both list always it same size
Use Iterator instead of Array List
Have a set be converted to iterator with type match
And move to the next element and remove
Iterator<Insured> itr = insuredSet.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
itr.next();
itr.remove();
}
Moving to the next is important here as it should take the index to remove element.
List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<>();
list1.addAll(OriginalList);
List<String> list2 = new ArrayList<>();
list2.addAll(OriginalList);
This is also an option.
If your goal is to remove all elements from the list, you can iterate over each item, and then call:
list.clear()
What about of
import java.util.Collections;
List<A> abc = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList<>());

DECISION
Works great when adding to a new list:
fun <T> MutableList<T>.mathList(_fun: (T) -> T): MutableList<T> {
val newList = mutableListOf<T>() <--- DECISION
for (i in this) {
newList.add(_fun(i)) <--- DECISION
}
return newList <--- DECISION
}
Just add a break after your ArrayList.remove(A) statement
