Avoid duplicates in list
I am trying to avoid duplicate values in my list but it's not working. Can you help me for this? I did a lot of work on it, but I'm new to android and also coding. Can you help me where I have made my mistake?
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Dynamic extends Activity {
Button bt, bt2, ent, clr;
EditText et, et2;
String input, input1;
public static ArrayList<String> k_listItems = new ArrayList<String>();
public static ArrayList<String> p_listItems = new ArrayList<String>();
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
bt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nameok);
et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.name);
input = et.getText().toString();
bt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (et.getText().length() == 0) {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = "Enter Your Name";
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
toast.show();
} else {
{
for (int i = 0; i < k_listItems.size(); i++) {
if (k_listItems.get(i).equals("input")) {
Intent in = new Intent(Dynamic.this, Dynamic.class);
startActivity(in);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Name Already Exists", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
}
}
if (et.getText().length() == 0) {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = "Enter Your Number";
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
toast.show();
} else {
et2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
bt2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
bt2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (et2.getText().length() == 0) {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = "Enter Your Number";
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
toast.show();
} else {
ent.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
clr.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
ent.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (null != input && input.length() > 0) {
k_listItems.add(input);
}
if (null != input1 && input1.length() > 0) {
p_listItems.add(input1);
}
input = et.getText().toString();
input1 = et2.getText().toString();
Intent in = new Intent(Dynamic.this, GetList.class);
in.putExtra("input", input);
in.putExtra("input1", input1);
startActivity(in);
}
});
clr.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent in4 = new Intent(Dynamic.this, Dynamic.class);
startActivity(in4);
}
});
}
}
});
}
}
}
});
}
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
et2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number);
bt2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.numberok);
ent = (Button) findViewById(R.id.enter);
clr = (Button) findViewById(R.id.clear);
}
public void onBackPressed() {
Intent startMain = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
startMain.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(startMain);
}
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
Mylist to get that list...

Set will not allow duplicates...See example below
HashSet<String> x_hashSet = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet<String> y_hashSet = new HashSet<String>();
x_hashSet.addAll(x_listItems);
y_hashSet.addAll(y_listItems);
x_listItems.clear();
y_listItems.clear();
x_listItems.addAll(x_hashSet);
y_listItems.addAll(y_hashSet);
Then add list to adapter. That's it.
Hope this will help you ;)

HashSet does not allow duplicate values. It provides add method rather put method. You also use its contain method to check whether the object is already available in HashSet. HashSet can be used where you want to maintain a unique list.
HashSet<String> stateSet = new HashSet<String>();
stateSet.add ("CA");
stateSet.add ("WI");
stateSet.add ("NY");
if (stateSet.contains("PB")) /* if CA, it will not add but shows following message*/
System.out.println("Already found");
else
stateSet.add("PB");

Why don't you use a Set instead of a List? They do not allow duplicates. You will need a hashCode and equals method if you put your own objects in there, but it should just work for Strings
