Java Arraylist remove multiple element by index

Question

Here is my code:

for (int i = 0; i < myarraylist.size(); i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < stopwords.size(); j++) {
            if (stopwords.get(j).e         


        

Answer 1

Use Iterator.remove() to remove elements while iterating.

for (Iterator iter = myarraylist.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
  String element = iter.next();
  if (element meets some criteria) {
    iter.remove();
  }
}

Or use Google Guava's filter which returns a filtered view and leaves the original list unchanged.

Iterable filtered = Iterables.filter(myarraylist, new Predicate() {
  public boolean apply(String element) {
    return true of false based on criteria
  }
});
