Class ArrayList
Resizable-array implementation of the List interface. Implements all optional list operations,
and permits all elements, including null. In addition to implementing the List interface, this
class provides methods to manipulate the size of the array that is used internally to store the
list. (This class is roughly equivalent to Vector, except that it is unsynchronized.)
Method Summary
Appends the specified element to the end of this list.
Inserts the specified element at the specified position in this list.
Appends all of the elements in the specified Collection to the end of this list,
in the order that they are returned by the specified Collection’s Iterator.
Inserts all of the elements in the specified Collection into this list, starting at
the specified position.
Removes all of the elements from this list.
Returns a shallow copy of this ArrayList instance.
Returns true if this list contains the specified element.
Increases the capacity of this ArrayList instance, if necessary, to ensure that it
can hold at least the number of elements specified by the minimum capacity
argument.
Returns the element at the specified position in this list.
Searches for the first occurence of the given argument, testing for equality
using the equals method.
Returns the index of the last occurrence of the specified object in this list.
Removes the element at the specified position in this list.
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this list, if it is
present (optional operation).
protected
void
Removes from this List all of the elements whose index is between
fromIndex, inclusive and toIndex, exclusive.
Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the specified
element.
Returns the number of elements in this list.
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this list in the correct order.
T[]
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this list in the correct order;
the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array.
Trims the capacity of this ArrayList instance to be the list’s current size.
