got to delete an element from a collection

[shiniskumar]

Ive got a collection with values
Object[0]= hashmap(k,v)
Object[1]= hashmap(k,v)
Object[2]= hashmap(k,v)
Object[3]= hashmap(k,v)
Object[4]= hashmap(k,v)

i terated this collection and deleted object[1]. then when i iterate again i get the following exception.
java.util.Concu rrentModificati onException

How did you delete? Post your code for the deleting part

How did you delete? Post your code for the deleting part

for (Iterator iter = voucherTransact ionCols.iterato r(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Object object = (Object) iter.next();
HashMap campusModel = (HashMap) object;

voucherTransact ionCols.remove( campusModel);
}

Now i can delete the elements but when i delete Object[3] , the element Object[4] moves to the third position . so i cant delete the last elenment in the collection.

see this code carefully .....

Collection c = some code here;

Label:
for(int i=0;i<c.size(); i++)
if(condition)
{
c.remove(c.get( i));
continue Label;
}

try this code ..........
all the best

i cannot get the method c.get(i);

sorry ..... i just use general convention .....
now i use according to ur code ......

label:
for (Iterator iter = voucherTransact ionCols.iterato r(); iter.hasNext() {
Object object = (Object) iter.next();
HashMap campusModel = (HashMap) object;

voucherTransact ionCols.remove( campusModel);
continue label;
}

try this code ...... all the best ....
i think u understood my logic

}

try this code ...... all the best ....
i think u understood my logic

now im getting java.util.Concu rrentModificati onException after deleting the first element and going for the next iteration.
wat to do

[dmjpro]

wait plzzzz ... i m trying to solve it ......

[dmjpro]

it is because of removing and iterating concurrently...

so if u post ur code ...... then i think i will give u some hope....

hey i got it
this is my code
label:
for (Iterator iter = voucherTransact ionCols.iterato r(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Object object = (Object) iter.next();
HashMap campusModel = (HashMap) object;
iter.remove();
continue label;
}

}

}

Use the iterator to remove....... instead of coll.remove()

Thanks a lot

Here is a hint from the docs


"The iterators returned by all of this class's "collection view methods" are fail-fast: if the map 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 ConcurrentModif icationExceptio n. Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future"

And it doesn't look like you'd seen my hint too. Very good work.
