how can I remove all the element in a arrayList ?
static ArrayList addRecord = new ArrayList();
for(int i=0;i <addRecord.size(), i++)
{
//do some operation;
}
//destory the ArrayList here,
what i want is there's no element in the array list here
...any ideas other than addRecord.remove to remove
all the element in the arrayLIst
thanks

the api is a great place to look for this kind of stuff...
e.g.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/
(or whatever version your using)
you can lookup things like Arraylist, and see what methods it has. In this case,
clear()
Removes all of the elements from this list.


Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Thanks very much..
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
