arraylist iterate in java code example

Example 1: java loop through arraylist

ArrayList<String> namesList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList( "alex", "brian", "charles") );
         
for(String name : namesList)
{
    System.out.println(name);
}

Example 2: java how to iterate through a arraylist

// Using Classic For Loop
for (int i=0; i<myArrayList.size(); i++) {
    System.out.println(myArrayList.get(i));
}
/*****************************************************/
//Advanced For Loop - ArrayList<String> 
for(String str : myArrayList) {
    System.out.println(str);
}
/*****************************************************/
//Using Iterator
Iterator arrayListIterator = myArrayList.iterator();
while (arrayListIterator.hasNext()) {
    System.out.println(arrayListIterator.next());
}
/*****************************************************/
//ForEach - java 8 - ArrayList<String>
myArrayList.forEach( str -> System.out.println(str));

Example 3: ArrayList iterator() method in java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class ArrayListIteratorMethodExample
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      ArrayList<String> fruits = new ArrayList<String>(7);
      fruits.add("banana");
      fruits.add("mango");
      fruits.add("apple");
      fruits.add("watermelon");
      fruits.add("pineapple");
      fruits.add("orange");
      fruits.add("plum");
      Iterator<String> iterate;
      iterate = fruits.iterator();
      System.out.println("Fruits in ArrayList are: ");
      while(iterate.hasNext())
      {
         System.out.println(iterate.next());
      }
   }
}
