Remove a specified element from the array List

In the previous post, we have seen how to add a collection of elements at a particular index in the arraylist. In this post, we will see how to remove a specified element from the array list.

We use the remove() method to remove the element.

Syntax:

public boolean remove(Object obj)

Object obj: The element name which needs to be removed.

Example:

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class ArrayListEx {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ArrayList<String> fruits = new ArrayList<String>();
		fruits.add("Apple");
		fruits.add("Orange");
		fruits.add("Mango");
		fruits.add("Grapes");

		System.out.println("Fruits list : "+fruits);
		fruits.remove("Orange");
		
		System.out.println("Fruits after removing specified element : "+fruits);
	}
}

Output:
