Just Run It........
import java.util.*;
class ArrayListUnique {
static public ArrayList uniqueArrayList(ArrayList arrl) {
int i;
for(int k=0;k<arrl.size();k++) {
Object s=arrl.get(k);
i=Collections.frequency(arrl,s);
for(int j=1;j<i;j++) {
arrl.remove(s);
}
}
return arrl;
}
public static void main (String[] args) {
ArrayList al= new ArrayList();
al.add("A");
al.add("A");

I have modified the above program. And made esay the
process.
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class UniqueArrayListValues {
static ArrayList assignValues() {
ArrayList a1 = new ArrayList();
a1.add("A");
a1.add("B");
a1.add("C");
a1.add("27");
a1.add("A");
a1.add("B");
a1.add("C");
a1.add("27");
a1.add("A");
a1.add("B");
a1.add("C");
a1.add("27");
return a1;
}
static ArrayList applyUniqueKey(ArrayList a1) {
ArrayList a2 = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < a1.size(); i++) {
if (!a2.contains(a1.get(i))) {
a2.add(a1.get(i));
}
}
return a2;
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
ArrayList beforeUniqueKey = assignValues();
System.out.println("Before applying Unique
Key:" + beforeUniqueKey);
ArrayList afterUniqueKey = applyUniqueKey
(beforeUniqueKey);
System.out.println("Afrer applying Unique
Key:" + afterUniqueKey);

need to make sure that objects inserted in array are unique
( by overriding equals() and hash() method of Object class
