How do I remove objects from an Array in java?

Removing an element from an Array (Java)

listOfNames = new String [] {"1","2","3","4"}; //
String [] l = new String [listOfNames.length-1];
for(int i=0; i<listOfNames.length-1; i++)    //removing the first element
   l[i] = listOfNames[i+1];

开发者_C百科// can this work , Is there a better way ? to remove certain elements from an array in this case the first one .

Without a for loop :

String[] array = new String[]{"12","23","34"};
java.util.List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(array));
list.remove(0);
String[] new_array = list.toArray(new String[0]);

Tip
If you can, stick with List, you'll have more flexibility.

String[] listOfNames = new String [] {"1","2","3","4"};
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(listOfNames));
list.remove(0);
String[] array = list.toArray(array);
