Question

I would like to remove all the elements in the String array for instance:

String example[]={"Apple","Orange","Mango","Grape","Cherry"}; 

Is there any simple to do it,any snippet on it will be helpful.Thanks

Answer 1

If example is not final then a simple reassignment would work:

example = new String[example.length];

This assumes you need the array to remain the same size. If that’s not necessary then create an empty array:

example = new String[0];

If it is final then you could null out all the elements:

Arrays.fill( example, null );

• See: void Arrays#fill(Object[], Object)
• Consider using an ArrayList or similar collection
