Java check if list of objects contains object with specific name
I have a list of objects:
List<City> cities = city.getList();
I would like to remove duplicates (where duplicates mean objects with the same parameter value name
and different ( id
and different parameters);
I have a code for this:
for(City c: cities) {
System.out.println("analise " + c.name);
if(!temp.contains(c)) {
temp.add(c);
}
}
I wrote for the hashCode () and equals () method:
@Override
public int hashCode() {
return id.hashCode();
}
...
@Override
public boolean equals(Object other) {
if (other == null) return false;
if (other == this) return true;
if (!(other instanceof GenericDictionary))return false;
GenericDictionary otherMyClass = (GenericDictionary) other;
if(this.name == otherMyClass.name) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
But that doesn't apply. It uses object.equals () method instead of mine
