Adding and Deleting items from AWT list in Java

Adding items in AWT list

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.List;
import java.awt.Color;
public class Demo extends Applet {
public void init() {
List l = new List(8, true);
l.add("Desktop");
l.add("Laptop");
l.add("Tablet");
l.add("Phone");
l.add("Kindle");
l.add("Screen");
l.add("System");
add(l);
setBackground(Color.blue);
}
}

We can see in the above applet image all the items added in the AWT list with the blue background color.

Deleting items for AWT list

By adding a line of code to remove or delete the items in the above code example.

add(l);
l.remove(3);
setBackground(Color.blue);

We can see that the 3rd positioned item (according to list) “Phone” has been removed or deleted from the list. We can also delete multiple items in a single time by defining the item’s position.

Note: Items can also be deleted by defining the item’s name as given below.

l.remove("Desktop”);
l.remove("Laptop"); l.remove("Tablet");

We can see that the 3 items have been removed at once. All the items can be removed at once by using the following syntax.

l.removeAll();
