In my code I have a set of PlacesInfo object ie.,
Set<PlacesInfo> placeId;
In this set I am adding placeId (String). I need to avoid adding duplicates to my HashSet. Here is my override method below. but, still it is adding duplicate elements to my set. So, how to avoid this?
@Override
public int hashCode() {
int hash = 5;
hash = 97 * hash + Objects.hashCode(this.placeId);
return hash;
}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (obj == null) {
return true;
}
if (this.getClass() != obj.getClass()) {
return false;
}
final PlacesInfo other = (PlacesInfo) obj;
if (!Objects.equals(this.placeId, other.placeId)) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
Try this
@Override
public int hashCode() {
final int prime = 31;
int result = 1;
result = prime * result + ((placeId == null) ? 0 : placeId.hashCode());
return result;
}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (this == obj)
return true;
if (obj == null)
return false;
if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
return false;
PlacesInfo other = (PlacesInfo) obj;
if (placeId == null) {
if (other.placeId != null)
return false;
} else if (!placeId.equals(other.placeId))
return false;
return true;
}
