Removing duplicate strings from an array?

Question

How can I remove duplicate strings from a string array without using a HashSet?

I try to use loops, but the words not delete.

StringBuffer outString = ne

If you are allowed to use Lists, you can define a generic method that does this fairly easily:

public  T[] removeDuplicates(final T[] array) {
    List noDuplicates = new ArrayList();
    for (T arrayElem : array) {
        if (!noDuplicates.contains(arrayElem)) {
            noDuplicates.add(arrayElem);
        }
    }
    return (T[]) noDuplicates.toArray();
}
