java数组重置_Java：如何重置数组列表,使其为空

我有一个arraylist< interface>

对象在for循环中被添加到此列表中.每次调用该方法时,我希望这个数组列表为空.

这是代码：

我想在这里清空的数组是SuggestPhrases.

public List returnSuggestedList(String prefix) {

String tempPrefix = prefix;

// suggestedPhrases = null;

//suggestedPhrases = new ArrayList();

//Vector list = new Vector();

//List interfaceList = new ArrayList();

Collections.sort(wordsList);

System.out.println("Sorted Vector contains : " + wordsList);

int i = 0;

//List selected = new ArrayList();

for(String w:wordsList){

System.out.println(w);

if(w.startsWith(prefix.toLowerCase())) { // or .contains(), depending on

//selected.add(w); // what you want exactly

Item itemInt = new Item(w);

suggestedPhrases.add(itemInt);

}

}
