    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
        arrayList.add("Ram");
        arrayList.add("Dave");
        arrayList.add("Peter");
        arrayList.add("Julia");
        arrayList.add("Akram");

        System.out.println("ArrayList : " + arrayList + "\n");

        List<String> retainList = new ArrayList<String>();
        retainList.add("Dave");
        retainList.add("Peter");

        System.out.println("RetainList : " + retainList + "\n");

        /*
         * Retaining group of elements from the list
         */

        arrayList.retainAll(retainList);

        System.out
                .println("ArrayList after retaining elements which are present in the retainList : "
                        + arrayList + "\n");

    }

}

Output

ArrayList : [Ram, Dave, Peter, Julia, Akram]

RetainList : [Dave, Peter]

ArrayList after retaining elements which are present in the retainList : [Dave, Peter]
