How to get last item in ArrayList

Question

I'm trying to get the last added item in an ArrayList to compare it to the next item I'm about to add to it. If they are equal, continue. Like:

if (stringArray.get(stringArray.IndexOfLastItemAdded()) == compareLastItemToThis) {
    continue;
}
else {
    stringArray.add(compareLastItemToThis);
}

I know IndexOfLastItemAdded doesn't exist, but is there something similar to it?

Also note that you can not compare strings using the `==` operator. Rather, use `equals( compareListItemToThis )`. — 323go, Apr 10 '14 at 02:09

I think you mean stringArray.get(stringArray.size() - 1) – Jason Apr 10 '14 at 01:55
