Solved Looping Through a String List Backwards?

Code (Java):

Collections.reverse(List)

the intention is to delete the last item, however, to do so, he is using the same mechanics you'd use for your issue as well. (at least how you specified it)

 

Lol! Who cares what the end goal is. The method to get there is in line with your interests. Look how they iterated backwards and you'll learn how to do it too.

Imagine you want to learn to fly a plane. Someone is trying to show you how, but you ignore them because they're flying to Spain and your plan is to fly to China. Thats how you're acting here.. :S

 

what about this:

Code (Java):

for(int i = yourlist.size(); i > 0; i--){
  yourlist.get(i);
}

 

In this case I hope the List is either small or it implements RandomAccess for the performance
Yeah, I'm a performance-nerd, I'm sorry, move on.

 

Quoting it here such as I think you aren't able to see it:
List iterators can be used to iterate your list backwards, too -- like this:

Code (Text):

ListIterator<String> listIter = myList.listIterator(myList.size());
while (listIter.hasPrevious()) {
    String prev = listIter.previous();
    // Do something with prev here
}

The initial index of the iterator should be equal to the index of the last element + 1. As the docs say: "An initial call to previous would return the element with the specified index minus one."

 

@Xearox gave you code to iterate backwards through a list while keeping the original order intact, Why can't you get the list from the config using

Code (Java):

getConfig().getStringList(/*Parameters*/)

 

I have a strange feeling you have no idea about what you're doing.

Save the list of 'messages' to a List, and reverse that list (if you really wish to do it that way..) BEFORE iterating over it.
I'd still suggest doing it the way either @Xearox (preferably) or @F8te suggested, they might very well be more efficient.

 

Why

Code (Text):

i > 0

You will skip over the first index of 0. You mean

Code (Text):

i >= 0

 

I don't think you know what you're doing lol, StringList returns a List what stops you from doing List#size and using List#get. I suggest you should learn some java before jumping into the bukkit api
