Parameters

Return

The above method is used to return the index of the given element which is returned by a call to previous. The method may return -1 if and only if the iterator is placed at the beginning of the list.

Example 1

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.ListIterator;
public class JavaListIteratorpreviousIndexExample1 {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
	   ArrayList < Character > characters = new ArrayList < Character > ();
   	characters.add('R');
   	characters.add('E');
   	characters.add('A');
   	characters.add('L');
ListIterator < Character > listIterator = characters.listIterator();
System.out.println("The letters are listed as : "+characters);
       System.out.println("The Previous Index is : " + listIterator.previousIndex());
       listIterator.next();   
       System.out.println("The Previous Index is : " + listIterator.previousIndex());
       listIterator.next();
       System.out.println("The Next Index is : " + listIterator.previousIndex());
       listIterator.next();
       System.out.println("The Next index is : " + listIterator.previousIndex());     
   }
}

Example 2

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.ListIterator;
public class JavaListIteratorpreviousIndexExample2 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
	  ArrayList < Long > number = new ArrayList < Long > ();
          number.add(34l);
          number.add(78l);
          number.add(57l);
	ListIterator < Long > listIterator = number.listIterator();
	System.out.println("The numbers are listed as : "+number);
	       System.out.println("The Previous Index is : " + listIterator.previousIndex());
	       listIterator.next();   
	       System.out.println("The Previous Index is : " + listIterator.previousIndex());
	       listIterator.next();
	       System.out.println("The Next Index is : " + listIterator.previousIndex());
  }
}
