Java count occurrence of each item in an array

Question

Is there any method for counting the occurrence of each item on an array?

Lets say I have:

String[] array = {"name1","name2","name3","name4", "name5"};

Here the output will be:

name1 1
name2 1
name3 1
name4 1
name5 1

and if I have:

String[] array = {"name1","name1","name2","name2", "name2"};

The output would be:

name1 2
name2 3

The output here is just to demonstrate the expected result.

Answer 1

List asList = Arrays.asList(array);
Set<String> mySet = new HashSet<String>(asList);

for(String s: mySet){
 System.out.println(s + " " + Collections.frequency(asList,s));
}
