    <p>I have two ArrayLists, each holding blocks of certain size: blockList, eraserList. Blocks are objects with two fields: start and end. I need to subtract one set of blocks from the other set of blocks. </p> <p>I must walk through the eraserList and "erase" blocks out of the blockList where they overlap. Thus my code looks like:</p> <pre><code> void eraseBlocks (Arrylist&lt;Blocks&gt; blockList, ArrayList&lt;Blocks&gt; eraserList) { ListIterator&lt;Blocks&gt; it = blockList.listIterator(); for (Blocks eraser: eraserList) { while (it.hasNext()) { Blocks block= it.next(); if ((eraser.start &lt;= block.start) &amp;&amp; (eraser.end &gt;= block.end)) blockList.remove(block); else if ((eraser.start &lt;= block.start) &amp;&amp; (eraser.end &lt; block.end)){ block.set(start, eraser.end); else if () { ... //more code for where the eraser partially erases the beginning, end, or splits the block //if statements call the .add(), .set(), and remove() methods on the blockList. ... } } } </code></pre> <p>I don't understand why I am getting a Concurrent Modification Exception. I never modify the eraserList. </p> <p>I am trying to modify the block object that is assigned in the "Block block = it.next();" statement. I am also modifying the blockList by removing or adding blocks to the list. I thought the whole point of the ListIterator was that it allowed you to modify, add, or subtract a list you are walking through.</p> <p>The Failure Trace points to the Blocks eraser = it.next(); as the line drawing the exception, but I don't know what that is telling me.</p> <p>Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COYou are modifying blockList though... the only modification you are allowed to do with an iterator is call it.remove(), which removes the current item from the list. Any action on the list itself will cause the concurrent modification exception.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
