 for(HomeScreenChatsHelper str : mChats)

There are a ton of tutorials on how to do it and I've spent the past week looking for a solution and I still don't have it. Is there anyway I can remove an whole object by just specifying just the ID? I wont have the values of all the other fields so I just want to remove a particular object by its ID. Also I cant use the clear option because I need the other data. So can someone help me out please?

With the present code nothing happens. No errors but doesn't work

By using java-8 you can filter the list, result will be the List<HomeScreenChatsHelper> that does have HomeScreenChatsHelper with same id

List<HomeScreenChatsHelper> mChats = new ArrayList<>();

//filter
List<HomeScreenChatsHelper> result = mChats.stream()
 .filter(str->!str.getId().equals(Id)).
 .collect(Collectors.toList());

Or by using Iterator

// Iterator.remove() 
 Iterator itr = mChats.iterator(); 
 while (itr.hasNext()) 
 
 HomeScreenChatsHelper x = itr.next(); 
 if (x.getId().equals(Id)) 
 itr.remove(); 
 }
 } 

Your question is quite unclear. is mChats a List containing HomeScreenChatsHelper objects?
I assume so. If this is the case, then you can change your foreach loop into the normal loop

//Assuming mChats is List e.g ArrayList
for (int i = 0; mChats.size(); i++)
 if (mChats.get(i).getID().equals(ID)) 
 mChats.remove(i);
 break;
 
 

The easiest way in Java 8 or later is with Collection#removeIf:

mChats.removeIf(str -> str.getID().equals(ID));

By the way, the convention in Java is for fields to begin with a lowercase letter.
