Method Overloading in java - using List Type [duplicate]

Question

class Value {
    public void method1(List<Integer> intList) {

    }

    public void method1(List<Double> doubleList) {

    }

}

Not able to use function overloading in the above two methods.

This looks like both the methods are taking List as a parameter. Is there a way to differentiate the parameters on the data type of Lists?

This is the error message:

Erasure of method method1(List<Integer>) is the same as another method in type Value

Is there any other way through which I can use overloading here?

Answer 1

You cannot declare more than one method with the same name and the same number and type of arguments, because the compiler cannot tell them apart. See oracle docs.
