How to cleat this issue .. Advance thanx dude

Answer 1

Change

List<String> historylist = Arrays.asList(history);

to

 List<String> historylist = new LinkedList (Arrays.asList(history));

and see this post why this error occur in case of List :

Why do I get an UnsupportedOperationException when trying to remove an element from a List?

Answer 2

You cannot add or remove elements from the list returned by Arrays.asList because the list is backed by the original array. To create a list that you can modify, you can do this:

List<String> historylist = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(history));
