You could make use of Java 8 Stream API and implement something like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
PaymentDetailsItem payment = new PaymentDetailsItem("test", "100.00", 10, "1");
PaymentDetailsItem payment2 = new PaymentDetailsItem("test number 2", "250.00", 10, "2");
List<PaymentDetailsItem> payments = new ArrayList<>();
payments.add(payment);
payments.add(payment2);
List<String> amounts = payments.stream().map(PaymentDetailsItem::getAmount).collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println("Here we have the extracted List of amounts: " + amounts);
String totalAmount = amounts.stream()
.reduce((amount1, amount2) -> String.valueOf(Float.valueOf(amount1) + Float.valueOf(amount2))).get();
System.out.println("Total amount obtained by using .reduce() upon the List of amounts: " + totalAmount);
System.out.println("Or you can do everything at once: " + payments.stream().map(PaymentDetailsItem::getAmount)
.reduce((amount1, amount2) -> String.valueOf(Float.valueOf(amount1) + Float.valueOf(amount2))).get());
}
Remember to implement the getter for the amount attribute.
