设置:

public interface Predicate<T> {
  public boolean filter(T t);
}

void filterCollection(Collection<T> col, Predicate<T> predicate) {
  for (Iterator i = col.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
    T obj = i.next();
    if (predicate.filter(obj)) {
      i.remove();
    }
  }
}

的用法:

List<MyObject> myList = ...;
filterCollection(myList, new Predicate<MyObject>() {
  public boolean filter(MyObject obj) {
    return obj.shouldFilter();
  }
});

Java 8(2014)在一行代码中使用流和lambdas解决了这个问题:

List<Person> beerDrinkers = persons.stream()
    .filter(p -> p.getAge() > 16).collect(Collectors.toList());

这是一个教程。

使用Collection#removeIf在适当的地方修改集合。(注意:在这种情况下，谓词将删除满足谓词的对象):

persons.removeIf(p -> p.getAge() <= 16);

Lambdaj允许在不编写循环或内部类的情况下过滤集合:

List<Person> beerDrinkers = select(persons, having(on(Person.class).getAge(),
    greaterThan(16)));

你能想象出更有可读性的东西吗?

免责声明:我是lambdaj的贡献者

这里有一些非常棒的答案。对我来说，我想让事情尽可能简单易懂:

public abstract class AbstractFilter<T> {

    /**
     * Method that returns whether an item is to be included or not.
     * @param item an item from the given collection.
     * @return true if this item is to be included in the collection, false in case it has to be removed.
     */
    protected abstract boolean excludeItem(T item);

    public void filter(Collection<T> collection) {
        if (CollectionUtils.isNotEmpty(collection)) {
            Iterator<T> iterator = collection.iterator();
            while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                if (excludeItem(iterator.next())) {
                    iterator.remove();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

“最好”这个要求太宽泛了。它是“最短的”吗?“最快”?“可读”? 过滤器的地方或到另一个集合?

最简单(但不是最易读)的方法是迭代它，并使用Iterator.remove()方法:

Iterator<Foo> it = col.iterator();
while( it.hasNext() ) {
  Foo foo = it.next();
  if( !condition(foo) ) it.remove();
}

现在，为了使其更具可读性，可以将其包装到实用程序方法中。然后发明一个IPredicate接口，创建该接口的匿名实现，并执行如下操作:

CollectionUtils.filterInPlace(col,
  new IPredicate<Foo>(){
    public boolean keepIt(Foo foo) {
      return foo.isBar();
    }
  });

where filterInPlace()迭代集合并调用Predicate.keepIt()来了解实例是否保留在集合中。

我真的没有看到为这项任务引入第三方库的正当理由。

支持不同的可能性，

给定的集合,

Collection<Dto> testList = new ArrayList<>();

的类型,

class Dto
{
    private int id;
    private String text;

    public int getId()
    {
        return id;
    }

    public int getText()
    {
        return text;
    }
}

过滤器

Java 7

Filter<Dto> query = CQ.<Dto>filter(testList)
    .where()
    .property("id").eq().value(1);
Collection<Dto> filtered = query.list();

Java 8

Filter<Dto> query = CQ.<Dto>filter(testList)
    .where()
    .property(Dto::getId)
    .eq().value(1);
Collection<Dto> filtered = query.list();

同时,

Filter<Dto> query = CQ.<Dto>filter()
        .from(testList)
        .where()
        .property(Dto::getId).between().value(1).value(2)
        .and()
        .property(Dto::grtText).in().value(new string[]{"a","b"});

排序(也可用于Java 7)

Filter<Dto> query = CQ.<Dto>filter(testList)
        .orderBy()
        .property(Dto::getId)
        .property(Dto::getName)
    Collection<Dto> sorted = query.list();

分组(也可用于Java 7)

GroupQuery<Integer,Dto> query = CQ.<Dto,Dto>query(testList)
        .group()
        .groupBy(Dto::getId)
    Collection<Grouping<Integer,Dto>> grouped = query.list();

连接(也可用于Java 7)

考虑到,

class LeftDto
{
    private int id;
    private String text;

    public int getId()
    {
        return id;
    }

    public int getText()
    {
        return text;
    }
}

class RightDto
{
    private int id;
    private int leftId;
    private String text;

    public int getId()
    {
        return id;
    }

    public int getLeftId()
        {
            return leftId;
        }

    public int getText()
    {
        return text;
    }
}

class JoinedDto
{
    private int leftId;
    private int rightId;
    private String text;

    public JoinedDto(int leftId,int rightId,String text)
    {
        this.leftId = leftId;
        this.rightId = rightId;
        this.text = text;
    }

    public int getLeftId()
    {
        return leftId;
    }

    public int getRightId()
        {
            return rightId;
        }

    public int getText()
    {
        return text;
    }
}

Collection<LeftDto> leftList = new ArrayList<>();

Collection<RightDto> rightList = new ArrayList<>();

可以像这样连接，

Collection<JoinedDto> results = CQ.<LeftDto, LeftDto>query().from(leftList)
                .<RightDto, JoinedDto>innerJoin(CQ.<RightDto, RightDto>query().from(rightList))
                .on(LeftFyo::getId, RightDto::getLeftId)
                .transformDirect(selection ->  new JoinedDto(selection.getLeft().getText()
                                                     , selection.getLeft().getId()
                                                     , selection.getRight().getId())
                                 )
                .list();

表达式

Filter<Dto> query = CQ.<Dto>filter()
    .from(testList)
    .where()
    .exec(s -> s.getId() + 1).eq().value(2);

我写了一个扩展的Iterable类，它支持在不复制集合内容的情况下应用函数式算法。

用法:

List<Integer> myList = new ArrayList<Integer>(){ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

Iterable<Integer> filtered = Iterable.wrap(myList).select(new Predicate1<Integer>()
{
    public Boolean call(Integer n) throws FunctionalException
    {
        return n % 2 == 0;
    }
})

for( int n : filtered )
{
    System.out.println(n);
}

上面的代码将实际执行

for( int n : myList )
{
    if( n % 2 == 0 ) 
    {
        System.out.println(n);
    }
}
