java8之前的简单解决方案:

ArrayList<Item> filtered = new ArrayList<Item>(); 
for (Item item : items) if (condition(item)) filtered.add(item);

不幸的是，这个解决方案不是完全通用的，它输出的是一个列表，而不是给定集合的类型。此外，在我看来，引入库或编写函数来包装这段代码似乎有些过分，除非条件很复杂，但随后可以为该条件编写函数。

在Java 8中，您可以直接使用此过滤器方法，然后执行此操作。

 List<String> lines = Arrays.asList("java", "pramod", "example");

 List<String> result = lines.stream()              
         .filter(line -> !"pramod".equals(line))     
         .collect(Collectors.toList());              

 result.forEach(System.out::println); 

考虑使用支持泛型的更新的Collections框架谷歌Collections。

更新:谷歌集合库现在已弃用。你应该使用最新发布的番石榴。它仍然具有对集合框架的所有相同扩展，包括基于谓词进行筛选的机制。

从java 9开始收集。启用过滤:

public static <T, A, R>
    Collector<T, ?, R> filtering(Predicate<? super T> predicate,
                                 Collector<? super T, A, R> downstream)

因此过滤应该是:

collection.stream().collect(Collectors.filtering(predicate, collector))

例子:

List<Integer> oddNumbers = List.of(1, 19, 15, 10, -10).stream()
            .collect(Collectors.filtering(i -> i % 2 == 1, Collectors.toList()));

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();
  }
});

JFilter http://code.google.com/p/jfilter/最适合您的需求。

JFilter是一个简单、高性能的开源库，用于查询Java bean集合。

关键特性

Support of collection (java.util.Collection, java.util.Map and Array) properties. Support of collection inside collection of any depth. Support of inner queries. Support of parameterized queries. Can filter 1 million records in few 100 ms. Filter ( query) is given in simple json format, it is like Mangodb queries. Following are some examples. { "id":{"$le":"10"} where object id property is less than equals to 10. { "id": {"$in":["0", "100"]}} where object id property is 0 or 100. {"lineItems":{"lineAmount":"1"}} where lineItems collection property of parameterized type has lineAmount equals to 1. { "$and":[{"id": "0"}, {"billingAddress":{"city":"DEL"}}]} where id property is 0 and billingAddress.city property is DEL. {"lineItems":{"taxes":{ "key":{"code":"GST"}, "value":{"$gt": "1.01"}}}} where lineItems collection property of parameterized type which has taxes map type property of parameteriszed type has code equals to GST value greater than 1.01. {'$or':[{'code':'10'},{'skus': {'$and':[{'price':{'$in':['20', '40']}}, {'code':'RedApple'}]}}]} Select all products where product code is 10 or sku price in 20 and 40 and sku code is "RedApple".
