等待Java 8:

List<Person> olderThan30 = 
  //Create a Stream from the personList
  personList.stream().
  //filter the element to select only those with age >= 30
  filter(p -> p.age >= 30).
  //put those filtered elements into a new List.
  collect(Collectors.toList());

使用集合查询引擎(CQEngine)。这是目前为止最快的方法。

请参见:如何在Java中查询对象集合(Criteria/SQL-like)?

您可以使用ForEach DSL编写

import static ch.akuhn.util.query.Query.select;
import static ch.akuhn.util.query.Query.$result;
import ch.akuhn.util.query.Select;

Collection<String> collection = ...

for (Select<String> each : select(collection)) {
    each.yield = each.value.length() > 3;
}

Collection<String> result = $result();

给定一个集合[The, quick, brown, fox, jumping, over, The, lazy, dog]，结果是[quick, brown, jumping, over, lazy]，即所有字符串都长于三个字符。

ForEach DSL支持的所有迭代样式都是

我将把RxJava加入其中，它在Android上也可用。RxJava可能并不总是最好的选择，但如果您希望在集合上添加更多转换或在过滤时处理错误，RxJava将为您提供更大的灵活性。

Observable.from(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
    .filter(new Func1<Integer, Boolean>() {
        public Boolean call(Integer i) {
            return i % 2 != 0;
        }
    })
    .subscribe(new Action1<Integer>() {
        public void call(Integer i) {
            System.out.println(i);
        }
    });

输出:

1
3
5

我需要根据列表中已经存在的值来筛选列表。例如，删除后面小于当前值的所有值。{2 5 3 4 7 5} ->{2 5 7}。或者例如删除所有重复项{3 5 4 2 3 5 6}->{3 5 4 2 6}。

public class Filter {
    public static <T> void List(List<T> list, Chooser<T> chooser) {
        List<Integer> toBeRemoved = new ArrayList<>();
        leftloop:
        for (int right = 1; right < list.size(); ++right) {
            for (int left = 0; left < right; ++left) {
                if (toBeRemoved.contains(left)) {
                    continue;
                }
                Keep keep = chooser.choose(list.get(left), list.get(right));
                switch (keep) {
                    case LEFT:
                        toBeRemoved.add(right);
                        continue leftloop;
                    case RIGHT:
                        toBeRemoved.add(left);
                        break;
                    case NONE:
                        toBeRemoved.add(left);
                        toBeRemoved.add(right);
                        continue leftloop;
                }
            }
        }

        Collections.sort(toBeRemoved, new Comparator<Integer>() {
            @Override
            public int compare(Integer o1, Integer o2) {
                return o2 - o1;
            }
        });

        for (int i : toBeRemoved) {
            if (i >= 0 && i < list.size()) {
                list.remove(i);
            }
        }
    }

    public static <T> void List(List<T> list, Keeper<T> keeper) {
        Iterator<T> iterator = list.iterator();
        while (iterator.hasNext()) {
            if (!keeper.keep(iterator.next())) {
                iterator.remove();
            }
        }
    }

    public interface Keeper<E> {
        boolean keep(E obj);
    }

    public interface Chooser<E> {
        Keep choose(E left, E right);
    }

    public enum Keep {
        LEFT, RIGHT, BOTH, NONE;
    }
}

这将被这样使用。

List<String> names = new ArrayList<>();
names.add("Anders");
names.add("Stefan");
names.add("Anders");
Filter.List(names, new Filter.Chooser<String>() {
    @Override
    public Filter.Keep choose(String left, String right) {
        return left.equals(right) ? Filter.Keep.LEFT : Filter.Keep.BOTH;
    }
});

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);
    }
}
