“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。

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?

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".

让我们看看如何使用Eclipse Collections筛选内置JDK List和MutableList。

List<Integer> jdkList = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
MutableList<Integer> ecList = Lists.mutable.with(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

如果希望过滤小于3的数字，则会得到以下输出。

List<Integer> selected = Lists.mutable.with(1, 2);
List<Integer> rejected = Lists.mutable.with(3, 4, 5);

下面介绍如何使用Java 8 lambda作为Predicate进行筛选。

Assert.assertEquals(selected, Iterate.select(jdkList, each -> each < 3));
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, Iterate.reject(jdkList, each -> each < 3));

Assert.assertEquals(selected, ecList.select(each -> each < 3));
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, ecList.reject(each -> each < 3));

下面介绍如何使用匿名内部类作为Predicate进行筛选。

Predicate<Integer> lessThan3 = new Predicate<Integer>()
{
    public boolean accept(Integer each)
    {
        return each < 3;
    }
};

Assert.assertEquals(selected, Iterate.select(jdkList, lessThan3));
Assert.assertEquals(selected, ecList.select(lessThan3));

下面是一些使用Predicates工厂过滤JDK列表和Eclipse Collections mutabllists的替代方案。

Assert.assertEquals(selected, Iterate.select(jdkList, Predicates.lessThan(3)));
Assert.assertEquals(selected, ecList.select(Predicates.lessThan(3)));

下面是一个不为谓词分配对象的版本，而是使用Predicates2工厂，并使用selectWith方法接受Predicate2。

Assert.assertEquals(
    selected, ecList.selectWith(Predicates2.<Integer>lessThan(), 3));

有时你想过滤一个消极的条件。在Eclipse Collections中有一个特殊的方法叫做reject。

Assert.assertEquals(rejected, Iterate.reject(jdkList, lessThan3));
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, ecList.reject(lessThan3));

方法分区将返回两个集合，包含Predicate选择和拒绝的元素。

PartitionIterable<Integer> jdkPartitioned = Iterate.partition(jdkList, lessThan3);
Assert.assertEquals(selected, jdkPartitioned.getSelected());
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, jdkPartitioned.getRejected());

PartitionList<Integer> ecPartitioned = gscList.partition(lessThan3);
Assert.assertEquals(selected, ecPartitioned.getSelected());
Assert.assertEquals(rejected, ecPartitioned.getRejected());

注意:我是Eclipse Collections的提交者。

使用来自Apache Commons的CollectionUtils.filter(Collection,Predicate)。

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();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
