我读过关于使用比较器排序数组列表的内容,但在所有的例子中,人们都使用了compareTo,根据一些研究,它是字符串的一种方法。

我想根据自定义对象的一个属性(Date对象)对其数组列表进行排序 (getStartDay())。通常我通过item1.getStartDate().before(item2.getStartDate())比较它们,所以我想知道我是否可以写一些像这样的东西:

public class CustomComparator {
    public boolean compare(Object object1, Object object2) {
        return object1.getStartDate().before(object2.getStartDate());
    }
}

public class RandomName {
    ...
    Collections.sort(Database.arrayList, new CustomComparator);
    ...
}

好吧,如果你使用Java 8或更老的版本,这里是最好的解决方案。

Collections.sort(studentList, Comparator.comparing(Student::getCgpa).reversed().thenComparing(Student:: getFname).thenComparing(Student::getId));

在这种情况下,它将首先使用'getCgpa'进行排序,对于第二部分,它将使用getFname和getId进行排序。这是场进入pojo类。

你的customComparator类必须实现java.util.Comparator才能被使用。 它还必须覆盖compare() AND equals()

compare()必须回答这个问题:对象1是否小于、等于或大于对象2?

完整文档:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html

你可以试试番石榴点菜:

Function<Item, Date> getStartDate = new Function<Item, Date>() {
    public Date apply(Item item) {
        return item.getStartDate();
    }
};

List<Item> orderedItems = Ordering.natural().onResultOf(getStartDate).
                          sortedCopy(items);

您可以使用Bean Comparator对自定义类中的任何属性进行排序。

具有自然排序顺序的类(例如类Number)应该实现Comparable接口,而没有自然排序顺序的类(例如类Chair)应该提供Comparator(或匿名Comparator类)。

两个例子:

public class Number implements Comparable<Number> {
    private int value;

    public Number(int value) { this.value = value; }
    public int compareTo(Number anotherInstance) {
        return this.value - anotherInstance.value;
    }
}

public class Chair {
    private int weight;
    private int height;

    public Chair(int weight, int height) {
        this.weight = weight;
        this.height = height;
    }
    /* Omitting getters and setters */
}
class ChairWeightComparator implements Comparator<Chair> {
    public int compare(Chair chair1, Chair chair2) {
        return chair1.getWeight() - chair2.getWeight();
    }
}
class ChairHeightComparator implements Comparator<Chair> {
    public int compare(Chair chair1, Chair chair2) {
        return chair1.getHeight() - chair2.getHeight();
    }
}

用法:

List<Number> numbers = new ArrayList<Number>();
...
Collections.sort(numbers);

List<Chair> chairs = new ArrayList<Chair>();
// Sort by weight:
Collections.sort(chairs, new ChairWeightComparator());
// Sort by height:
Collections.sort(chairs, new ChairHeightComparator());

// You can also create anonymous comparators;
// Sort by color:
Collections.sort(chairs, new Comparator<Chair>() {
    public int compare(Chair chair1, Chair chair2) {
        ...
    }
});
