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);
    ...
}

当前回答

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?

java8 lambda表达式

Collections.sort(studList, (Student s1, Student s2) ->{
        return s1.getFirstName().compareToIgnoreCase(s2.getFirstName());
});

OR

Comparator<Student> c = (s1, s2) -> s1.firstName.compareTo(s2.firstName);
studList.sort(c)

public static class Person {

    SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("mm-dd-yyyy");
    ArrayList<Person> people;
    people = new ArrayList<Person>();
    try {
        people.add(new Person("Joe", 92422, df.parse("12-12-2010")));
        people.add(new Person("Joef", 24122, df.parse("1-12-2010")));

    Collections.sort(people, new Person.CompId());
    System.out.println("BY ID");
    for (Person p : people) {
        System.out.println(p.toString());
    }

    Collections.sort(people, new Person.CompDate(false));
    System.out.println("BY Date asc");
    for (Person p : people) {
        System.out.println(p.toString());

}

如果你想要排序的(嵌套的)属性只有String属性路径,你也可以使用Springs PropertyComparator:

List<SomeObject> list = ...;
PropertyComparator<HitWithInfo> propertyComparator = new PropertyComparator<>(
    "property.nested.myProperty", false, true);
list.sort(propertyComparator);

缺点是,这个比较器会默默地忽略不存在或不可访问的属性,并将其作为空值进行比较。这意味着,您应该仔细测试这样的比较器,或者以某种方式验证属性路径的存在。

使用Java 8可以在一行中使用Comparator. comparison()定义比较器

使用以下任何一种方式:

选项1:

listToBeSorted.sort(Comparator.comparing(CustomObject::getStartDate));

选项2:

Collections.sort(listToBeSorted, Comparator.comparing(CustomObject::getStartDate));
