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);
...
}

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?

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) {
...
}
});
您可以使用Bean Comparator对自定义类中的任何属性进行排序。
我更喜欢这个过程:
public class SortUtil
{
public static <T> List<T> sort(List<T> list, String sortByProperty)
{
Collections.sort(list, new BeanComparator(sortByProperty));
return list;
}
}
List<T> sortedList = SortUtil<T>.sort(unsortedList, "startDate");
如果你的对象列表有一个名为startDate的属性，你可以反复使用这个属性。你甚至可以链接它们startDate.time。
这要求你的对象是Comparable的，这意味着你需要一个compareTo, equals和hashCode实现。
是的，可以更快……但是现在你不必为每一种类型的排序创建一个新的Comparator。如果您可以节省开发时间并放弃运行时，您可能会选择这个。
使用这个库，您可以对自定义对象列表进行多列排序。该库使用8.0版本的特性。样品也可在那里。这里有一个要做的示例
SortKeys sortKeys = new SortKeys();
sortKeys.addField("firstName")
.addField("age", true); // This (true) will sort the age descending
// Other ways to specify a property to the sorter are
// .addField("lastName", String.class);
// .addField("dob", Date.class, true);
// Instantiate a ListSorter
ListSorter listSorter = new ListSorter();
// Pass the data to sort (listToSort) and the "by keys" to sort (sortKeys)
List sortedList = (List<Person>) listSorter.sortList(listToSort, sortKeys);
