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);
    ...
}

JAVA 8最简单的方法是英文字母排序

类的实现

public class NewspaperClass implements Comparable<NewspaperClass>{
   public String name;

   @Override
   public int compareTo(NewspaperClass another) {
      return name.compareTo(another.name);
   }
}

Sort

  Collections.sort(Your List);

如果你想为包含非英语字符的字母排序,你可以使用Locale…下面代码使用土耳其字符排序…

类的实现

public class NewspaperClass implements Comparator<NewspaperClass> {
   public String name;
   public Boolean isUserNewspaper=false;
   private Collator trCollator = Collator.getInstance(new Locale("tr_TR"));



   @Override
   public int compare(NewspaperClass lhs, NewspaperClass rhs) {
      trCollator.setStrength(Collator.PRIMARY);
      return trCollator.compare(lhs.name,rhs.name);
   }
}

Sort

Collections.sort(your array list,new NewspaperClass());

其他回答

对于数组列表的排序,你可以使用下面的代码片段:

Collections.sort(studList, new Comparator<Student>(){
    public int compare(Student s1, Student s2) {
        return s1.getFirstName().compareToIgnoreCase(s2.getFirstName());
    }
});

Java 8 Lambda缩短了排序。

Collections.sort(stdList, (o1, o2) -> o1.getName().compareTo(o2.getName()));

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) {
        ...
    }
});

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?

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);
