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);
...
}

使用java-8流api，你可以对数组列表进行排序:
Comparator<Person> birthdayComparator = Comparator.comparing(Person::getBirthday);
List<Person> sortedList = list.stream().sorted(birthdayComparator).collect(toList());
其他回答
是的，你可以。比较项有两个选项，Comparable接口和Comparator接口。
这两个接口都允许不同的行为。Comparable允许您使对象的行为与您刚刚描述的String类似(实际上，String实现了Comparable)。第二个，Comparator，允许你做你要求做的事情。你会这样做:
Collections.sort(myArrayList, new MyComparator());
这将导致收集。方法来使用比较器的排序机制。如果数组列表中的对象实现了可比性，你可以这样做:
Collections.sort(myArrayList);
Collections类包含许多这些有用的常用工具。
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.Date;
public class test {
public static class Person {
public String name;
public int id;
public Date hireDate;
public Person(String iname, int iid, Date ihireDate) {
name = iname;
id = iid;
hireDate = ihireDate;
}
public String toString() {
return name + " " + id + " " + hireDate.toString();
}
// Comparator
public static class CompId implements Comparator<Person> {
@Override
public int compare(Person arg0, Person arg1) {
return arg0.id - arg1.id;
}
}
public static class CompDate implements Comparator<Person> {
private int mod = 1;
public CompDate(boolean desc) {
if (desc) mod =-1;
}
@Override
public int compare(Person arg0, Person arg1) {
return mod*arg0.hireDate.compareTo(arg1.hireDate);
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
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")));
people.add(new Person("Joee", 24922, df.parse("12-2-2010")));
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
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());
}
Collections.sort(people, new Person.CompDate(true));
System.out.println("BY Date desc");
for (Person p : people) {
System.out.println(p.toString());
}
}
}
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?

1.8以来的新功能是一个List.sort()方法，而不是使用Collection.sort() 直接调用mylistcontainer。sort()
下面是一个演示List.sort()特性的代码片段:
List<Fruit> fruits = new ArrayList<Fruit>();
fruits.add(new Fruit("Kiwi","green",40));
fruits.add(new Fruit("Banana","yellow",100));
fruits.add(new Fruit("Apple","mixed green,red",120));
fruits.add(new Fruit("Cherry","red",10));
// a) using an existing compareto() method
fruits.sort((Fruit f1,Fruit f2) -> f1.getFruitName().compareTo(f2.getFruitName()));
System.out.println("Using String.compareTo(): " + fruits);
//Using String.compareTo(): [Apple is: mixed green,red, Banana is: yellow, Cherry is: red, Kiwi is: green]
// b) Using a comparable class
fruits.sort((Fruit f1,Fruit f2) -> f1.compareTo(f2));
System.out.println("Using a Comparable Fruit class (sort by color): " + fruits);
// Using a Comparable Fruit class (sort by color): [Kiwi is green, Apple is: mixed green,red, Cherry is: red, Banana is: yellow]
Fruit类是:
public class Fruit implements Comparable<Fruit>
{
private String name;
private String color;
private int quantity;
public Fruit(String name,String color,int quantity)
{ this.name = name; this.color = color; this.quantity = quantity; }
public String getFruitName() { return name; }
public String getColor() { return color; }
public int getQuantity() { return quantity; }
@Override public final int compareTo(Fruit f) // sorting the color
{
return this.color.compareTo(f.color);
}
@Override public String toString()
{
return (name + " is: " + color);
}
} // end of Fruit class
使用java-8流api，你可以对数组列表进行排序:
Comparator<Person> birthdayComparator = Comparator.comparing(Person::getBirthday);
List<Person> sortedList = list.stream().sorted(birthdayComparator).collect(toList());
