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);
...
}
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
您的自定义类可以实现“Comparable”接口,这需要CompareTo方法的实现。在CompareTo方法中,您可以定义一个对象小于或大于另一个对象意味着什么。所以在你的例子中,它看起来是这样的:
public class MyCustomClass implements Comparable<MyCustomClass>{
..........
@Override
public int compareTo(MyCustomClass a) {
if(this.getStartDate().before(a.getStartDate())){
return -1;
}else if(a.getStartDate().before(this.getStartDate())){
return 1;
}else {
return 0;
}
}
负数表示它小于与之比较的对象。正数表示这比对象的比较大,零表示对象相等。
然后,可以使用collections.sort(myList)对列表进行排序,而不必输入比较器。如果使用TreeSet或TreeMap等已排序的集合数据结构,则此方法还具有自动排序的优点。

从Java 8开始,我们不需要直接使用Collections.sort()。List接口有一个默认的sort()方法:
List<User> users = Arrays.asList(user1,user2,user3);
users.sort( (u1, u2) -> {
return u1.getFirstName.compareTo(u2.getFirstName());});
