要做到这一点，有几种方法，即:

返回单个元素出现次数的方法:

采集频率

Collections.frequency(animals, "bat");

Java流:

过滤器

animals.stream().filter("bat"::equals).count();

只是迭代思考列表

public static long manually(Collection<?> c, Object o){
    int count = 0;
    for(Object e : c)
        if(e.equals(o))
            count++;
    return count;
}

创建频率映射的方法:

Collectors.groupingBy

Map<String, Long> counts = 
       animals.stream()
              .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Function.identity(), Collectors.counting()));

走

Map<String, Long> map = new HashMap<>();
c.forEach(e -> map.merge(e, 1L, Long::sum));

手动

Map<String, Integer> mp = new HashMap<>();
        animals.forEach(animal -> mp.compute(animal, (k, v) -> (v == null) ? 1 : v + 1));

一个包含所有方法的运行示例:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.function.Function;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class Frequency {

    public static int frequency(Collection<?> c, Object o){
        return Collections.frequency(c, o);
    }

    public static long filter(Collection<?> c, Object o){
        return c.stream().filter(o::equals).count();
    }

    public static long manually(Collection<?> c, Object o){
        int count = 0;
        for(Object e : c)
            if(e.equals(o))
                count++;
        return count;
    }

    public static Map<?, Long> mapGroupBy(Collection<?> c){
        return c.stream()
                .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Function.identity() , Collectors.counting()));
    }

    public static Map<Object, Long> mapMerge(Collection<?> c){
        Map<Object, Long> map = new HashMap<>();
        c.forEach(e -> map.merge(e, 1L, Long::sum));
        return map;
    }

    public static Map<Object, Long> manualMap(Collection<?> c){
        Map<Object, Long> map = new HashMap<>();
        c.forEach(e -> map.compute(e, (k, v) -> (v == null) ? 1 : v + 1));
        return map;
    }


    public static void main(String[] args){
        List<String> animals = new ArrayList<>();
        animals.add("bat");
        animals.add("owl");
        animals.add("bat");
        animals.add("bat");

        System.out.println(frequency(animals, "bat"));
        System.out.println(filter(animals,"bat"));
        System.out.println(manually(animals,"bat"));
        mapGroupBy(animals).forEach((k, v) -> System.out.println(k + " -> "+v));
        mapMerge(animals).forEach((k, v) -> System.out.println(k + " -> "+v));
        manualMap(animals).forEach((k, v) -> System.out.println(k + " -> "+v));
    }
}

方法名称应该反映这些方法正在做什么，但是，我使用名称来反映所使用的方法(假设在当前上下文中这是可以的)。

将数组列表的元素放入hashMap中以计算频率。

Java中没有本地方法可以帮你做这些。但是，你可以使用Apache Commons-Collections中的IterableUtils#countMatches()来为你做这件事。

Map<String,Integer> hm = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
for(String i : animals) {
    Integer j = hm.get(i);
    hm.put(i,(j==null ? 1 : j+1));
}
for(Map.Entry<String, Integer> val : hm.entrySet()) {
    System.out.println(val.getKey()+" occurs : "+val.getValue()+" times");
}

直接从列表中获取对象的出现次数:

int noOfOccurs = Collections.frequency(animals, "bat");

要在列表中获取Object集合的出现情况，重写Object类中的equals方法如下:

@Override
public boolean equals(Object o){
    Animals e;
    if(!(o instanceof Animals)){
        return false;
    }else{
        e=(Animals)o;
        if(this.type==e.type()){
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Animals(int type){
    this.type = type;
}

调用Collections.frequency为:

int noOfOccurs = Collections.frequency(animals, new Animals(1));

实际上，Collections类有一个名为:frequency(Collection c, Object o)的静态方法，它返回你正在搜索的元素的出现次数，顺便说一下，这将为你完美地工作:

ArrayList<String> animals = new ArrayList<String>();
animals.add("bat");
animals.add("owl");
animals.add("bat");
animals.add("bat");
System.out.println("Freq of bat: "+Collections.frequency(animals, "bat"));
