Android List中带有时间String字段的排序

主界面：

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
	private ListView mListView = null;
	private List<TestDate> mList = null;
 
	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
		mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.main_listView);
		mList = new ArrayList<TestDate>();
		initData();

        //对mList数组的数据按data字段升序
		Collections.sort(mList, new Comparator<TestDate>() {
			/**
			 * 
			 * @param lhs
			 * @param rhs
			 * @return an integer < 0 if lhs is less than rhs, 0 if they are
			 *         equal, and > 0 if lhs is greater than rhs,比较数据大小时,这里比的是时间
			 */
			@Override
			public int compare(TestDate lhs, TestDate rhs) {
				Date date1 = DateUtil.stringToDate(lhs.getDate());
				Date date2 = DateUtil.stringToDate(rhs.getDate());
				// 对日期字段进行升序，如果欲降序可采用after方法
				if (date1.before(date2)) {
					return 1;
				}
				return -1;
			}
		});
		mListView.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(this, mList));
	}
 
	private void initData() {
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-12 12:30:01", "zhangsan"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-12 10:20:02", "lisi"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-11 10:21:33", "lisi"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-11 10:20:12", "lisi"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-13 01:03:24", "wangwu"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-10 02:04:35", "zhaoliu"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-15 23:00:05", "tianqi"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-11-12 22:30:54", "wangwu"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-17 08:24:33", "shimei"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-11-10 11:10:22", "shisanmei"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-18 16:50:17", "wangan"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-19 18:00:46", "wangjiu"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-20 19:30:45", "wusi"));
		mList.add(new TestDate("2012-12-20 19:30:34", "wusi"));
	}
}

工具类：//用来转换时间格式

public class DateUtil {
 
	public static Date stringToDate(String dateString) {
		ParsePosition position = new ParsePosition(0);
		SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
		Date dateValue = simpleDateFormat.parse(dateString, position);
		return dateValue;
	}
 
}

实体类：

public class TestDate {
	
	private String date;
	private String name;
 
	public String getDate() {
		return date;
	}
 
	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}
 
	public TestDate(String date, String name) {
		this.date = date;
		this.name = name;
	}
 
}
