java 保存变量,将方法保存到变量java 8中

Is it possible to save a method into a variable?

I have a class which is called MyFilter and it filters Items on different fields.

The constructor of MyFilter should ask 2 things:

String, for example filter Items by language, "English"

This should be a method

for example:

I have an Item and I want to check if the language == String given to the filter

So I need to get the language of that Item, so Item.getLanguage()...

I also need it for Item.getTitle(), Item.getId() and so on.

I think this is possible with lambda's but I don't know how.

Yes, you can have a variable reference to any method. For simple methods it's usually enough to use java.util.function. classes. For complex methods you have to define your @FunctionalInterface with this method. Here's working example:

import java.util.ArrayList;

import java.util.List;

import java.util.function.Consumer;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

final Consumer simpleReference = Main::someMethod;

simpleReference.accept(1);

simpleReference.accept(2);

simpleReference.accept(3);

final ComplexInterface complexReference = Main::complexMethod;

final String complexResult = complexReference.someMethod("888", 321, new ArrayList<>());

System.out.println(complexResult);

}

private static void someMethod(int value) {

System.out.println(value);

}

private static String complexMethod(String stringValue, int intValue, List longList) {

final StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

builder.append(stringValue).append(" : ").append(intValue);

for (Long longValue : longList) {

builder.append(longValue);

}

return builder.toString();

}

@FunctionalInterface

public static interface ComplexInterface{

String someMethod(String stringValue, int intValue, List longList);

}

}
