java 对象查找,如何在Java对象列表中搜索

I have a List of object and the list is very big. The object is

class Sample {

String value1;

String value2;

String value3;

String value4;

String value5;

}

Now I have to search for a specific value of an object in the list. Say if value3=='three' I have to return those objects (My search is not always based on value3)

The list is

List list = new ArrayList();

What is the efficient way of doing it?

Thanks.

There is a class CollectionUtils that allows you to select or filter items by custom Predicate.

Your code would be like this:

Predicate condition = new Predicate() {

boolean evaluate(Object sample) {

return ((Sample)sample).value3.equals("three");

}

};

List result = CollectionUtils.select( list, condition );

Update:

In java8, using Lambdas and StreamAPI this should be:

List result = list.stream()

.filter(item -> item.value3.equals("three"))

.collect(Collectors.toList());

much nicer!
