How to sort an ArrayList?

Question

I have a List of doubles in java and I want to sort ArrayList in descending order.

Input ArrayList is as below:

List testList = new Arr         


        

Answer 1

//Here is sorted List alphabetically with syncronized

package com.mnas.technology.automation.utility;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

/**
 * @author manoj.kumar
 */
public class SynchronizedArrayList {
    static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(SynchronizedArrayList.class.getName());

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List synchronizedList = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList());
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Aditya"));
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Siddharth"));
        synchronizedList.add(new Employee("Manoj"));
        Collections.sort(synchronizedList, new Comparator() {
            public int compare(Object synchronizedListOne, Object synchronizedListTwo) {
                //use instanceof to verify the references are indeed of the type in question
                return ((Employee) synchronizedListOne).name
                        .compareTo(((Employee) synchronizedListTwo).name);
            }
        }); 
    /*for( Employee sd : synchronizedList) {
    log.info("Sorted Synchronized Array List..."+sd.name);
    }*/

        // when iterating over a synchronized list, we need to synchronize access to the synchronized list
        synchronized (synchronizedList) {
            Iterator iterator = synchronizedList.iterator();
            while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                log.info("Sorted Synchronized Array List Items: " + iterator.next().name);
            }
        }

    }
}

class Employee {
    String name;

    Employee(String name) {
        this.name = name;

    }
}
