Android java custom sorting using Comparable

Question

  @Override
      public int compareTo(final myRow another) {

        final int BEFORE    =-1;
        final int EQUAL     = 0;
        final int AFTER     = 1;

           


        

Answer 1

my code now :

  public enum user_type {USER_TYPE_FRIEND(1), USER_TYPE_NORMAL(2), USER_TYPE_BANNED(3);
      private final int order;
      user_type(int order) {
          this.order = order;
      }
      public int getOrder() {
          return this.order;
      }
  }

...

  @Override
  public int compareTo(final myRow another) {

    if (sorttype==sort_type.SORT_ABC) {
        if (this.getUserType().equals(another.getUserType())) {
            return this.getRow().toLowerCase().compareTo(another.getRow().toLowerCase());
        } else {
            return this.getUserType().compareTo(another.getUserType());
        }
    } 
    else {
        //LOGINTIME
        return this.getUserType().compareTo(another.getUserType());
    }
  }

Thanks, Sanjay!
