问题
I have implemented a chat function in my app and it's working fine, only problem is that now I want the chats to be ordered by timestamp, so that the newest ones come first and the oldest come last. I have tried doing so using Comparator, but for some reason it's not working and I am not sure how to fix it.
Below you have my MessageActivity where I save the chats to the Firebase, and my ChatFragment that contains the ArrayList for the chats. The chats are appearing there, but I can't get them by any means to rearrange themselves and get in order by Timestamp.
Someone mind telling me how to fix this?
ChatFragment
public class ChatsFragment extends Fragment {
private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private UserAdapterChat mUserAdapterChat;
private List<User> mUsers;
private List<Chatlist> mChatList;
private FirebaseUser mFirebaseUser;
private TextView mNoMessages;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_chats, container, false);
mFirebaseUser = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
mNoMessages = v.findViewById(R.id.no_messages);
mRecyclerView = v.findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getContext());
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
mChatList = new ArrayList<>();
mUserAdapterChat = new UserAdapterChat(getContext(), mUsers, false);
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mUserAdapterChat);
mUsers = new ArrayList<>();
EditText search_users = v.findViewById(R.id.search_bar);
search_users.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
searchUsers(s.toString().toLowerCase());
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
});
DatabaseReference reference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Chatlist").child(mFirebaseUser.getUid());
reference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {

public int compare(Chatlist o1, Chatlist o2) {
return o1.getTimestamp() < o2.getTimestamp() ? 1 : (o1.getTimestamp() == o2.getTimestamp() ? 0 : -1);
}
}
回答1:
You are sorting collection in ascending order by using Long.compare(). For showing latest chat you need to change the compare method as
public int compare(Chatlist o1, Chatlist o2) {
return o1.getTimestamp() < o2.getTimestamp() ? 1 :
(o1.getTimestamp == o2.getTimestamp() ? 0 : -1);
}
回答2:
You can simply use Java8 feature to compare the element as below:
List<ChatList> unique = list.stream().collect(collectingAndThen(toCollection(() -> new TreeSet<>(comparing(ChatList::getTimestamp))),ArrayList::new));
unique.forEach((k) -> System.out.println(k.getTimestamp()));
