您可能要使用该compareTo
方法的唯一原因是对集合进行排序。
您始终可以创建 aComparator
并将其传递给Collections.sort
调用。
Collections.sort(myList, new Comparator<File>() {
public int compare(File file1, File file2) {
// write your custom compare logic here.
}
});
即使您使用诸如 的排序集合TreeSet
,它也已经为您提供了一个重载的构造函数来传递Comparator
.
/**
* Constructs a new, empty tree set, sorted according to the specified
* comparator. All elements inserted into the set must be <i>mutually
* comparable</i> by the specified comparator: {@code comparator.compare(e1,
* e2)} must not throw a {@code ClassCastException} for any elements
* {@code e1} and {@code e2} in the set. If the user attempts to add
* an element to the set that violates this constraint, the
* {@code add} call will throw a {@code ClassCastException}.
*
* @param comparator the comparator that will be used to order this set.
* If {@code null}, the {@linkplain Comparable natural
* ordering} of the elements will be used.

public TreeSet(Comparator<? super E> comparator) {
this(new TreeMap<E,Object>(comparator));
