filtering an ArrayList using an object's field

Question

I have an ArrayList which is filled by Objects.

My object class called Article which has two fields ;

public class Article {

    private int codeArt;
    private String desArt;

  public Article(int aInt, String string) {
        this.desArt = string;
        this.codeArt = aInt;
    }

    public int getCodeArt() {return codeArt; }
    public void setCodeArt(int codeArt) {this.codeArt = codeArt;}
    public String getDesArt() {return desArt;}
    public void setDesArt(String desArt) { this.desArt = desArt;}

}

I want to filter my List using the desArt field, and for test I used the String "test".

I used the Guava from google which allows me to filter an ArrayList.

this is the code I tried :

private List<gestionstock.Article> listArticles = new ArrayList<>();

//Here the I've filled my ArrayList

private List<gestionstock.Article> filteredList filteredList = Lists.newArrayList(Collections2.filter(listArticles, Predicates.containsPattern("test")));

but this code isn't working.

Answer 1

In Java 8, using filter

List<Article> articleList = new ArrayList<Article>();
List<Article> filteredArticleList= articleList.stream().filter(article -> article.getDesArt().contains("test")).collect(Collectors.toList());
