I'm using Java 8 for grouping by data. But the results obtained are not in the order formed.
Map<GroupingKey, List<Object>> groupedResult = null;
if (!CollectionUtils.isEmpty(groupByColumns)) {
Map<String, Object> mapArr[] = new LinkedHashMap[mapList.size()];
if (!CollectionUtils.isEmpty(mapList)) {
int count = 0;
for (LinkedHashMap<String, Object> map : mapList) {
mapArr[count++] = map;
}
}
Stream<Map<String, Object>> people = Stream.of(mapArr);
groupedResult = people
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(p -> new GroupingKey(p, groupByColumns), Collectors.mapping((Map<String, Object> p) -> p, toList())));
public static class GroupingKey
public GroupingKey(Map<String, Object> map, List<String> cols) {
keys = new ArrayList<>();
for (String col : cols) {
keys.add(map.get(col));
}
}
// Add appropriate isEqual() ... you IDE should generate this
@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (obj == null) {
return false;
}
if (getClass() != obj.getClass()) {
return false;
}
final GroupingKey other = (GroupingKey) obj;
if (!Objects.equals(this.keys, other.keys)) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
int hash = 7;
hash = 37 * hash + Objects.hashCode(this.keys);
return hash;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return keys + "";
}
public ArrayList<Object> getKeys() {
return keys;
}
public void setKeys(ArrayList<Object> keys) {
this.keys = keys;
}
}
Here I am using my class GroupingKey
by which I'm dynamically passing from UX. How can get this groupByColumns
in sorted form?
Not maintaining the order is a property of the Map
that stores the result. If you need a specific Map
behavior, you need to request a particular Map
implementation. E.g. LinkedHashMap
maintains the insertion order:
groupedResult = people.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(
p -> new GroupingKey(p, groupByColumns),
LinkedHashMap::new,
Collectors.mapping((Map<String, Object> p) -> p, toList())));
By the way, there is no reason to copy the contents of mapList
into an array before creating the Stream
. You may simply call mapList.stream()
to get an appropriate Stream
.
Further, Collectors.mapping((Map<String, Object> p) -> p, toList())
is unnecessary. p->p
is an identity mapping, so there’s no reason to request mapping
at all:
groupedResult = mapList.stream().collect(Collectors.groupingBy(
p -> new GroupingKey(p, groupByColumns), LinkedHashMap::new, toList()));
But even the GroupingKey
is obsolete. It basically wraps a List
of values, so you could just use a List
as key in the first place. List
s implement hashCode
and equals
appropriately (but you must not modify these key List
s afterwards).
Map<List<Object>, List<Object>> groupedResult=
mapList.stream().collect(Collectors.groupingBy(
p -> groupByColumns.stream().map(p::get).collect(toList()),
LinkedHashMap::new, toList()));
