Java 8 Streams filter, tutorial

This tutorial will show you some use of Java 8 Streams. We will learn how to use collect(), filter(), findAny() and orElse().

filter and collect

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class Java8StreamFilter {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List<String> list = Arrays.asList("apple", "mango", "coconut", "guava");

        List<String> filtered = list.stream()            //Convert to stream
                .filter(line -> !"coconut".equals(line)) //remove coconut
                .filter(line -> !"mango".equals(line))   //remove mango
                .collect(Collectors.toList());           //convert the stream to list

        for (int i = 0; i < filtered.size(); i++) {
            System.out.println(filtered.get(i));
        }
    }
}

Result

apple
guava

filter, findAny and orElse

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class Java8StreamFindAny {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List<Toys> list = Arrays.asList(
                new Toys("Toy 1", 100, 1),
                new Toys("Toy 2", 200, 2),
                new Toys("Toy 3", 300, 3),
                new Toys("Toy 4", 400, 4)
        );


        Toys filtered1 = list.stream()                           // Convert to stream
                .filter(x -> "Toy 3".equals(x.getName()))        // Looking for Toy 3 only
                .findAny()                                       // if exists, return Toy 3
                .orElse(null);                             // if not, return null


        System.out.println(filtered1);

        Toys filtered2 = list.stream()                           // Convert to stream
                .filter(x -> "Toy 4".equals(x.getName()))        // Looking for Toy 4 only
                .findAny()                                       // if exists, return Toy 4
                .orElse(null);                             // if not, return null


        System.out.println(filtered2);
    }

    static class Toys {

        private String name;
        private int price;
        private int weight;

        public Toys(String name, int price, int weight) {
            this.name = name;
            this.price = price;
            this.weight = weight;
        }

        public String getName() {
            return name;
        }

        public void setName(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }

        public int getPrice() {
            return price;
        }

        public void setPrice(int price) {
            this.price = price;
        }

        public int getWeight() {
            return weight;
        }

        public void setWeight(int weight) {
            this.weight = weight;
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "Toys{" +
                    "name='" + name + '\'' +
                    ", price=" + price +
                    ", weight=" + weight +
                    '}';
        }
    }
}

Result:

Toys{name='Toy 3', price=300, weight=3}
Toys{name='Toy 4', price=400, weight=4}

filter and map

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class Java8StreamFilterAndMap {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        List<Toys> list = Arrays.asList(
                new Toys("Toy 1", 100, 1),
                new Toys("Toy 2", 200, 2),
                new Toys("Toy 3", 300, 3),
                new Toys("Toy 4", 400, 4)
        );


        String toyName = list.stream()                       // Convert to stream
                .filter(x -> "Toy 4".equals(x.getName()))    // Looking for Toy 4 only
                .map(Toys::getName)                          // map to only name
                .findAny()                                   // if exists, return Toy 4
                .orElse(null);                         // if not, return null


        System.out.println(toyName);
    }

    static class Toys {

        private String name;
        private int price;
        private int weight;

        public Toys(String name, int price, int weight) {
            this.name = name;
            this.price = price;
            this.weight = weight;
        }

        public String getName() {
            return name;
        }

        public void setName(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }

        public int getPrice() {
            return price;
        }

        public void setPrice(int price) {
            this.price = price;
        }

        public int getWeight() {
            return weight;
        }

        public void setWeight(int weight) {
            this.weight = weight;
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return "Toys{" +
                    "name='" + name + '\'' +
                    ", price=" + price +
                    ", weight=" + weight +
                    '}';
        }
    }
