Java 8 Lambda空列表进行空检查

Question

I am trying to do null check for the list of values and change it to empty if the value is null. I am getting null as one of the list of value in x.getSomeCall().The null value is not getting added as empty list in the new list

public class Example{
     private List<Test> test;
     //setter
     //getter
}

public class Test{
    private List<Test2> test2;
     //setter
     //getter
}

public class Test2{
    private String name;
    //setter
    //getter
}

public static void main(String args[]){

Example example=new Example(); example.setTest(test);

    List<Test> test=new ArrayList<>();
    Test t=new Test();
    t.setTest2(test);
    Test t1=new Test();
    Test t2=new Test();
    test.add(t);
    test.add(t1);

    List<Test2> test=new ArrayList<>();
    Test2 t=new Test2();
    test.add(t);
    test.add(null); // I want to get these value as empty list along with the 1st Value in a new list

//Imperative Programming
for(Example ex:example.getTest()){
System.out.println(ex.getTest2());/It prints t object and a null vale

}


When I tried the same with reactive

List<Test2> t=example.getTest().stream()
                              .flatMap(x -> x.getTest2() == null ? Stream.empty() : x.getTest2().stream())
                              .collect(Collectors.toList());

        System.out.println(t)// It prints only t object
I was expecting two element on with t object and the other one as empty list[]

}

So that later I can do an empty check with the new list

 if(isEmpty(example.getTest().stream()
                                  .flatMap(x -> x.getTest2() == null ? Stream.empty() : x.getTest2().stream())
                                  .collect(Collectors.toList())))

Answer 1

It's often simpler and more readable to break up a complex stream step into into multiple simple ones:

list1.stream()
     .map(SomeCall::getSomeCall)
     .filter(Objects::nonNull)
     .flatMap(Collection::stream)   // or List::stream if it's a list
     .collect(...)

Answer 2

You could instead find such a sum simply using:

int size = stList.stream() // variable renamed not to start with numeric
        .mapToInt(st -> Optional.ofNullable(st.getSomeCall()).map(List::size).orElse(0))
        .sum();

Updated with question :

System.out.println(example.getTest().stream() // variable renamed not to start with numeric
        .mapToInt(st -> Optional.ofNullable(st.getTest2()).map(List::size).orElse(0))
        .sum());

---

get the list of value instead of size

If you were to get the List<Test2> as a result, your existing code is good enough, though you can also get it as :

List<Test2> list = example.getTest().stream()
        .map(a -> a.getTest2() == null ? new ArrayList<Test2>() : a.getTest2())
        .flatMap(List::stream)
        .collect(Collectors.toList());
