I'm creating an ArrayList of Map Entry key-value pairs. This is so I can store lots of individual words (as a key) and save the total number of times they are used (as the value).
I need to be able to sort the ArrayList by value so I can order the words by their values.
I have 2 problems:
Any help much appreciated!
protected void addKeywords(Status status) {
// get tweet
String str = status.getText();
// split into an array remove punctuation and make lower case
String[] splited = str.replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z ]", "").toLowerCase()
.split("\\s+");
// vars used in loop
String thisStr;
int wordTot;
Entry<String, Integer> newEntry = null;
for (int i = 0; i < splited.length; i++) {
// get word from array
thisStr = splited[i].toLowerCase();
thisStr = "hi";
// if this is the first word to be added
if (mapList.size() == 0) {
//this is the syntax that I don't know!
newEntry.key = theStr;
newEntry.value = 1;
mapList.add(newEntry);
} else {
boolean alreadyExists = false;
//iterate through mapList
for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : mapList) {
// already exists
if (entry.getKey() == thisStr) {
wordTot = entry.getValue();
//increment the value
wordTot++;
entry.setValue(wordTot);
break;
}
}
//if we have reached here the value must not be in the arraylist so add it
//again - this is the syntax that I don't know!
newEntry.key = theStr;
newEntry.value = 1;
mapList.add(newEntry);
}
}
}
-EDIT - working code Hi, I've added the new code to add map entries to the ArrayList and that is working great.
I have also updated my sort code and this is working great too:
private void sortMap() {
Collections.sort(mapList, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, Integer>>() {
@Override
public int compare(Map.Entry<String, Integer> o1, Map.Entry<String, Integer> o2) {
if (o1.getValue()>o2.getValue()){
return 1;
}else if (o1.getValue()<o2.getValue()){
return -1;
}else{
return 0;
}
}
});
}
List<Map.Entry<String, String>> list = new ArrayList<Map.Entry<String, String>>();
list.add(new AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<String, String>("foo", "bar"));
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Map.Entry<String, String>>() {
@Override
public int compare(Map.Entry<String, String> o1, Map.Entry<String, String> o2) {
return 0;
}
});
Consider the contract of the compare
method:
Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
