Efficient way to compare version strings in Java [duplicate]

Answer 1

Split the String on "." or whatever your delimeter will be, then parse each of those tokens to the Integer value and compare.

int compareStringIntegerValue(String s1, String s2, String delimeter)  
{  
   String[] s1Tokens = s1.split(delimeter);  
   String[] s2Tokens = s2.split(delimeter);  

   int returnValue = 0;
   if(s1Tokens.length > s2Tokens.length)  
   {  
       for(int i = 0; i

I will leave the other if statement as an exercise.
