Sorting String with non-western characters

Question

I wanted to print sorted Polish names of all available languages.

import java.util.*;

public class Tmp
{
  public static void main(String... args)
  {
    L         


        

Answer 1

I'am dealing with the same problem. I found that the local collector solution works fine for android 7.0, but does not on earlier android versions. I've implemented the following algorithm. It is pretty fast ( I sort more than 3000 strings) and does it on earlier android versions too.

public class SortBasedOnName implements Comparator {

    private Map myCharMap;
    private final static MapmyPolCharTable = new HashMap();
    static {
        myPolCharTable.put(' ',0x0020);
        myPolCharTable.put('!',0x0021);
        myPolCharTable.put('"',0x0022);


        myPolCharTable.put('a',0x0040);
        myPolCharTable.put('ą',0x0041);
        myPolCharTable.put('b',0x0042);
        myPolCharTable.put('c',0x0043);
        myPolCharTable.put('ć',0x0044);


        myPolCharTable.put('{',0x0066);
        myPolCharTable.put('|',0x0067);
        myPolCharTable.put('}',0x0068);
    }

    public SortBasedOnName() {}

    public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {

        Dictionary dd1 = (Dictionary) o1;
        Dictionary dd2 = (Dictionary) o2;

    return strCompareWithDiacritics(dd1.getOriginal(), dd2.getOriginal());
    }

    private  int strCompareWithDiacritics(String s1, String s2) {

        int i = 0;
        int result = 0;
        int length =0;

        s1 = s1.toLowerCase();
        s2 = s2.toLowerCase();
        if (s1.length() > s2.length()) {
            result = 1;
            length = s2.length();
        } else if (s1.length() < s2.length()) {
            result = -1;
            length = s1.length();
        } else if (s1.length() == s2.length()) {
            result = 0;
            length = s1.length();
        }

        try {
            while (i  myPolCharTable.get(s2.charAt(i))) {
                    result = 1;
                    break;
                } else if (myPolCharTable.get(s1.charAt(i)) < myPolCharTable.get(s2.charAt(i))) {
                    result = -1;
                    break;
                }
                i++;
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return result;
    }
}
