How to check in java if Set contains object with some string value?

Question

I have Set of objects. Each object has String value.

I need to select all objects that have this value equal to \"direction\".

Is it possibl

Answer 1

Yes this is possible by overwriting the equals() method.

@Override 
public boolean  equals (Object object) {

}

You just want to check everything works in the equals method.

Code:

package com.webapp.test;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class EmployeeModel {    

    public EmployeeModel(String name, String designation, long age) {
        this.name = name;
        this.designation = designation;
        this.age = age;
    }

    private String name;
    private String designation;
    private long age;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

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

    public String getDesignation() {
        return designation;
    }

    public void setDesignation(String designation) {
        this.designation = designation;
    }

    public long getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(long age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals (Object object) {
        boolean result = false;
        if (object == null || object.getClass() != getClass()) {
            result = false;
        } else {
            EmployeeModel employee = (EmployeeModel) object;
            if (this.name == employee.getName() && this.designation == employee.getDesignation() && this.age.equals(employee.getAge())) {
                result = true;
            }
        }
        return result;
    }
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
    EmployeeModel first = new EmployeeModel("Sameer", "Developer", 25);
    EmployeeModel second = new EmployeeModel("Jon", "Manager", 30);
    EmployeeModel third = new EmployeeModel("Priyanka", "Tester", 24);

    List employeeList = new ArrayList();
    employeeList.add(first);
    employeeList.add(second);
    employeeList.add(third);

    EmployeeModel checkUserOne = new EmployeeModel("Sameer", "Developer", 25);
    System.out.println("Check checkUserOne is in list or not ");
    System.out.println("Is checkUserOne Present = ? " + employeeList.contains(checkUserOne));

    EmployeeModel checkUserTwo = new EmployeeModel("Tim", "Tester", 24);
    System.out.println("Check checkUserTwo is in list or not");
    System.out.println("Is checkUserTwo Present = ? " + employeeList.contains(checkUserTwo));

}

Output:

Check checkUserOne is in list or not 
Is checkUserOne Present = ? true
Check checkUserTwo is in list or not 
Is checkUserTwo Present = ? false
