Debajo del código que estoy usando funciona muy bien y muestra los nombres, excepto que el método de clasificación no funciona. Esperaba "Collections.sort (nameFromText);" para ordenar ArrayList en orden alfabético por nombre.Ordenando una ArrayList of Person con colecciones java
¿Qué estoy haciendo mal?
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
// Create and populate text file
Writer textFile = new FileWriter("names.txt");
String[] nameArray = new String[] { "Tina Tully\n", "Bill Simpson\n",
"Dana Smith\n", "Ralph Andrews\n", "Greg Smithers\n",
"Lisa Krump\n", "Gill Bitters\n", "Barbara West\n",
"Sandra McDonald\n", "Bart Willis\n", "Bucky Zimmerman\n",
"Richard Vicks\n", "Velma Tarp\n", "Winslow Tunnell\n",
"Andrew Letterman\n", "Betty Trump\n", "Waldo Smith\n",
"Kyle Ronno\n", "Vivian West\n", "Wendy Tunnell\n" };
generateText(textFile, nameArray);
// Create object of previously created text file
Scanner pullFile = new Scanner(new File("names.txt"));
// Create 20 Person Objects and add to ArrayList data structure with
// name variables assigned to values from text file
ArrayList<Person> nameFromText = new ArrayList<Person>();
fillArrayList(nameFromText, pullFile);
// Sort ArrayList
Collections.sort(nameFromText);
// Print ArrayList
printNamesFromObjects(nameFromText);
}
private static void printNamesFromObjects(ArrayList<Person> namesFromText) {
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
System.out.println(namesFromText.get(i).name);
}
}
private static void fillArrayList(ArrayList<Person> nameFromText,
Scanner pullFile) {
while (pullFile.hasNext()) {
Person obj = new Person(pullFile.nextLine());
nameFromText.add(obj);
}
}
private static void generateText(Writer textFile, String[] nameArray)
throws IOException {
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
textFile.write(new String(nameArray[i]));
}
textFile.close();
}
