Java 8 provides an extremely powerful abstract concept Stream with many useful mechanics for consuming and processing data in Java Collection. In the tutorial, We will use lots of examples to explore more the helpful of Stream API with filtering function on the specific topic: “Filter Collection with Java 8 Stream”.
What will we do?
- How to filter List with traditional approach?
- Use Java 8 Stream to filter List and Array Objects
- Apply
filter()function with other util functions of Stream API in practice
Now let’s do examples for more details!

Java Filter List by Traditional Approach with Looping
Before Java 8, for filtering a List Objects, we use the basic approach with looping technical solution.
Looping Example – Filter Integer List
– Example: How to get all even number in a list?
List<Integer> intList = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 16); for(Integer i: intList) { if(i%2==0) { System.out.println(i); } } /* 2 4 10 16 */ |
Looping Example – Filter String List
– Example: How to get all string that contains “Java” sub-string in a string List?
List<String> strList = Arrays.asList("Java", "Python", "Java Stream", "Java Tutorial", "Nodejs Tutorial"); List<String> newStrList = new ArrayList<String>(); for(String str: strList) { if(str.contains("Java")) { newStrList.add(str); } } System.out.println(newStrList); /* [Java, Java Stream, Java Tutorial] */ |
Looping Example – Filter Custom Object List
– Create a Customer class:
class Customer{ private int id; private String name; private int age; Customer(int id, String name, int age){ this.id = id; this.name = name; this.age = age; } public int getId() { return this.id; } public String getName() { return this.name; } public int getAge() { return this.age; } public String toString() { return String.format("[id=%d, name=%s, age=%d]", id, name, age); } } |
– Looping through a List to filter objects having age >= 18:
List<Customer> customers = Arrays.asList(new Customer(1, "Jack", 23), new Customer(2, "Mary", 31), new Customer(3, "Peter", 17), new Customer(4, "Harry", 16), new Customer(5,"Joe", 19)); for(Customer customer: customers) { if(customer.getAge() >= 18) { System.out.println(customer); } } /* [id=1, name=Jack, age=23] [id=2, name=Mary, age=31] [id=5, name=Joe, age=19] */ |
Java 8 Stream Filter Examples
With the a powerful concept Stream of Java 8, we can use the filter() method to filtering each element from a list.
Signature:
Stream<Integer> java.util.stream.Stream.filter(Predicate<? super Integer> predicate) |
Stream Filter Example with Integer List
– Example:
List<Integer> intList = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 16); List<Integer> newList = intList.stream().filter(i->i%2==0).collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println(newList); /* [2, 4, 10, 16] */ |
In above example code, the filter() method returns a stream. So we need an util collect() method to transform stream elements into another container such as a List.
Stream Filter Example with String List
– Example:
List<String> strList = Arrays.asList("Java", "Python", "Java Stream", "Java Tutorial", "Nodejs Tutorial"); List<String> newStrList = strList.stream().filter(str -> str.contains("Java")) .map(String::toUpperCase) .collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println(newStrList); // [JAVA, JAVA STREAM, JAVA TUTORIAL] |
In the above code, We use map() function of Java 8 Stream to combine with filter() to help transforms each string after filter to Uppercase.
Stream Filter Example with Custom List
– Example:
List<Customer> customers = Arrays.asList(new Customer(1, "Jack", 23), new Customer(2, "Mary", 31), new Customer(3, "Peter", 17), new Customer(4, "Harry", 16), new Customer(5,"Joe", 19)); customers.stream().filter(c -> c.getAge() >= 18) .forEach(System.out::println); /* [id=1, name=Jack, age=23] [id=2, name=Mary, age=31] [id=5, name=Joe, age=19] */ |
In above example, we use forEach() terminal operation to performs an action System.out.println() for each stream element.
We can also combine filter stream with sorted() method:
customers.stream().filter(c -> c.getAge() >= 18) .sorted(Comparator.comparing(Customer::getAge)) .forEach(System.out::println); /* [id=5, name=Joe, age=19] [id=1, name=Jack, age=23] [id=2, name=Mary, age=31] */ |
Java 8 Stream Filter with Multi-Condition
Assume We need filter all customers having age less than 30 and be an odd number. How to do it?
-> We have 2 approaches:
– Approach 1: apply multiple checking for multi-conditions in only one filter() method.
List<Customer> customers = Arrays.asList(new Customer(1, "Jack", 23), new Customer(2, "Mary", 31), new Customer(3, "Peter", 17), new Customer(4, "Harry", 16), new Customer(5,"Joe", 19)); customers.stream().filter(c -> c.getAge() < 30 && c.getAge() %2 == 1) .forEach(System.out::println); /* [id=1, name=Jack, age=23] [id=3, name=Peter, age=17] [id=5, name=Joe, age=19] */ |
– Approach 2: Use multiple filter() method together:
customers.stream().filter(c -> c.getAge() < 30) .filter(c -> c.getAge() %2 == 1) .forEach(System.out::println); /* [id=1, name=Jack, age=23] [id=3, name=Peter, age=17] [id=5, name=Joe, age=19] */ |
Parallel & Sequential Streams Filter Example
Stream provides a parallel and sequential API processing, so We can combine it with filter() method to leverage the multiple cores on your computer for performance processing data.
– See below example:
List<Customer> customers = Arrays.asList(new Customer(1, "Jack", 23), new Customer(2, "Mary", 31), new Customer(3, "Peter", 17), new Customer(4, "Harry", 16), new Customer(5,"Joe", 19)); customers.stream() .parallel() .filter(c -> c.getAge() < 30 && c.getAge() %2 == 1) // concurrently filtering .sequential() // switch to sequential processing .map(c -> new Customer(c.getId(), c.getName().toUpperCase(), c.getAge())) .forEach(System.out::println); /* [id=1, name=JACK, age=23] [id=3, name=PETER, age=17] [id=5, name=JOE, age=19] */ |
Stream Filter Array Objects with Java 8
For using stream to filter objects in Array with Java 8, We do 2 steps:
- Create Stream from Array Objects.
- Apply the filtering in stream for Array Objects as the same way we had done with above List Objects.
Example Code:
Arrays.stream(customers) // create Stream from Array Objects .parallel() .filter(c -> c.getAge() < 30 && c.getAge() %2 == 1) // Concurrently Filtering .sequential() // switch to sequential processing .map(c -> new Customer(c.getId(), c.getName().toUpperCase(), c.getAge())) // apply mapping to Upper-Case the Name .forEach(System.out::println); /* [id=1, name=JACK, age=23] [id=3, name=PETER, age=17] [id=5, name=JOE, age=19] */ |
Conclusion
We had done how to use Java 8 Stream Filter with Examples:
- How to Filter Java List before Java 8 with looping approach
- Apply Stream Filter to Integer, String and Custom Object List
- Combine
filter()method with other methods of Java 8 Stream such as:map(),sorted(),forEach() - Apply Stream Filter to Java Array
- Explore how to use parallel & sequential streams with
filter()method
