ListView: How do sort my list or arrayList by a specific element?

Question

For instance show only automobile that are; “Mercedes” or ‘’Nissan?”
Or by YearOfManufacture; only automobile manufactured in 2004 in my listView?

My Automobil class looks like this

public class AutoMobil {
     private String make;
     private String brandName;
     private int yearOfManufacture;
  }

My autoMobil populated list looks like this;

private void autoMobileList() {
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Toyota’’, ‘’Corolla’’, ‘’2011’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Toyota’’, ‘’Corolla’’, ‘’2002’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Toyota’’, ‘’Mark2’’, ‘’1998’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Toyota’’, ‘’Camry’’, ‘’2004’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Toyota’’, ‘’Corona’’, ‘’2011’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Nissan’’, ‘’March’’, ‘’2013’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Nissan’’, ‘’Micra’’, ‘’2001’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Nissan’’, ‘’Laurel’’, ‘’2014’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Mercedes’’, ‘’SL500’’, ‘’2004’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Mercedes’’, ‘’190E’’, ‘’1992’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Mercedes’’, ‘’C200’’, ‘’1993’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Toyota’’, ‘’Hiace’’, ‘’1998’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Toyota’’, ‘’Hiace’’, ‘’2003’’));
    MyAutoMobilList.add(new AutoMobil(“Toyota’’, ‘’Vitz’’, ‘’2004’’));

}

Sort by Brand Name (String):

Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<AutoMobil>() {
        public int compare(AutoMobil v1, AutoMobil v2) {
        return v1.getBrandName().compareTo(v2.getBrandName());
    }
});

Sort by Year Of Manufacture (int):

Collections.sort(conversations, new Comparator<AutoMobil>(){
                public int compare(AutoMobil s1, AutoMobil s2) {
        if (s1.getYearOfManufacture() < s2.getYearOfManufacture())
            return 1;
        if (s1.getYearOfManufacture() > s2.getYearOfManufacture())
            return -1;
        else
            return 0;
    }
});

Show only specific items:

ArrayList<AutoMobil> list_to_show = new ArrayList<AutoMobil>();
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
     if (list.getBrandName().equals("Nissan"))
        list_to_show.add(list.get(i));

Thanks a bunch it works perfect in java. But I still have problems or errors when placing the collections.sort instances in my android activity. Should codes be applied to my adapter? if so, How should I do it? — Kim, Apr 11 '15 at 22:06
