How to re-order a List<String>
- by tarka
I have created the following method:
public List<String> listAll() {
List worldCountriesByLocal = new ArrayList();
for (Locale locale : Locale.getAvailableLocales()) {
final String isoCountry = locale.getDisplayCountry();
if (isoCountry.length() > 0) {
worldCountriesByLocal.add(isoCountry);
Collections.sort(worldCountriesByLocal);
}
}
return worldCountriesByLocal;
}
Its pretty simple and it returns a list of world countries in the users locale. I then sort it to get it alphabetic. This all works perfectly (except I seem to occasionally get duplicates of countries!).
Anyway, what I need is to place the US, and UK at the top of the list regardless. The problem I have is that I can't isolate the index or the string that will be returned for the US and UK because that is specific to the locale!
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
