The Google Guava libraries has many useful classes and methods. Normally I write code in Groovy and I am used to working with collections in an intuitive way. But sometimes I need to work with Java on my project and then the Google Guava libraries are a great alternative.

Suppose I want to check if all elements in a collection apply to a certain condition. In Groovy I would write this:

final List<String> list = ['Groovy', 'Rocks']

assert list.every { it.contains('o') }

Now in Java and Google Guava I have the following snippet:

import com.google.common.base.Predicate;
import com.google.common.collect.Iterables;
import com.google.common.collect.Lists;

import java.util.List;

final List<String> list = Lists.newArrayList("Google", "Guava");

final Predicate<String> startWithG = new Predicate<String>() {
    @Override
    public boolean apply(final String stringValue) {
        return stringValue.startsWith("G");
    }
};

assert Iterables.all(list, startWithG);

If we use a regular expression pattern we can even simplify the previous code to:

import com.google.common.base.Predicates;
import com.google.common.collect.Iterables;
import com.google.common.collect.Lists;

import java.util.List;

final List<String> list = Lists.newArrayList("Google", "Guava");

final Predicate startWithG = Predicates.containsPattern("^G[a-z]+$");

assert Iterables.all(list, startWithG);
