1. WELCOME KOTLIN / Everywhere Nairobi Study Jam 3 / 6
2. Expressive & Efficient Collection Processing in Kotlin HARUN WANGEREKA ANDROID DEVELOPER, APPS:LAB
3. Agenda • Basics • Collections Playground • Summary
4. Heavily inspired by Scala
5. Built on top of Java Collections API
6. Defines collections in the kotlin.collections package
7. public interface Iterable<out T> { public operator fun iterator(): Iterator<T> } Basis for all collections
8. Iterator object knows how to iterate over a collection public interface Iterator<out T> { public operator fun next(): T public operator fun hasNext(): Boolean }
9. Next on hierarchy is Collection public interface Collection<out E> : Iterable<E> { public val size: Int public fun isEmpty(): Boolean public operator fun contains(element: @UnsafeVariance E): Boolean override fun iterator(): Iterator<E> public fun containsAll(elements: Collection<@UnsafeVariance E>): Boolean }
10. Next hierarchy is Collection • List • Set • Map
11. Collection Mutable Read-Only • MutableList • MutableSet • MutableMap • List • Set • Map
12. Collections Playground
13. Inspired by the “collector”
14. When the speaker is ready, the collector will appear
16. Summary • Create - We have mutable and read-only • Operators - Functional operations plus,minus, plus assign and minus assign • Transformers - build new collections based on conditions provided • Aggregators - operations that return single value based on collection content • Searching - getting particular elements • Filtering - filter-in with some predicate/condition • Actions - [action] on a particular iterable
17. • Retrieving Collections Parts - Retrieves parts of collections - • Retrieving Single Elements • Collection Ordering • Collections write operations - add(),remove() • List/Set/Map Specific Operations
18. Neat Stuff. The cool way
19. ..the old way var count = 0 var total = 0.0 for (album in albumList){ if (album.genre == "HipHop"){ count ++ total += album.averageRating } } val average = total/ count average.print()
20. The collections.way val avg = albumList.filter { it.genre == "HipHop" } .map { it.averageRating } .average() .print()
21. ..the old way val speakersList :List<SpeakersModel> = getSpeakersInfo() val sessionList : List<SessionsModel> = snapshots.toObjects<SessionsModel>() sessionList.map { sessionModel -> val sessionSpeakerIdList = sessionModel.speaker_id sessionSpeakerIdList.forEach { speakerId -> speakersList.forEach {speakerModel -> if (sessionSpeakerIdList.contains(speakerModel.id)){ sessionModel.speakerList.add(speakerModel) } } } }
22. The collections.way val speakerById : Map<Int, SpeakersModel> = getSpeakerInfo().associateBy { it.id} val sessionList : List<SessionsModel> = snapshots.toObjects() sessionList.onEach { sessionsModel -> sessionsModel.speaker_id.mapNotNull { speakerById[it]?.let { speakerModel -> sessionsModel.speakerList.add(speakerModel) } } }
23. articlesList.filter { it == "Kotlin Collections" }
