Java - write to a .csv file after sorting an arraylist of objects

I have an arraylist of object type:
public static ArrayList crimes = new ArrayList();
The CityCrime.java has the following:
public class CityCrime {
//Instance variables
private String city;
private String state;
private int population;
private int murder;
private int robbery;
private int assault;
private int burglary;
private int larceny;
private int motorTheft;
public int totalCrimes;
public static void main(String[] args) {
}
public int getTotalCrimes() {
return totalCrimes;
}
public void setTotalCrimes(int murder, int robbery, int assault, int burglary, int larceny, int motorTheft) {
this.totalCrimes = murder + robbery + assault + burglary + larceny + motorTheft;
}
public String getCity() {
return city;
}
public void setCity(String city) {
this.city = city;
}
public String getState() {
return state;
}
public void setState(String state) {
if(state.equalsIgnoreCase("ALABAMA")) {
this.state = "AL";
}
else if(state.equalsIgnoreCase("ALASKA")) {
this.state = "AK";
}
else if(state.equalsIgnoreCase("ARIZONA")) {
this.state = "AR";
}
//etc
}
public int getPopulation() {
return population;
}
public void setPopulation(int population) {
this.population = population;
}
public int getMurder() {
return murder;
}
public void setMurder(int murder) {
this.murder = murder;
}
public int getRobbery() {
return robbery;
}
public void setRobbery(int robbery) {
this.robbery = robbery;
}
public int getAssault() {
return assault;
}
public void setAssault(int assault) {
this.assault = assault;
}
public int getBurglary() {
return burglary;
}
public void setBurglary(int burglary) {
this.burglary = burglary;
}
public int getLarceny() {
return larceny;
}
public void setLarceny(int larceny) {
this.larceny = larceny;
}
public int getMotorTheft() {
return motorTheft;
}
public void setMotorTheft(int motorTheft) {
this.motorTheft = motorTheft;
}
public static void showAllMurderDetails() {
for (CityCrime crime : StartApp.crimes) {
System.out.println("Crime: City= " + crime.getCity() + ", Murder= " + crime.getMurder());
}
System.out.println();
}
public static int showAllViolentCrimes() {
int total = 0;
for(CityCrime crime : StartApp.crimes) {
total=total+crime.getMurder();
total=total+crime.getRobbery();
total=total+crime.getAssault();
}
System.out.println("Total of violent crimes: " + total);
return total;
}
public static int getPossessionCrimes() {
int total=0;
for (CityCrime crime : StartApp.crimes) {
total = total + crime.getBurglary();
total = total + crime.getLarceny();
total = total + crime.getMotorTheft();
}
System.out.println("Total of possession crimes: " + total);
return total;
}
}
The CityCrime ArrayList gets popular from another csv file:
public static void readCrimeData() {
File file = new File("crimeUSA.csv");
FileReader fileReader;
BufferedReader bufferedReader;
String crimeInfo;
String[] stats;
try {
fileReader = new FileReader(file);
bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
crimeInfo = bufferedReader.readLine();
crimeInfo = bufferedReader.readLine();
do {
CityCrime crime = new CityCrime(); // Default constructor
stats = crimeInfo.split(",");
{
if (stats[0] != null) {
crime.setCity(stats[0]);
}
if (stats[1] != null) {
crime.setState(stats[1]);
}
if (stats[2] != null) {
if (Integer.parseInt(stats[2]) >= 0) {
crime.setPopulation(Integer.parseInt(stats[2]));
}
}
if (stats[3] != null) {
if (Integer.parseInt(stats[3]) >= 0) {
crime.setMurder(Integer.parseInt(stats[3]));
}
}
if (stats[4] != null) {
if (Integer.parseInt(stats[4]) >= 0) {
crime.setRobbery(Integer.parseInt(stats[4]));
}
}
if (stats[5] != null) {
if (Integer.parseInt(stats[5]) >= 0) {
crime.setAssault(Integer.parseInt(stats[5]));
}
}
if (stats[6] != null) {
if (Integer.parseInt(stats[6]) >= 0) {
crime.setBurglary(Integer.parseInt(stats[6]));
}
}
if (stats[7] != null) {
if (Integer.parseInt(stats[7]) >= 0) {
crime.setLarceny(Integer.parseInt(stats[7]));
}
}
if (stats[8] != null) {
if (Integer.parseInt(stats[8]) >= 0) {
crime.setMotorTheft(Integer.parseInt(stats[8]));
}
}
crime.setTotalCrimes(Integer.parseInt(stats[3]), Integer.parseInt(stats[4]), Integer.parseInt(stats[5]), Integer.parseInt(stats[6]), Integer.parseInt(stats[7]), Integer.parseInt(stats[8]));
}
crimes.add(crime);
System.out.println(crime);
crimeInfo = bufferedReader.readLine();
} while (crimeInfo != null);
fileReader.close();
bufferedReader.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {

I want to sort the array list and output to the csv file the list of robberies in descending order with the corresponding city. So far I have got the following, but I am stuck and not sure if going in the right direction. I'm relatively new to Java as you can probably tell so would appreciate it in as simple terms as can be:
public static void writeToFile() throws IOException {
File csvFile = new File("Robbery.csv");
FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(csvFile);
ArrayList<Integer> robberyRates = new ArrayList();
for(CityCrime crime : crimes) {
robberyRates.add(crime.getRobbery());
}
Collections.sort(robberyRates);
}
The desired output will be for example:
Robbery,City
23511,New York
15863,Chicago
14353,Los Angeles
11371,Houston
10971,Philadelphia
etc…
Your help is appreciated. I have searched any page I can find on Google, but all I see from other example is writing to the csv from a set String ArrayList where they know the number of lines etc. Thankyou

You can try something like this:
public static void writeToFile() throws IOException {
File csvFile = new File("Robbery.csv");
try(FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(csvFile)) { // try-with-resources to be sure that fileWriter will be closed at end
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(); // Betther than String for multiple concatenation
crimes.sort(Comparator.comparingInt(CityCrime::getRobbery).reversed()); // I want to compare according to getRobbery, as Int, in reversed order
stringBuilder.append("Robbery")
.append(',')
.append("City")
.append(System.lineSeparator()); // To get new line character according to OS
for (final var crime : crimes)
stringBuilder.append(crime.getRobbery())
.append(',')
.append(crime.getCity())
.append(System.lineSeparator());
fileWriter.write(stringBuilder.toString());
}
}
If you are stuck because you can't figure out how to write a list, convert your list into a String and print the String instead.
I commented the piece of code, if you have any questions, don't hesitate.
Another solution is to use specific CSV parser library, OpenCSV for example.
It makes it easier to read and write CSV file.
Here a tutorial about OpenCSV:

How to store an ArrayList in a file?

I have a class which represents an ArrayList stored in a file, because I need an ArrayList with multiple gigabytes of data in it which is obviously too large to be stored in memory. The data is represented by a class called Field and the function Field.parse() is just for converting the Field into a String and the other way.
The Field class stores a list of (strange) chess pieces and their coordinates.
My class is working fine, but it takes a long time to add an element to the file and I need my program to run as fast as possible. Does anyone know a more efficient/faster way of doing things?
Also, I am not allowed to use external libraries/apis. Please keep that in mind.
This is the class which is responsible for storing Field objects in a temp file:
private File file;
private BufferedReader reader;
private BufferedWriter writer;
public FieldSaver() {
try {
file = File.createTempFile("chess-moves-", ".temp");
System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void add(Field field) {
try {
File temp = File.createTempFile("chess-moves-", ".temp");
writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(temp));
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null ) {
writer.write(line);
writer.newLine();
}
reader.close();
writer.write(field.parse());
writer.close();
file.delete();
file = new File(temp.getAbsolutePath());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public Field get(int n) {
try {
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
reader.readLine();
}
String line = reader.readLine();
reader.close();
return Field.parse(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
And this is the Field class:
private WildBoar wildBoar;
private HuntingDog[] huntingDogs;
private Hunter hunter;
private int size;
#Override
public String toString() {
String result = "Wildschwein: " + wildBoar.toString();
for (HuntingDog dog : huntingDogs) {
result += "; Hund: " + dog.toString();
}
return result + "; Jäger: " + hunter.toString();
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (obj instanceof Field) {
Field field = (Field) obj;
HuntingDog[] dogs = field.getHuntingDogs();
return wildBoar.equals(field.getWildBoar()) && hunter.equals(field.getHunter()) && huntingDogs[0].equals(dogs[0]) && huntingDogs[1].equals(dogs[1]) && huntingDogs[2].equals(dogs[2]);
}
return false;
}
public Field(int size, WildBoar wildBoar, HuntingDog[] huntingDogs, Hunter hunter) {
this.size = size;
this.wildBoar = wildBoar;
this.huntingDogs = huntingDogs;
this.hunter = hunter;
}
public WildBoar getWildBoar() {
return wildBoar;
}
public HuntingDog[] getHuntingDogs() {
return huntingDogs;
}
public Hunter getHunter() {
return hunter;
}
public int getSize() {
return size;
}
public static Field parse(String s) {
String[] arr = s.split(",");
WildBoar boar = WildBoar.parse(arr[0]);
Hunter hunter = Hunter.parse(arr[1]);
HuntingDog[] dogs = new HuntingDog[arr.length - 2];
for(int i = 2; i < arr.length; i++) {
dogs[i - 2] = HuntingDog.parse(arr[i]);
}
return new Field(8, boar, dogs, hunter);
}
public String parse() {
String result = wildBoar.parse() + "," + hunter.parse();
for(HuntingDog dog : huntingDogs) {
result += "," + dog.parse();
}
return result;
}

Here's an MCVE to do what you want, based on the information you provided.
You can run it and see that it can save a Field to the file and get a Field by index very quickly.
The Fields are constant length, so you can get a Field by index by going to byte offset of index times field length in bytes. This would be significantly more difficult if the field were not constant length.

Use a Map implementation like Cache from ehcache. This library will optimize for you so you don't have to handle writing and reading to disk and manage when to keep it in memory or on disk. You can just use it as a normal map. You probably want a map instead of a list for faster lookup so the library can optimize even more for you.
http://www.ehcache.org/
CacheManager cacheManager = CacheManagerBuilder.newCacheManagerBuilder()
.withCache("preConfigured",
CacheConfigurationBuilder.newCacheConfigurationBuilder(Long.class, String.class,
ResourcePoolsBuilder.heap(100))
.build())
.build(true);
Cache<Long, String> preConfigured
= cacheManager.getCache("preConfigured", Long.class, String.class);

Reader-Writer and priority

I'm working on a system Reader-Writer with the Java threads, and it must be prioritized : the reader has the priority over the writer.
I wrote a source-code, which compiles and can be executed without any problem. But I would want to be really sure it's correct.
Can you tell me if you see some errors ?
Well, first I have to explain you the aim of my little program. At regular intervals, a message is displayed to the user. The latter can modify it, and change its display delay (the "interval of time"). A message is identified by an ID.
So if the user type : 0 \n Hello \n 2, it means the message n°0 is now "Hello" and will be displayed every 2 seconds.
Each message is taken care by a thread. I have to use semaphores.
SOURCE-CODES.
The reader :
public class Lecteur extends Thread {
private Message<String> message;
public Lecteur(Message<String> message) {
this.message = message;
}
public void run() {
try {
while(true) {
System.out.println(message.getContent());
int time = message.getRefresh_time()*1000;
Thread.sleep(time);
}
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
The writer :
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class GestionnaireSaisie extends Thread {
private HashMap<Integer, Message<String>> messages;
public GestionnaireSaisie(HashMap<Integer, Message<String>> messages) {
this.messages = messages;
}
public void run() {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int id;
String content;
int time_refresh;
while (true) {
id = scanner.nextInt();
content = scanner.next();
time_refresh = scanner.nextInt();
Message<String> found_msg = messages.get(id);
found_msg.setContent(content);
found_msg.setRefreshTime(time_refresh);
}
}
}
And the most interesting class, the shared object which contains shared data :
import java.util.concurrent.Semaphore;
public class Message<T> {
private static int maxid;
private int id;
private T content;
private int refresh_time;
public Semaphore mutex_content, mutex_refresh_time, semNbl;
public static int nbL = 0;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public Message(T content, int refresh_time, Semaphore mutex_content, Semaphore mutex_refresh_time, Semaphore semNbl) {
id = maxid;
Message.maxid++;
this.content = content;
this.refresh_time = refresh_time;
this.mutex_content = mutex_content;
this.mutex_refresh_time = mutex_refresh_time;
this.semNbl = semNbl;
}
// <!-- CONTENT
public void setContent(T content) {
try {
mutex_content.acquire();
this.content = content;
mutex_content.release();
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
public T getContent() {
T ret = null;
try {
semNbl.acquire();
Message.nbL++;
if(Message.nbL == 1) {
mutex_content.acquire();
}
semNbl.release();
ret = content;
semNbl.acquire();
Message.nbL--;
if(Message.nbL == 0) {
mutex_content.release();
}
semNbl.release();
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
return ret;
}
// CONTENT -->
// <!-- REFRESH TIME
public void setRefreshTime(int refresh_time) {
try {
mutex_refresh_time.acquire();
this.refresh_time = refresh_time;
mutex_refresh_time.release();
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
public int getRefresh_time() {
int ret = 0;
try {
semNbl.acquire();
Message.nbL++;
if(Message.nbL == 1) {
mutex_refresh_time.acquire();
}
semNbl.release();
ret = refresh_time;
semNbl.acquire();
Message.nbL--;
if(Message.nbL == 0) {
mutex_refresh_time.release();
}
semNbl.release();
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
return ret;
}
// REFRESH TIME -->
}
Here some code to test it :
Semaphore mutex_content = new Semaphore(1);
Semaphore mutex_refresh_time = new Semaphore(1);
Semaphore semNbl = new Semaphore(1);
Message<String> message1 = new Message<String>("Bonjour le monde !", 5, mutex_content, mutex_refresh_time, semNbl);
new Lecteur(message1).start();
HashMap<Integer, Message<String>> messages = new HashMap<Integer, Message<String>>();
messages.put(message1.getId(), message1);
GestionnaireSaisie gs = new GestionnaireSaisie(messages);
gs.start();

Another serialization issue

I'm stuck trying to deserialize a list of Scores. I spent my entire day searching here but couldn't find a solution.. My code looks something like this:
public class Score implements Comparable<Score>, Serializable {
private String name;
private int score;
// .......
}
public class MySortedList<T> extends...implements...,Serializable {
private ArrayList<T> list;
// ....
}
public class ScoreManager {
private final String FILEPATH;
private final String FILENAME = "highscores.ser";
private MySortedList<Score> scoreList;
public ScoreManager() {
File workingFolder = new File("src\\games\\serialized");
if (!workingFolder.exists()) {
workingFolder.mkdir();
}
FILEPATH = workingFolder.getAbsolutePath();
if ((scoreList = loadScores()) == null) {
scoreList = new MySortedList<Score>();
}
}
public void addScore(Score score) {
scoreList.add(score);
saveScores();
}
public MySortedList<Score> getScoreList() {
return scoreList;
}
private void saveScores() {
try (ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(FILEPATH, FILENAME)))) {
out.writeObject(scoreList);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
private MySortedList<Score> loadScores() {
try (ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File(FILEPATH, FILENAME)))) {
return (MySortedList<Score>) in.readObject();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
The loadScores() method returns just an empty MySortedList everytime.
However program succesfully creates the highscores.ser file in the correct place and I have absolutely no errors. Score objects are added correctly to the MySortedList object.
Any ideas? Perhaps worth mentioning that this is a part of a bigger program made in Swing. the methods in the ScoreManager class is called when the player dies

only if it can help, this code is working for me:
class Score implements Comparable<Score>, Serializable{
private int point;
public Score(int point) {
this.point = point;
}
public int getPoint(){
return point;
}
#Override
public int compareTo(Score o) {
if (o.getPoint() == this.getPoint())
return 0;
return this.point < o.getPoint() ? - 1 : 1;
}
public String toString() {
return "points: " + point;
}
}
class MyList<T> implements Serializable {
private ArrayList<T> list = new ArrayList<>();
public void add(T e){
list.add(e);
}
public void show() {
System.out.println(list);
}
}
public class Main {
File workingFolder;
String FILEPATH;
private final String FILENAME = "highscores.ser";
MyList<Score> list = new MyList<>();
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main main = new Main();
main.createFolder();
main.addItems();
main.saveScores();
MyList<Score> tempList = main.loadScores();
tempList.show();
main.addMoreItems();
main.saveScores();
tempList = main.loadScores();
tempList.show();
}
private void addItems() {
Score sc = new Score(10);
list.add(sc);
}
private void addMoreItems() {
Score sc1 = new Score(20);
list.add(sc1);
Score sc2 = new Score(30);
list.add(sc2);
}
private void createFolder() {
workingFolder = new File("src\\games\\serialized");
if (!workingFolder.exists()) {
workingFolder.mkdir();
}
FILEPATH = workingFolder.getAbsolutePath();
}
private void saveScores() {
System.out.println("before save: " + list);
try (ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(FILEPATH, FILENAME)))) {
out.writeObject(list);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
private MyList<Score> loadScores() {
try (ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File(FILEPATH, FILENAME)))) {
return (MyList<Score>) in.readObject();
} catch (Exception e) {

}
return null;
}
}

Issue loading data from csv file - Java

As it stands I have a data set in the form of a .csv file which you can find here. Also there is some brief documentation on it which you can find here. What I am attempting to do is to manipulate the data set so that I can work with some machine learning algorithms but as it stands I can't seem to print the outputted data to the console
ImageMatrix.java
import java.util.Arrays;
public class ImageMatrix {
public static int[] data;
public int classCode;
public ImageMatrix(int[] data, int classCode) {
assert data.length == 64;
}
public String toString() {
return "Class Code: " + classCode + " DataSet:" + Arrays.toString(data) + "\n";
}
public int[] getData() {
return data;
}
public int getClassCode() {
return classCode;
}
}
ImageMatrixDB.java
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

try (FileReader fr = new FileReader(f);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr)) {
for (String line; null != (line = br.readLine()); ) {
int lastComma = line.lastIndexOf(',');
int classCode = Integer.parseInt(line.substring(1 + lastComma));
int[] data = Arrays.stream(line.substring(0, lastComma).split(","))
.mapToInt(Integer::parseInt)
.toArray();
result.list.add(new ImageMatrix(data, classCode));

}
}
The error is within my main function on the line i.load(... I know I must be missing something or have made a mistake somewhere, I have tried altering the data from static but it just throws more errors and I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Your issue is in the ImageMatrix class.
You never set the int[] data in the constructor. You have:
public ImageMatrix(int[] data, int classCode) {
assert data.length == 64;
}
You need:
public ImageMatrix(int[] data, int classCode) {
assert data.length == 64;
this.data = data;
this.classCode = classCode;
}
Here is your updated/complete/working code:
ImageMatrix:
import java.util.*;
public class ImageMatrix {
private int[] data;
private int classCode;
public ImageMatrix(int[] data, int classCode) {
assert data.length == 64;
this.data = data;
this.classCode = classCode;
}
public String toString() {
return "Class Code: " + classCode + " DataSet:" + Arrays.toString(data) + "\n";
}
public int[] getData() {
return data;
}
public int getClassCode() {
return classCode;
}
}
ImageMatrixDB:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ImageMatrixDB implements Iterable<ImageMatrix> {
private List<ImageMatrix> list = new ArrayList<ImageMatrix>();
public ImageMatrixDB load(String f) throws IOException {

Your load method can throw an IOException. You need to catch it in order to successfully compile
public static void main(String[] args){
ImageMatrixDB i = new ImageMatrixDB();
try{
i.load("dataset1.csv"); // <<< ERROR IS HERE
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
