Store the scanned value in array and find the largest value in Android

Question

In my Beacon application I am getting different values of RSSI through beacon.getRSSI(). Now I want to get the max value of RSSI of all the scanned beacons. So I thought the possible solution will be array. Can anyone helpout how to do this?

Answer 1

Put all the Beacon objects into a Collection (List, Set), then use Collections.max to get the beacon with the highest RSSI. javadoc

List<Beacon> beacons = new ArrayList<Beacon>();
// add all the beacons
beacons.add(beacon);

(...)

Beacon maxBeacon = Collections.max(beacons, new Comparator<Beacon>(){
    public int compare(Beacon b1, Beacon b2) {
        return Integer.compare(b1.getRSSI(), b2.getRSSI);
    }
}
