¿Cómo se comparan dos cadenas de versión en Java?

¿Existe un idioma estándar para comparar números de versión? No puedo usar un String compareTo directo porque aún no sé cuál será el número máximo de lanzamientos de puntos. Necesito comparar las versiones y decir lo siguiente:

1.0 < 1.1
1.0.1 < 1.1
1.9 < 1.10

Tokenice las cadenas con el punto como delimitador y luego compare la traducción entera de lado a lado, comenzando desde la izquierda.

Otra solución para esta publicación anterior (para aquellos que podría ayudar):

public class Version implements Comparable<Version> {

    private String version;

    public final String get() {
        return this.version;
    }

    public Version(String version) {
        if(version == null)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Version can not be null");
        if(!version.matches("[0-9]+(\\.[0-9]+)*"))
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid version format");
        this.version = version;
    }

    @Override public int compareTo(Version that) {
        if(that == null)
            return 1;
        String[] thisParts = this.get().split("\\.");
        String[] thatParts = that.get().split("\\.");
        int length = Math.max(thisParts.length, thatParts.length);
        for(int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
            int thisPart = i < thisParts.length ?
                Integer.parseInt(thisParts[i]) : 0;
            int thatPart = i < thatParts.length ?
                Integer.parseInt(thatParts[i]) : 0;
            if(thisPart < thatPart)
                return -1;
            if(thisPart > thatPart)
                return 1;
        }
        return 0;
    }

    @Override public boolean equals(Object that) {
        if(this == that)
            return true;
        if(that == null)
            return false;
        if(this.getClass() != that.getClass())
            return false;
        return this.compareTo((Version) that) == 0;
    }

}

Version a = new Version("1.1");
Version b = new Version("1.1.1");
a.compareTo(b) // return -1 (a<b)
a.equals(b)    // return false

Version a = new Version("2.0");
Version b = new Version("1.9.9");
a.compareTo(b) // return 1 (a>b)
a.equals(b)    // return false

Version a = new Version("1.0");
Version b = new Version("1");
a.compareTo(b) // return 0 (a=b)
a.equals(b)    // return true

Version a = new Version("1");
Version b = null;
a.compareTo(b) // return 1 (a>b)
a.equals(b)    // return false

List<Version> versions = new ArrayList<Version>();
versions.add(new Version("2"));
versions.add(new Version("1.0.5"));
versions.add(new Version("1.01.0"));
versions.add(new Version("1.00.1"));
Collections.min(versions).get() // return min version
Collections.max(versions).get() // return max version

// WARNING
Version a = new Version("2.06");
Version b = new Version("2.060");
a.equals(b)    // return false

@daiscog: Gracias por su comentario, este código ha sido desarrollado para la plataforma Android y, según lo recomendado por Google, el método "coincide" verifica toda la cadena a diferencia de Java que usa un patrón regulatorio. ( Documentación de Android - documentación de JAVA )

Es realmente fácil usar Maven:

import org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.DefaultArtifactVersion;

DefaultArtifactVersion minVersion = new DefaultArtifactVersion("1.0.1");
DefaultArtifactVersion maxVersion = new DefaultArtifactVersion("1.10");

DefaultArtifactVersion version = new DefaultArtifactVersion("1.11");

if (version.compareTo(minVersion) < 0 || version.compareTo(maxVersion) > 0) {
    System.out.println("Sorry, your version is unsupported");
}

Puede obtener la cadena de dependencia correcta para Maven Artifact desde esta página :

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-artifact</artifactId>
<version>3.0.3</version>
</dependency>

Debe normalizar las cadenas de versión para poder compararlas. Algo como

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        compare("1.0", "1.1");
        compare("1.0.1", "1.1");
        compare("1.9", "1.10");
        compare("1.a", "1.9");
    }

    private static void compare(String v1, String v2) {
        String s1 = normalisedVersion(v1);
        String s2 = normalisedVersion(v2);
        int cmp = s1.compareTo(s2);
        String cmpStr = cmp < 0 ? "<" : cmp > 0 ? ">" : "==";
        System.out.printf("'%s' %s '%s'%n", v1, cmpStr, v2);
    }

    public static String normalisedVersion(String version) {
        return normalisedVersion(version, ".", 4);
    }

    public static String normalisedVersion(String version, String sep, int maxWidth) {
        String[] split = Pattern.compile(sep, Pattern.LITERAL).split(version);
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        for (String s : split) {
            sb.append(String.format("%" + maxWidth + 's', s));
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
}

Huellas dactilares

'1.0' < '1.1'
'1.0.1' < '1.1'
'1.9' < '1.10'
'1.a' > '1.9'

Lo mejor para reutilizar el código existente, tome la clase Marable's ComparableVersion

ventajas:

• Licencia Apache, Versión 2.0,
• probado
• utilizado (copiado) en múltiples proyectos como spring-security-core, jboss, etc.
• múltiple funciones
• ya es un java.lang.Comparable
• simplemente copie y pegue esa clase, sin dependencias de terceros

No incluya la dependencia del artefacto maven, ya que eso extraerá varias dependencias transitivas

1.3-SNAPSHOT == 1.3-SNAPSHOT  --->  same length and value

Preguntándome por qué todo el mundo supone que las versiones solo están compuestas de enteros, en mi caso no fue así.

Por qué reinventar la rueda (suponiendo que la versión siga el estándar Semver)

Primero instale https://github.com/vdurmont/semver4j a través de Maven

Entonces usa esta biblioteca

Semver sem = new Semver("1.2.3");
sem.isGreaterThan("1.2.2"); // true

public static int compareVersions(String version1, String version2){

    String[] levels1 = version1.split("\\.");
    String[] levels2 = version2.split("\\.");

    int length = Math.max(levels1.length, levels2.length);
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++){
        Integer v1 = i < levels1.length ? Integer.parseInt(levels1[i]) : 0;
        Integer v2 = i < levels2.length ? Integer.parseInt(levels2[i]) : 0;
        int compare = v1.compareTo(v2);
        if (compare != 0){
            return compare;
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

Si ya tiene Jackson en su proyecto, puede usar com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Version:

import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.Version;
import org.junit.Test;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;

public class VersionTest {

    @Test
    public void shouldCompareVersion() {
        Version version1 = new Version(1, 11, 1, null, null, null);
        Version version2 = new Version(1, 12, 1, null, null, null);
        assertTrue(version1.compareTo(version2) < 0);
    }
}

public int compare(String v1, String v2) {
        v1 = v1.replaceAll("\\s", "");
        v2 = v2.replaceAll("\\s", "");
        String[] a1 = v1.split("\\.");
        String[] a2 = v2.split("\\.");
        List<String> l1 = Arrays.asList(a1);
        List<String> l2 = Arrays.asList(a2);


        int i=0;
        while(true){
            Double d1 = null;
            Double d2 = null;

            try{
                d1 = Double.parseDouble(l1.get(i));
            }catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException e){
            }

            try{
                d2 = Double.parseDouble(l2.get(i));
            }catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException e){
            }

            if (d1 != null && d2 != null) {
                if (d1.doubleValue() > d2.doubleValue()) {
                    return 1;
                } else if (d1.doubleValue() < d2.doubleValue()) {
                    return -1;
                }
            } else if (d2 == null && d1 != null) {
                if (d1.doubleValue() > 0) {
                    return 1;
                }
            } else if (d1 == null && d2 != null) {
                if (d2.doubleValue() > 0) {
                    return -1;
                }
            } else {
                break;
            }
            i++;
        }
        return 0;
    }

Escribí una biblioteca de código abierto llamada MgntUtils que tiene una utilidad que funciona con versiones de cadenas. Los compara correctamente, funciona con rangos de versiones, etc. Aquí está esta biblioteca javadoc Ver métodos TextUtils.comapreVersions(...). Ha sido muy utilizado y bien probado. Aquí está el artículo que describe la biblioteca y dónde obtenerla. Está disponible como artefacto Maven y en el github (con fuentes y JavaDoc)

para mis proyectos utilizo mi biblioteca de versiones comunes https://github.com/raydac/commons-version , contiene dos clases auxiliares: para analizar la versión (la versión analizada se puede comparar con otro objeto de versión porque es comparable) y VersionValidator que permite verificar la versión para alguna expresión como!=ide-1.1.1,>idea-1.3.4-SNAPSHOT;<1.2.3

Creé una utilidad simple para comparar versiones en la plataforma Android usando la convención de versiones semánticas . Por lo tanto, solo funciona para cadenas en formato XYZ (Major.Minor.Patch) donde X, Y y Z son enteros no negativos. Lo puedes encontrar en mi GitHub .

Método Version.compareVersions (String v1, String v2) compara dos cadenas de versión. Devuelve 0 si las versiones son iguales, 1 si la versión v1 es anterior a la versión v2, -1 si la versión v1 es posterior a la versión v2, -2 si el formato de la versión no es válido.

public int CompareVersions(String version1, String version2)
{
    String[] string1Vals = version1.split("\\.");
    String[] string2Vals = version2.split("\\.");

    int length = Math.max(string1Vals.length, string2Vals.length);

    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        Integer v1 = (i < string1Vals.length)?Integer.parseInt(string1Vals[i]):0;
        Integer v2 = (i < string2Vals.length)?Integer.parseInt(string2Vals[i]):0;

        //Making sure Version1 bigger than version2
        if (v1 > v2)
        {
            return 1;
        }
        //Making sure Version1 smaller than version2
        else if(v1 < v2)
        {
            return -1;
        }
    }

    //Both are equal
    return 0;
}

@ Alex puesto en Kotlin

class Version(inputVersion: String) : Comparable<Version> {

        var version: String
            private set

        override fun compareTo(other: Version) =
            (split() to other.split()).let {(thisParts, thatParts)->
                val length = max(thisParts.size, thatParts.size)
                for (i in 0 until length) {
                    val thisPart = if (i < thisParts.size) thisParts[i].toInt() else 0
                    val thatPart = if (i < thatParts.size) thatParts[i].toInt() else 0
                    if (thisPart < thatPart) return -1
                    if (thisPart > thatPart) return 1
                }
                 0
            }

        init {
            require(inputVersion.matches("[0-9]+(\\.[0-9]+)*".toRegex())) { "Invalid version format" }
            version = inputVersion
        }
    }

    fun Version.split() = version.split(".").toTypedArray()

uso:

Version("1.2.4").compareTo(Version("0.0.5")) //return 1

Escribí una pequeña función yo mismo. Simple usando listas

 public static boolean checkVersionUpdate(String olderVerison, String newVersion) {
        if (olderVerison.length() == 0 || newVersion.length() == 0) {
            return false;
        }
        List<String> newVerList = Arrays.asList(newVersion.split("\\."));
        List<String> oldVerList = Arrays.asList(olderVerison.split("\\."));

        int diff = newVerList.size() - oldVerList.size();
        List<String> newList = new ArrayList<>();
        if (diff > 0) {
            newList.addAll(oldVerList);
            for (int i = 0; i < diff; i++) {
                newList.add("0");
            }
            return examineArray(newList, newVerList, diff);
        } else if (diff < 0) {
            newList.addAll(newVerList);
            for (int i = 0; i < -diff; i++) {
                newList.add("0");
            }
            return examineArray(oldVerList, newList, diff);
        } else {
            return examineArray(oldVerList, newVerList, diff);
        }

    }

    public static boolean examineArray(List<String> oldList, List<String> newList, int diff) {
        boolean newVersionGreater = false;
        for (int i = 0; i < oldList.size(); i++) {
            if (Integer.parseInt(newList.get(i)) > Integer.parseInt(oldList.get(i))) {
                newVersionGreater = true;
                break;
            } else if (Integer.parseInt(newList.get(i)) < Integer.parseInt(oldList.get(i))) {
                newVersionGreater = false;
                break;
            } else {
                newVersionGreater = diff > 0;
            }
        }

        return newVersionGreater;
    }

He escrito una pequeña biblioteca Java / Android para comparar números de versión: https://github.com/G00fY2/version-compare

Lo que básicamente hace es esto:

  public int compareVersions(String versionA, String versionB) {
    String[] versionTokensA = versionA.split("\\.");
    String[] versionTokensB = versionB.split("\\.");
    List<Integer> versionNumbersA = new ArrayList<>();
    List<Integer> versionNumbersB = new ArrayList<>();

    for (String versionToken : versionTokensA) {
      versionNumbersA.add(Integer.parseInt(versionToken));
    }
    for (String versionToken : versionTokensB) {
      versionNumbersB.add(Integer.parseInt(versionToken));
    }

    final int versionASize = versionNumbersA.size();
    final int versionBSize = versionNumbersB.size();
    int maxSize = Math.max(versionASize, versionBSize);

    for (int i = 0; i < maxSize; i++) {
      if ((i < versionASize ? versionNumbersA.get(i) : 0) > (i < versionBSize ? versionNumbersB.get(i) : 0)) {
        return 1;
      } else if ((i < versionASize ? versionNumbersA.get(i) : 0) < (i < versionBSize ? versionNumbersB.get(i) : 0)) {
        return -1;
      }
    }
    return 0;
  }

Este fragmento no ofrece ninguna comprobación o manejo de errores. Además de que mi biblioteca también es compatible con sufijos como "1.2-rc"> "1.2-beta".

Uso de Java 8 Stream para reemplazar los ceros a la izquierda en los componentes. Este código pasó todas las pruebas en entrevistasbit.com

public int compareVersion(String A, String B) {
    List<String> strList1 = Arrays.stream(A.split("\\."))
                                           .map(s -> s.replaceAll("^0+(?!$)", ""))
                                           .collect(Collectors.toList());
    List<String> strList2 = Arrays.stream(B.split("\\."))
                                           .map(s -> s.replaceAll("^0+(?!$)", ""))
                                           .collect(Collectors.toList());
    int len1 = strList1.size();
    int len2 = strList2.size();
    int i = 0;
    while(i < len1 && i < len2){
        if (strList1.get(i).length() > strList2.get(i).length()) return 1;
        if (strList1.get(i).length() < strList2.get(i).length()) return -1;
        int result = new Long(strList1.get(i)).compareTo(new Long(strList2.get(i)));
        if (result != 0) return result;
        i++;
    }
    while (i < len1){
        if (!strList1.get(i++).equals("0")) return 1;
    }
    while (i < len2){
        if (!strList2.get(i++).equals("0")) return -1;
    }
    return 0;
}

Como ninguna respuesta en esta página maneja bien el texto mixto, hice mi propia versión:

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

class Main {
    static double parseVersion(String v) {
        if (v.isEmpty()) {
            return 0;
        }
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^(\\D*)(\\d*)(\\D*)$");
        Matcher m = p.matcher(v);
    m.find();
    if (m.group(2).isEmpty()) {
      // v1.0.0.[preview]
      return -1;
    }
        double i = Integer.parseInt(m.group(2));
    if (!m.group(3).isEmpty()) {
      // v1.0.[0b]
      i -= 0.1;
    }
    return i;
    }

    public static int versionCompare(String str1, String str2) {
        String[] v1 = str1.split("\\.");
        String[] v2 = str2.split("\\.");
        int i = 0;
        for (; i < v1.length && i < v2.length; i++) {
            double iv1 = parseVersion(v1[i]);
            double iv2 = parseVersion(v2[i]);

            if (iv1 != iv2) {
                return iv1 - iv2 < 0 ? -1 : 1;
            }
        }
        if (i < v1.length) {
      // "1.0.1", "1.0"
            double iv1 = parseVersion(v1[i]);
            return iv1 < 0 ? -1 : (int)Math.ceil(iv1);
        }
        if (i < v2.length) {
            double iv2 = parseVersion(v2[i]);
            return - iv2 < 0 ? -1 : (int)Math.ceil(iv2);
        }
        return 0;
    }


  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("versionCompare(v1.0.0, 1.0.0)");
    System.out.println(versionCompare("v1.0.0", "1.0.0")); // 0

    System.out.println("versionCompare(v1.0.0b, 1.0.0)");
    System.out.println(versionCompare("v1.0.0b", "1.0.0")); // -1

    System.out.println("versionCompare(v1.0.0.preview, 1.0.0)");
    System.out.println(versionCompare("v1.0.0.preview", "1.0.0")); // -1

    System.out.println("versionCompare(v1.0, 1.0.0)");
    System.out.println(versionCompare("v1.0", "1.0.0")); // 0

    System.out.println("versionCompare(ver1.0, 1.0.1)");
    System.out.println(versionCompare("ver1.0", "1.0.1")); // -1
  }
}

Sin embargo, todavía se queda corto en los casos en los que necesita comparar "alfa" con "beta".

Para alguien que va a mostrar Force Update Alert según el número de versión, tengo una idea siguiente. Esto se puede usar al comparar las versiones entre la versión actual de la aplicación Android y la versión de configuración remota de Firebase. Esta no es exactamente la respuesta a la pregunta, pero definitivamente ayudará a alguien.

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Main
{
  static String firebaseVersion = "2.1.3"; // or 2.1
  static String appVersion = "2.1.4";
  static List<String> firebaseVersionArray;
  static List<String> appVersionArray;
  static boolean isNeedToShowAlert = false;
  public static void main (String[]args)
  {
    System.out.println ("Hello World");
    firebaseVersionArray = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(firebaseVersion.split ("\\.")));
    appVersionArray = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(appVersion.split ("\\.")));
    if(appVersionArray.size() < firebaseVersionArray.size()) {
        appVersionArray.add("0");
    }
    if(firebaseVersionArray.size() < appVersionArray.size()) {
        firebaseVersionArray.add("0");
    }
    isNeedToShowAlert = needToShowAlert(); //Returns false
    System.out.println (isNeedToShowAlert);

  }
  static boolean needToShowAlert() {
      boolean result = false;
      for(int i = 0 ; i < appVersionArray.size() ; i++) {
          if (Integer.parseInt(appVersionArray.get(i)) == Integer.parseInt(firebaseVersionArray.get(i))) {
              continue;
          } else if (Integer.parseInt(appVersionArray.get(i)) > Integer.parseInt(firebaseVersionArray.get(i))){
             result = false;
             break;
          } else if (Integer.parseInt(appVersionArray.get(i)) < Integer.parseInt(firebaseVersionArray.get(i))) {
             result = true;
             break;  
          }
      }
      return result;
  }
}

Puede ejecutar este código copiando y pegando en https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_java_compiler

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String version1 = "1.0";
    String version2 = "1.0.0";
    String[] version1_splits = version1.split("\\.");
    String[] version2_splits = version2.split("\\.");
    int length = version1_splits.length >= version2_splits.length ? version1_splits.length : version2_splits.length;
    int i=0;
    for(;i<length;i++){
        int version1_int = getValue(version1_splits,i);
        int version2_int = getValue(version2_splits,i);
        if(version1_int > version2_int){
            System.out.println("version1 > version2");
            break;
        }
        else if(version1_int < version2_int){
            System.out.println("version2 > version1");
            break;
        }
        else{
            if(i == length-1)
            System.out.println("version1 = version2");
        }
    }
}

private static int getValue(String[] version1_splits, int i) {
    int temp;
    try{
        temp = Integer.valueOf(version1_splits[i]);
    }
    catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException e){
        temp=0;
    }

    return temp;
}

Lo hice ahora y me pregunté, ¿es correcto? Porque nunca antes había encontrado una solución más limpia que la mía:

Solo necesita dividir las versiones de cadena ("1.0.0") como este ejemplo:

userVersion.split("\\.")

Entonces tendrá: {"1", "0", "0"}

Ahora, usando el método que hice:

isUpdateAvailable(userVersion.split("\\."), latestVersionSplit.split("\\."));

Método:

/**
 * Compare two versions
 *
 * @param userVersionSplit   - User string array with major, minor and patch version from user (exemple: {"5", "2", "70"})
 * @param latestVersionSplit - Latest string array with major, minor and patch version from api (example: {"5", "2", "71"})
 * @return true if user version is smaller than latest version
 */
public static boolean isUpdateAvailable(String[] userVersionSplit, String[] latestVersionSplit) {

    int majorUserVersion = Integer.parseInt(userVersionSplit[0]);
    int minorUserVersion = Integer.parseInt(userVersionSplit[1]);
    int patchUserVersion = Integer.parseInt(userVersionSplit[2]);

    int majorLatestVersion = Integer.parseInt(latestVersionSplit[0]);
    int minorLatestVersion = Integer.parseInt(latestVersionSplit[1]);
    int patchLatestVersion = Integer.parseInt(latestVersionSplit[2]);

    if (majorUserVersion <= majorLatestVersion) {
        if (majorUserVersion < majorLatestVersion) {
            return true;
