Here I am going to show you how to filter null values from Java8 Stream.

Java 8 Stream Example:

package com.onlinetutorialspoint.java8;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class Java8_FilterNullValues_Stream {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Stream<String> deptList = Stream.of(new String("IT"), new String("HR"),
                null, new String("Development"), null,
                new String("Recruitment"));
        showData(deptList);
    }

    public static void showData(Stream<String> deptList) {
        List<String> result = deptList.collect(Collectors.toList());
        result.forEach(System.out::println);
    }
}

Output:

IT
HR
null
Development
null
Recruitment

On the above output, we can see that there are several null values. We can filter null values by the below solution.

Filter null values :

We can filter the null values by applying the condition in filter(x != null) method.

package com.onlinetutorialspoint.java8;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class Java8_FilterNullValues_Stream {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Stream<String> deptList = Stream.of(new String("IT"), new String("HR"),
                null, new String("Development"), null,
                new String("Recruitment"));
        removeNullObjets(deptList);
    }

    public static void removeNullObjets(Stream<String> deptList) {
        List<String> result = deptList.filter(x -> x != null).collect(
                Collectors.toList());
        result.forEach(System.out::println);
    }

}

Output:

IT
HR
Development
Recruitment

Happy Learning 🙂
