Compare(Object, Object)
Compares its two arguments for order.
[Android.Runtime.Register("compare", "(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)I", "GetCompare_Ljava_lang_Object_Ljava_lang_Object_Handler")]
public virtual int Compare (Java.Lang.Object? o1, Java.Lang.Object? o2);[<Android.Runtime.Register("compare", "(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)I", "GetCompare_Ljava_lang_Object_Ljava_lang_Object_Handler")>]
abstract member Compare : Java.Lang.Object * Java.Lang.Object -> int
override this.Compare : Java.Lang.Object * Java.Lang.Object -> intParameters
- o1
- Object
- o2
- Object
Returns
a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
- Attributes
Exceptions
if object1 or object2 is not a String.
Remarks
Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
This implementation merely returns compare((String)o1, (String)o2).

Applies to
Compare(String, String)
Compares the source string to the target string according to the collation rules for this Collator.
[Android.Runtime.Register("compare", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)I", "GetCompare_Ljava_lang_String_Ljava_lang_String_Handler")]
public abstract int Compare (string? source, string? target);[<Android.Runtime.Register("compare", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)I", "GetCompare_Ljava_lang_String_Ljava_lang_String_Handler")>]
abstract member Compare : string * string -> intParameters
- source
- String
the source string.
- target
- String
the target string.
Returns
Returns an integer value. Value is less than zero if source is less than target, value is zero if source and target are equal, value is greater than zero if source is greater than target.
- Attributes
Remarks
Compares the source string to the target string according to the collation rules for this Collator. Returns an integer less than, equal to or greater than zero depending on whether the source String is less than, equal to or greater than the target string. See the Collator class description for an example of use.
For a one time comparison, this method has the best performance. If a given String will be involved in multiple comparisons, CollationKey.compareTo has the best performance. See the Collator class description for an example using CollationKeys.
