Georgi Michev :
I have a class
class Person {
public List<BaseballPlayer> baseballPlayers;
public List<MmaFighter> mmaFighters;
public List<RugbyPlayer> rugbyPlayers;
}
In every object player there is String property for his id. I am trying to collect all ids in list which I do
List<String> baseballPlayersIds = person.baseballPlayers.stream()
.map(s -> s.getId()).collect(Collectors.toList());
List<String> mmaFightersIds = person.mmaFighters.stream()
.map(s -> s.getId()).collect(Collectors.toList());
List<String> rugbyPlayersIds = person.rugbyPlayers.stream()
.map(s -> s.getId()).collect(Collectors.toList());
baseballPlayersIds.addAll(mmaFightersIds);
baseballPlayersIds.addAll(rugbyPlayersIds);
Now I am trying to simplify things and improve logic by using Stream.concat()
Stream<List<BaseballPlayer>> baseballPlayersIdsStream = Stream.of(person.baseballPlayers);
Stream<List<MmaFighter>> mmaFightersIdsStream = Stream.of(person.mmaFighters);
Stream<List<RugbyPlayer>> rugbyPlayersIdsStream = Stream.of(person.rugbyPlayers);
Stream<List<? extends Object>> personStream = Stream.concat(baseballPlayersIdsStream, Stream.concat(mmaFightersIdsStream, rugbyPlayersIdsStream));
but I cannot figure should I use generics for type of new stream that comes out of the 3 streams? Also tried to create parent class for all 3 classes to use in the stream diamand instead of Object. This personStream is in doubt.

Try this.
List<String> allIds = Stream.of(
person.baseballPlayers.stream().map(p -> p.getId()),
person.mmaFighters.stream().map(p -> p.getId()),
person.rugbyPlayers.stream().map(p -> p.getId()))
.flatMap(s -> s)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
Or
List<String> allIds = Stream.of(
person.baseballPlayers.stream().map(BaseballPlayer::getId),
person.mmaFighters.stream().map(MmaFighter::getId),
person.rugbyPlayers.stream().map(RugbyPlayer::getId))
.flatMap(Function.identity())
.collect(Collectors.toList());
