Question

I have a list having field is and is_searchable data has

field_id i_searchable
1234     1
2344     0
4553     1

i am looping over the list to check if data is searchable then return true else false

 public boolean validate() {
        LOGGER.info("in validate");
        boolean isSearchValue = false;
        LOGGER.info("is isSearchable" + fieldList.size());
        for (Field formFieldValMap : fieldList) {
            if (formFieldValMap.getIsSearchableField().equals("0")) {

                isSearchValue = false;
            } else {
                isSearchValue = true;
            }
        }

        return isSearchValue;
    }

the above function is returning me true,it should me return me false.If the list has all the data in is_searchable has 1 then only it should return true.

May be the other way is assume list has all 1’s. Set it to false as soon as you see 0 and return from the loop.

  boolean isSearchValue = true;


    for (Field formFieldValMap : fieldList) {
                if (formFieldValMap.getIsSearchableField().equals("0")) {

                    isSearchValue = false;
                    return;
                } 
            }

NOTE: You may need to take care of other conditions like what do to if list empty etc.,
