How to get object from list with maximum date time object

Below is my code to find the contact object with the latest begin dateTime. DateTime is shown as an object.

Is there any method to simplify this code using streams and comparators.

public ContactData getLatestContact(ContactData[] contacts) {
  int latestContact = 0;
  for (int i = 1; i < contacts.length; i++) {
    if (DateTimeToolkit.compare(contacts[i].begin, contacts[latestContact].begin) > 0) {
      latestContact = i;
    }
  }
  return contacts[latestContact];
}

Answer

I’m assuming that begin is a java.util.Date or any other Comparable? Then you could do:

public ContactData getLatestContact(ContactData[] contacts) {
    return Stream.of(contacts).sorted((a, b) -> DateTimeToolkit.compare(a.begin, b.begin)).findFirst().get();
}
