How to use java stream map inside java stream filter

Question

I have 2 arrays and want to make a list of role.getRoleName() only with elements that are in both arrays using streams.

final List<String> roleNames = new ArrayList<>();
roleNames = Arrays.stream(roles).filter(role -> role.getRoleId() 
== Arrays.stream(permissions).map(permission -> permission.getRoleId()));

when I write the above code I get

Operator '==' cannot be applied to 'int', 'java.util.stream.Stream'

I understand the error, but I don't know the solution of how to make the permissions stream in only permission.getRoleId integers.

There is no way to compare such incompatible types as int and Stream.

Judging from what you've shown, Stream#anyMatch might a good candidate.

roleNames = Arrays.stream(roles)
    .map(Role::getRoleId)
    .filter(id -> Arrays.stream(permissions).map(Role::getRoleId).anyMatch(p -> p.equals(id)))
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

This part Arrays.stream(permissions).map(Role::getRoleId) may be pre-calculated and stored into a Set.

final Set<Integer> set = Arrays.stream(permissions)
                               .map(Role::getRoleId)
                               .collect(Collectors.toSet());

roleNames = Arrays.stream(roles)
                  .filter(role -> set.contains(role.getRoleId()))
                  .map(Role::getRoleName)
                  .collect(Collectors.toList());
