Parse ListView Filters for use in SOQL

I need a way for a user to pick any ListView they created, and turn it into a SOQL statement. Is this possible? If so, what would it take to do it?

You can read the Listview filters by reading the meta data using the MetadataService.cls (financial force google for it) then use the code like:
/**
  * Create a metadata service to get access to the metadata
  * @return MetadataService.MetadataPort
  **/
public MetadataService.MetadataPort createService() {
  MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort();
  service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element();
  service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();
  return service; 
}

/**
     * read the listview object to read the listview metadata
     * only do this ones during its livecycle
     **/
public void readListViews() {
  if (this.listViews==null) {
   MetadataService.MetadataPort service = createService();
  
   this.listViews =
    ((MetadataService.CustomObject) service.readMetadata('CustomObject',
     new String[] { 'MyListView' }).getRecords()[0]).listViews;
  }
}

And of course you need to parse the filters and filter logic using the MetadataService.cls.

Good luck
