Class ArrayListMultimap<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  com.google.common.collect.ArrayListMultimap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ListMultimap<K,V>, Multimap<K,V>, Serializable

public final class ArrayListMultimap<K,V>
extends Object

Implementation of Multimap that uses an ArrayList to store the values for a given key. A HashMap associates each key with an ArrayList of values.

When iterating through the collections supplied by this class, the ordering of values for a given key agrees with the order in which the values were added.

This multimap allows duplicate key-value pairs. After adding a new key-value pair equal to an existing key-value pair, the ArrayListMultimap will contain entries for both the new value and the old value.

Keys and values may be null. All optional multimap methods are supported, and all returned views are modifiable.

The lists returned by get(K), removeAll(java.lang.Object), and replaceValues(K, java.lang.Iterable) all implement RandomAccess.

This class is not threadsafe when any concurrent operations update the multimap. Concurrent read operations will work correctly. To allow concurrent update operations, wrap your multimap with a call to Multimaps.synchronizedListMultimap(com.google.common.collect.ListMultimap).

Method Detail

create

Constructs an empty ArrayListMultimap with enough capacity to hold the specified numbers of keys and values without resizing.

Parameters:

expectedKeys - the expected number of distinct keys

Reduces the memory used by this ArrayListMultimap, if feasible.

get

public List<V> get(@Nullable
                   K key)

Returns a collection view of all values associated with a key. If no mappings in the multimap have the provided key, an empty collection is returned.

Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.

The returned collection is not serializable.

Specified by:

get in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

get in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to search for in multimap

                         Object key)

Removes all values associated with a given key.

The returned collection is immutable.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

Specified by:

removeAll in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key of entries to remove from the multimap

Returns:

the collection of removed values, or an empty collection if no values were associated with the provided key. The collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.

replaceValues

public List<V> replaceValues(@Nullable
                             K key,
                             Iterable<? extends V> values)

The iterator generated by the returned collection traverses the values for one key, followed by the values of a second key, and so on.

Each entry is an immutable snapshot of a key-value mapping in the multimap, taken at the time the entry is returned by a method call to the collection or its iterator.

Specified by:

entries in interface Multimap<K,V>

Returns:

collection of map entries consisting of key-value pairs

asMap

public Map<K,Collection<V>> asMap()

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Returns a map view that associates each key with the corresponding values in the multimap. Changes to the returned map, such as element removal, will update the underlying multimap. The map does not support setValue() on its entries, put, or putAll.

The collections returned by asMap().get(Object) have the same behavior as those returned by Multimap.get(K).

Specified by:

asMap in interface Multimap<K,V>

Returns:

a map view from a key to its collection of values

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code for this multimap.

The hash code of a multimap is defined as the hash code of the map view, as returned by Multimap.asMap().

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Multimap<K,V>

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

See Also:

Map.hashCode()

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of the multimap, generated by calling toString on the map returned by Multimap.asMap().

Overrides:

toString in class Object
