Class ImmutableBiMap<K,​V>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    BiMap<K,​V>, Serializable, Map<K,​V>

    @GwtCompatible(serializable=true,
                   emulated=true)
    public abstract class ImmutableBiMap<K,​V>
    extends ImmutableMap<K,​V>
    implements BiMap<K,​V>
    An immutable BiMap with reliable user-specified iteration order. Does not permit null keys or values. An ImmutableBiMap and its inverse have the same iteration ordering.

    An instance of ImmutableBiMap contains its own data and will never change. ImmutableBiMap is convenient for public static final maps ("constant maps") and also lets you easily make a "defensive copy" of a bimap provided to your class by a caller.

    Note: Although this class is not final, it cannot be subclassed as it has no public or protected constructors. Thus, instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.

        Returns an immutable map containing the given entries, in order.

      • copyOf

        public static <K,​V> ImmutableBiMap<K,​V> copyOf​(Map<? extends K,​? extends V> map)
        Returns an immutable bimap containing the same entries as map. If map somehow contains entries with duplicate keys (for example, if it is a SortedMap whose comparator is not consistent with equals), the results of this method are undefined.

        Despite the method name, this method attempts to avoid actually copying the data when it is safe to do so. The exact circumstances under which a copy will or will not be performed are undocumented and subject to change.

        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if two keys have the same value
        NullPointerException - if any key or value in map is null
      • inverse

        public abstract ImmutableBiMap<V,​K> inverse()
        Returns the inverse view of this bimap, which maps each of this bimap's values to its associated key. The two bimaps are backed by the same data; any changes to one will appear in the other.

        Note:There is no guaranteed correspondence between the iteration order of a bimap and that of its inverse.

        The inverse of an ImmutableBiMap is another ImmutableBiMap.

        Specified by:
        inverse in interface BiMap<K,​V>
        Returns:
        the inverse view of this bimap
      • values

        public ImmutableSet<V> values()
        Returns an immutable set of the values in this map. The values are in the same order as the parameters used to build this map.
        Specified by:
        values in interface BiMap<K,​V>

        Unsupported operation.
        Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the bimap unmodified.
        Specified by:
        forcePut in interface BiMap<K,​V>
        Parameters:
        key - the key with which the specified value is to be associated
        value - the value to be associated with the specified key
        Returns:
        the value which was previously associated with the key, which may be null, or null if there was no previous entry
        Throws:
        UnsupportedOperationException - always
