Class ArrayListMultimap<K,V>

java.lang.Object

com.google.common.collect.ArrayListMultimap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

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

@GwtCompatible(serializable=true,
               emulated=true)
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 ListMultimap.get(K), ListMultimap.removeAll(java.lang.Object), and ListMultimap.replaceValues(K, java.lang.Iterable<? extends V>) 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<K, V>).

Method Detail

create

public static <K,V> ArrayListMultimap<K,V> create()

Creates a new, empty ArrayListMultimap with the default initial capacities.

create

public static <K,V> ArrayListMultimap<K,V> create(int expectedKeys,
                                                              int expectedValuesPerKey)

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

expectedValuesPerKey - the expected average number of values per key

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if expectedKeys or expectedValuesPerKey is negative

create

public static <K,V> ArrayListMultimap<K,V> create(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)

Constructs an ArrayListMultimap with the same mappings as the specified multimap.

Parameters:

multimap - the multimap whose contents are copied to this multimap

trimToSize

public void trimToSize()

Reduces the memory used by this ArrayListMultimap, if feasible.

get

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

Returns a collection view containing the values associated with key in this multimap, if any. Note that even when (containsKey(key) is false, get(key) still returns an empty collection, not null.

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

The returned collection is not serializable.

Because the values for a given key may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.

Specified by:

get in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

Specified by:

get in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to search for in multimap

Returns:

a view collection containing the zero or more values that the key maps to

removeAll

public List<V> removeAll(@Nullable
                         Object key)

Removes all values associated with a given key.

Once this method returns, key will not be mapped to any values, so it will not appear in Multimap.keySet(), Multimap.asMap(), or any other views.

The returned collection is immutable.

Because the values for a given key may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.

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)

Stores a collection of values with the same key, replacing any existing values for that key.

If values is empty, this is equivalent to removeAll(key).

The returned collection is immutable.

Because the values for a given key may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.

Specified by:

replaceValues in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

Specified by:

replaceValues in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to store in the multimap

values - values to store in the multimap

Returns:

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

put

public boolean put(@Nullable
                   K key,
                   @Nullable
                   V value)

Stores a key-value pair in the multimap.

Specified by:

put in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to store in the multimap

value - value to store in the multimap

Returns:

true always

asMap

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

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.

When passed a key that is present in the map, asMap().get(Object) has the same behavior as Multimap.get(K), returning a live collection. When passed a key that is not present, however, asMap().get(Object) returns null instead of an empty collection.

Though the method signature doesn't say so explicitly, the returned map has List values.

Specified by:

asMap in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

Specified by:

asMap in interface Multimap<K,V>

Returns:

a map view from a key to its collection of values

equals

public boolean equals(@Nullable
                      Object object)

Compares the specified object to this multimap for equality.

Two ListMultimap instances are equal if, for each key, they contain the same values in the same order. If the value orderings disagree, the multimaps will not be considered equal.

Specified by:

equals in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

Specified by:

equals in interface Multimap<K,V>

size

public int size()

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Returns the number of key-value pairs in the multimap.

Specified by:

size in interface Multimap<K,V>

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(@Nullable
                           Object key)

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Returns true if the multimap contains any values for the specified key.

Specified by:

containsKey in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to search for in multimap

clear

public void clear()

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Removes all key-value pairs from the multimap.

Specified by:

clear in interface Multimap<K,V>

values

public Collection<V> values()

Returns a collection of all values in the multimap. Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.

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

Specified by:

values in interface Multimap<K,V>

Returns:

collection of values, which may include the same value multiple times if it occurs in multiple mappings

entries

public Collection<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()

Returns a collection of all key-value pairs. Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. The entries collection does not support the add or addAll operations.

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

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Returns true if the multimap contains no key-value pairs.

Returns true if the multimap contains the specified key-value pair.

Specified by:

containsEntry in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to search for in multimap

value - value to search for in multimap

remove

public boolean remove(@Nullable
                      Object key,
                      @Nullable
                      Object value)

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Removes a single key-value pair from the multimap.

Specified by:

remove in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key of entry to remove from the multimap

value - value of entry to remove the multimap

Returns:

true if the multimap changed

putAll

public boolean putAll(@Nullable
                      K key,
                      Iterable<? extends V> values)

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Stores key-value pairs in this multimap with one key and multiple values.

This is equivalent to

   
 
   for (V value : values) {
     put(key, value);
   } 

In particular, this is a no-op if values is empty.

Specified by:

putAll in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to store in the multimap

values - values to store in the multimap

Returns:

true if the multimap changed

putAll

public boolean putAll(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Copies all of another multimap's key-value pairs into this multimap. The order in which the mappings are added is determined by multimap.entries().

Specified by:

putAll in interface Multimap<K,V>

Parameters:

multimap - mappings to store in this multimap

Returns:

true if the multimap changed

keySet

public Set<K> keySet()

Description copied from interface: Multimap

Returns the set of all keys, each appearing once in the returned set. Changes to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.

Note that the key set contains a key if and only if this multimap maps that key to at least one value.

Specified by:

keySet in interface Multimap<K,V>

Returns:

the collection of distinct keys

keys

public Multiset<K> keys()

Specified by:

keys in interface Multimap<K,V>

Returns:

a multiset with keys corresponding to the distinct keys of the multimap and frequencies corresponding to the number of values that each key maps to

hashCode

public int hashCode()

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
