Class ArrayMap<K,V> (1.45.1) 

public class ArrayMap<K,V> extends AbstractMap<K,V> implements Cloneable

Memory-efficient map of keys to values with list-style random-access semantics.

Supports null keys and values. Conceptually, the keys and values are stored in a simpler array in order to minimize memory use and provide for fast access to a key/value at a certain index (for example #getKey(int)). However, traditional mapping operations like #get(Object) and #put(Object, Object) are slower because they need to look up all key/value pairs in the worst case.

Implementation is not thread-safe. For a thread-safe choice instead use an implementation of ConcurrentMap.

Static Methods

<K,V>create()

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

Returns a new instance of an array map with initial capacity of zero. Equivalent to calling the default constructor, except without the need to specify the type parameters. For example: ArrayMap<String, String> map = ArrayMap.create();.

Returns
Type Description
ArrayMap<K,V>

<K,V>create(int initialCapacity)

public static ArrayMap<K,V> <K,V>create(int initialCapacity)

Returns a new instance of an array map of the given initial capacity. For example: ArrayMap<String, String> map = ArrayMap.create(8);.

Parameter
Name Description
initialCapacity int
Returns
Type Description
ArrayMap<K,V>

<K,V>of(Object[] keyValuePairs)

public static ArrayMap<K,V> <K,V>of(Object[] keyValuePairs)

Returns a new instance of an array map of the given key value pairs in alternating order. For example: ArrayMap<String, String> map = ArrayMap.of("key1", "value1", "key2", "value2", ...);.

WARNING: there is no compile-time checking of the keyValuePairs parameter to ensure that the keys or values have the correct type, so if the wrong type is passed in, any problems will occur at runtime. Also, there is no checking that the keys are unique, which the caller must ensure is true.

Parameter
Name Description
keyValuePairs Object[]
Returns
Type Description
ArrayMap<K,V>

Methods

add(K key, V value)

public final void add(K key, V value)

Adds the key/value mapping at the end of the list. Behaves identically to set(size(), key, value).

Parameters
Name Description
key K
value V

clear()

public void clear()
Overrides

clone()

public ArrayMap<K,V> clone()
Returns
Type Description
ArrayMap<K,V>
Overrides

containsKey(Object key)

public final boolean containsKey(Object key)

Returns whether there is a mapping for the given key.

Parameter
Name Description
key Object
Returns
Type Description
boolean
Overrides

containsValue(Object value)

public final boolean containsValue(Object value)
Parameter
Name Description
value Object
Returns
Type Description
boolean
Overrides

ensureCapacity(int minCapacity)

public final void ensureCapacity(int minCapacity)

Ensures that the capacity of the internal arrays is at least a given capacity.

Parameter
Name Description
minCapacity int

entrySet()

public final Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entrySet()
Returns
Type Description
Set<Entry<K,V>>
Overrides

get(Object key)

public final V get(Object key)

Returns the value set for the given key or null if there is no such mapping or if the mapping value is null.

Parameter
Name Description
key Object
Returns
Type Description
V
Overrides

getIndexOfKey(K key)

public final int getIndexOfKey(K key)

Returns the index of the given key or -1 if there is no such key.

Parameter
Name Description
key K
Returns
Type Description
int

getKey(int index)

public final K getKey(int index)

Returns the key at the given index or null if out of bounds.

Parameter
Name Description
index int
Returns
Type Description
K

getValue(int index)

public final V getValue(int index)

Returns the value at the given index or null if out of bounds.

Parameter
Name Description
index int
Returns
Type Description
V

put(K key, V value)

public final V put(K key, V value)

Sets the value for the given key, overriding any existing value.

Parameters
Name Description
key K
value V
Returns
Type Description
V

previous value or null for none
Overrides

remove(int index)

public final V remove(int index)

Removes the key/value mapping at the given index, or ignored if the index is out of bounds.

Parameter
Name Description
index int
Returns
Type Description
V

previous value or null for none

remove(Object key)

public final V remove(Object key)

Removes the key-value pair of the given key, or ignore if the key cannot be found.

Parameter
Name Description
key Object
Returns
Type Description
V

previous value or null for none
Overrides

set(int index, K key, V value)

public final V set(int index, K key, V value)

Sets the key/value mapping at the given index, overriding any existing key/value mapping.

There is no checking done to ensure that the key does not already exist. Therefore, this method is dangerous to call unless the caller can be certain the key does not already exist in the map.

Parameters
Name Description
index int
key K
value V
Returns
Type Description
V

previous value or null for none

set(int index, V value)

public final V set(int index, V value)

Sets the value at the given index, overriding any existing value mapping.

Parameters
Name Description
index int
value V
Returns
Type Description
V

previous value or null for none

size()

public final int size()

Returns the number of key-value pairs set.

Returns
Type Description
int
Overrides

trim()

public final void trim()

Trims the internal array storage to minimize memory usage.
