ArrayMap
public class ArrayMap<K, V> extends SimpleArrayMap implements Map
ArrayMap is a generic key->value mapping data structure that is designed to be more memory efficient than a traditional java.util.HashMap, this implementation is a version of the platform's android.util.ArrayMap that can be used on older versions of the platform. It keeps its mappings in an array data structure -- an integer array of hash codes for each item, and an Object array of the key/value pairs. This allows it to avoid having to create an extra object for every entry put in to the map, and it also tries to control the growth of the size of these arrays more aggressively (since growing them only requires copying the entries in the array, not rebuilding a hash map).
If you don't need the standard Java container APIs provided here (iterators etc), consider using SimpleArrayMap instead.
Note that this implementation is not intended to be appropriate for data structures that may contain large numbers of items. It is generally slower than a traditional HashMap, since lookups require a binary search and adds and removes require inserting and deleting entries in the array. For containers holding up to hundreds of items, the performance difference is not significant, less than 50%.
Because this container is intended to better balance memory use, unlike most other standard Java containers it will shrink its array as items are removed from it. Currently you have no control over this shrinking -- if you set a capacity and then remove an item, it may reduce the capacity to better match the current size. In the future an explicit call to set the capacity should turn off this aggressive shrinking behavior.
NOTE: Consider using MutableScatterMap instead of this class. MutableScatterMap also avoids creating an extra object per entry but offers overall better performance characteristics. If a Map-like interface is required, please see asMap and asMutableMap.

Public constructors
ArrayMap
public ArrayMap(int capacity)
Create a new ArrayMap with a given initial capacity.
ArrayMap
public ArrayMap(@Nullable SimpleArrayMap map)
Create a new ArrayMap with the mappings from the given ArrayMap.
Public methods
containsAll
public boolean containsAll(@NonNull Collection<Object> collection)
Determine if the array map contains all of the keys in the given collection.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
@NonNull Collection<Object> collection |
The collection whose contents are to be checked against. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
Returns true if this array map contains a key for every entry in collection, else returns false. |
containsKey
public boolean containsKey(@Nullable Object key)
Check whether a key exists in the array.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
Returns |
containsValue
public boolean containsValue(@Nullable Object value)
Check whether a value exists in the array. This requires a linear search through the entire array.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
Returns |
entrySet
public @NonNull Set<Map.Entry<K, V>> entrySet()
Return a java.util.Set for iterating over and interacting with all mappings in the array map.
Note: this is a very inefficient way to access the array contents, it requires generating a number of temporary objects.
Note:
the semantics of this Set are subtly different than that of ajava.util.HashMap: most important, the Map.Entry object returned by its iterator is a single object that exists for the entire iterator, so you can not hold on to it after calling Iterator.next.get
public V get(@Nullable Object key)
Retrieve a value from the array.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
@Nullable Object key |
The key of the value to retrieve. ** This must be the same type as K ** |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
V |
Returns the value associated with the given key, or |
keySet
public @NonNull Set<K> keySet()
Return a java.util.Set for iterating over and interacting with all keys in the array map.
Note: this is a fairly inefficient way to access the array contents, it requires generating a number of temporary objects.
putAll
public void putAll(@NonNull Map<K, V> map)
Perform a put of all key/value pairs in map
remove
public V remove(@Nullable Object key)
Remove an existing key from the array map.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
@Nullable Object key |
The key of the mapping to remove. ** This must be the same type as V ** |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
V |
Returns the value that was stored under the key, or |
removeAll
public boolean removeAll(@NonNull Collection<Object> collection)
Remove all keys in the array map that exist in the given collection.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
@NonNull Collection<Object> collection |
The collection whose contents are to be used to remove keys. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
Returns true if any keys were removed from the array map, else false. |
retainAll
public boolean retainAll(@NonNull Collection<Object> collection)
Remove all keys in the array map that do not exist in the given collection.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
@NonNull Collection<Object> collection |
The collection whose contents are to be used to determine which keys to keep. |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
Returns true if any keys were removed from the array map, else false. |
values
public @NonNull Collection<V> values()
Return a java.util.Collection for iterating over and interacting with all values in the array map.
Note: this is a fairly inefficient way to access the array contents, it requires generating a number of temporary objects.
