SparseLongArray

Kotlin |Java

public class SparseLongArray
extends Object implements Cloneable

java.lang.Object
↳	android.util.SparseLongArray

SparseLongArrays map integers to longs. Unlike a normal array of longs, there can be gaps in the indices. It is intended to be more memory efficient than using a HashMap to map Integers to Longs, both because it avoids auto-boxing keys and values and its data structure doesn't rely on an extra entry object for each mapping.

Note that this container keeps its mappings in an array data structure, using a binary search to find keys. The 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%.

It is possible to iterate over the items in this container using keyAt(int) and valueAt(int). Iterating over the keys using keyAt(int) with ascending values of the index will return the keys in ascending order, or the values corresponding to the keys in ascending order in the case of valueAt(int).

Public constructors

SparseLongArray

Added in API level 18

public SparseLongArray ()

Creates a new SparseLongArray containing no mappings.

SparseLongArray

Added in API level 18

public SparseLongArray (int initialCapacity)

Creates a new SparseLongArray containing no mappings that will not require any additional memory allocation to store the specified number of mappings. If you supply an initial capacity of 0, the sparse array will be initialized with a light-weight representation not requiring any additional array allocations.

Parameters
`initialCapacity`	`int`

Public methods

append

Added in API level 18

public void append (int key, 
                long value)

Puts a key/value pair into the array, optimizing for the case where the key is greater than all existing keys in the array.

Parameters
`key`	`int`
`value`	`long`

clear

Added in API level 18

public void clear ()

Removes all key-value mappings from this SparseLongArray.

clone

Added in API level 18

public SparseLongArray clone ()

Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object x, the expression:

 x.clone() != x

will be true, and that the expression:

 x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()

will be true, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that:

 x.clone().equals(x)

will be true, this is not an absolute requirement.

By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling super.clone. If a class and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().

By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by super.clone before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by super.clone need to be modified.

Returns
`SparseLongArray`	a clone of this instance.

delete

Added in API level 18

public void delete (int key)

Removes the mapping from the specified key, if there was any.

Parameters
`key`	`int`

get

Added in API level 18

public long get (int key)

Gets the long mapped from the specified key, or 0 if no such mapping has been made.

Parameters
`key`	`int`

Returns
`long`

get

Added in API level 18

public long get (int key, 
                long valueIfKeyNotFound)

Gets the long mapped from the specified key, or the specified value if no such mapping has been made.

Parameters
`key`	`int`
`valueIfKeyNotFound`	`long`

Returns
`long`

indexOfKey

Added in API level 18

public int indexOfKey (int key)

Returns the index for which keyAt(int) would return the specified key, or a negative number if the specified key is not mapped.

Parameters
`key`	`int`

Returns
`int`

indexOfValue

Added in API level 18

public int indexOfValue (long value)

Returns an index for which valueAt(int) would return the specified key, or a negative number if no keys map to the specified value. Beware that this is a linear search, unlike lookups by key, and that multiple keys can map to the same value and this will find only one of them.

Parameters
`value`	`long`

Returns
`int`

keyAt

Added in API level 18

public int keyAt (int index)

Given an index in the range 0...size()-1, returns the key from the indexth key-value mapping that this SparseLongArray stores.

The keys corresponding to indices in ascending order are guaranteed to be in ascending order, e.g., keyAt(0) will return the smallest key and keyAt(size()-1) will return the largest key.

For indices outside of the range 0...size()-1, the behavior is undefined for apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.P and earlier, and an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown for apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.Q and later.

Parameters
`index`	`int`

Returns
`int`

put

Added in API level 18

public void put (int key, 
                long value)

Adds a mapping from the specified key to the specified value, replacing the previous mapping from the specified key if there was one.

Parameters
`key`	`int`
`value`	`long`

removeAt

Added in API level 18

public void removeAt (int index)

Removes the mapping at the given index.

Parameters
`index`	`int`

size

Added in API level 18

public int size ()

Returns the number of key-value mappings that this SparseLongArray currently stores.

Returns
`int`

toString

Added in API level 18

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

This implementation composes a string by iterating over its mappings.

Returns
`String`	a string representation of the object.

valueAt

Added in API level 18

public long valueAt (int index)

Given an index in the range 0...size()-1, returns the value from the indexth key-value mapping that this SparseLongArray stores.

The values corresponding to indices in ascending order are guaranteed to be associated with keys in ascending order, e.g., valueAt(0) will return the value associated with the smallest key and valueAt(size()-1) will return the value associated with the largest key.

Parameters
`index`	`int`

Returns
`long`
