AbstractMap

abstract class AbstractMap<K : Any!, V : Any!> : MutableMap<K, V>
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.util.AbstractMap

This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Map interface, to minimize the effort required to implement this interface.

To implement an unmodifiable map, the programmer needs only to extend this class and provide an implementation for the entrySet method, which returns a set-view of the map's mappings. Typically, the returned set will, in turn, be implemented atop AbstractSet. This set should not support the add or remove methods, and its iterator should not support the remove method.

To implement a modifiable map, the programmer must additionally override this class's put method (which otherwise throws an UnsupportedOperationException), and the iterator returned by entrySet().iterator() must additionally implement its remove method.

The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and map constructor, as per the recommendation in the Map interface specification.

The documentation for each non-abstract method in this class describes its implementation in detail. Each of these methods may be overridden if the map being implemented admits a more efficient implementation.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Protected constructors

AbstractMap

Added in API level 1
protected AbstractMap()

Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)

Public methods

clear

Added in API level 1
open fun clear(): Unit

Removes all of the mappings from this map (optional operation). The map will be empty after this call returns.

Exceptions
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the clear operation is not supported by this map

containsKey

Added in API level 1
open fun containsKey(key: K?): Boolean

Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key. More formally, returns true if and only if this map contains a mapping for a key k such that Objects.equals(key, k). (There can be at most one such mapping.)

Parameters
key K?: key whose presence in this map is to be tested
Return
Boolean true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key
Exceptions
java.lang.ClassCastException if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (java.util.Collection#)
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys (java.util.Collection#)

containsValue

Added in API level 1
open fun containsValue(value: V?): Boolean

Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. More formally, returns true if and only if this map contains at least one mapping to a value v such that Objects.equals(value, v). This operation will probably require time linear in the map size for most implementations of the Map interface.

Parameters
value V?: value whose presence in this map is to be tested
Return
Boolean true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value
Exceptions
java.lang.ClassCastException if the value is of an inappropriate type for this map (java.util.Collection#)
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified value is null and this map does not permit null values (java.util.Collection#)

equals

Added in API level 1
open fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Compares the specified object with this map for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a map and the two maps represent the same mappings. More formally, two maps m1 and m2 represent the same mappings if m1.entrySet().equals(m2.entrySet()). This ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the Map interface.

Parameters
obj the reference object with which to compare.
o object to be compared for equality with this map
Return
Boolean true if the specified object is equal to this map

get

Added in API level 1
open fun get(key: K?): V?

Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key.

More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key k to a value v such that Objects.equals(key, k), then this method returns v; otherwise it returns null. (There can be at most one such mapping.)

If this map permits null values, then a return value of null does not necessarily indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map explicitly maps the key to null. The containsKey operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.

Parameters
key K?: the key whose associated value is to be returned
Return
V? the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key
Exceptions
java.lang.ClassCastException if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (java.util.Collection#)
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys (java.util.Collection#)

hashCode

Added in API level 1
open fun hashCode(): Int

Returns the hash code value for this map. The hash code of a map is defined to be the sum of the hash codes of each entry in the map's entrySet() view. This ensures that m1.equals(m2) implies that m1.hashCode()==m2.hashCode() for any two maps m1 and m2, as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode.

Return
Int the hash code value for this map

isEmpty

Added in API level 1
open fun isEmpty(): Boolean

Returns true if this map contains no key-value mappings.

Return
Boolean true if this map contains no key-value mappings

put

Added in API level 1
open fun put(
    key: K,
    value: V
): V?

Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map (optional operation). If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced by the specified value. (A map m is said to contain a mapping for a key k if and only if m.containsKey(k) would return true.)

Parameters
key K: key with which the specified value is to be associated
value V: value to be associated with the specified key
Return
V? the previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with key, if the implementation supports null values.)
Exceptions
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the put operation is not supported by this map
java.lang.ClassCastException if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified key or value is null and this map does not permit null keys or values
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if some property of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map

putAll

Added in API level 1
open fun putAll(from: Map<out K, V>): Unit

Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to this map (optional operation). The effect of this call is equivalent to that of calling put(k, v) on this map once for each mapping from key k to value v in the specified map. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified map is modified while the operation is in progress. If the specified map has a defined encounter order, processing of its mappings generally occurs in that order.

Parameters
m mappings to be stored in this map
Exceptions
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the putAll operation is not supported by this map
java.lang.ClassCastException if the class of a key or value in the specified map prevents it from being stored in this map
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified map is null, or if this map does not permit null keys or values, and the specified map contains null keys or values
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if some property of a key or value in the specified map prevents it from being stored in this map

remove

Added in API level 1
open fun remove(key: K?): V?

Removes the mapping for a key from this map if it is present (optional operation). More formally, if this map contains a mapping from key k to value v such that Objects.equals(key, k), that mapping is removed. (The map can contain at most one such mapping.)

Returns the value to which this map previously associated the key, or null if the map contained no mapping for the key.

If this map permits null values, then a return value of null does not necessarily indicate that the map contained no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map explicitly mapped the key to null.

The map will not contain a mapping for the specified key once the call returns.

Parameters
key K?: key whose mapping is to be removed from the map
Return
V? the previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key.
Exceptions
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the remove operation is not supported by this map
java.lang.ClassCastException if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (java.util.Collection#)
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys (java.util.Collection#)

toString

Added in API level 1
open fun toString(): String

Returns a string representation of this map. The string representation consists of a list of key-value mappings in the order returned by the map's entrySet view's iterator, enclosed in braces ("{}"). Adjacent mappings are separated by the characters ", " (comma and space). Each key-value mapping is rendered as the key followed by an equals sign ("=") followed by the associated value. Keys and values are converted to strings as by String.valueOf(Object).

Return
String a string representation of this map

Protected methods

clone

Added in API level 1
protected open fun clone(): Any

Returns a shallow copy of this AbstractMap instance: the keys and values themselves are not cloned.

Return
Any a shallow copy of this map
Exceptions
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException if the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface. Subclasses that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned.

Properties

entries

Added in API level 1
abstract val entries: MutableSet<MutableEntry<K, V>>
Return
MutableSet<MutableEntry<K, V>> a set view of the mappings contained in this map

keys

Added in API level 1
open val keys: MutableSet<K>

Returns a Set view of the keys contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.

Return
MutableSet<K> a set view of the keys contained in this map

size

Added in API level 1
open val size: Int

Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map. If the map contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Return
Int the number of key-value mappings in this map

values

Added in API level 1
open val values: MutableCollection<V>

Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this map. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the collection is in progress (except through the iterator's own remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.

Return
MutableCollection<V> a collection view of the values contained in this map
