    • 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)

        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:

      • trimToSize

        public void trimToSize()
        Reduces the memory used by this ArrayListMultimap, if feasible.
      • get

        public List<V> get(K key)
        Returns a view collection of the values associated with key in this multimap, if any. Note that when containsKey(key) is false, this 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.

      • removeAll

        public List<V> removeAll(Object key)
        Removes all values associated with the key 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>
        Returns:
        the values that were removed (possibly empty). The returned collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.
      • replaceValues

        public List<V> replaceValues(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>
        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(K key,
                           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 view of this multimap as a Map from each distinct key to the nonempty collection of that key's associated values. Note that this.asMap().get(k) is equivalent to this.get(k) only when k is a key contained in the multimap; otherwise it returns null as opposed to an empty collection.

        Changes to the returned map or the collections that serve as its values will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. The map does not support put or putAll, nor do its entries support setValue.

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

      • equals

        public boolean equals(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.

      • size

        public int size()
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Returns the number of key-value pairs in this multimap.

        Note: this method does not return the number of distinct keys in the multimap, which is given by keySet().size() or asMap().size(). See the opening section of the Multimap class documentation for clarification.

      • containsKey

        public boolean containsKey(Object key)
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the key key.
      • clear

        public void clear()
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Removes all key-value pairs from the multimap, leaving it empty.
      • values

        public Collection<V> values()
        Returns a view collection containing the value from each key-value pair contained in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates (so values().size() == size()).

        Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.

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

      • entries

        public Collection<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()
        Returns a view collection of all key-value pairs contained in this multimap, as Map.Entry instances.

        Changes to the returned collection or the entries it contains will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.

        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.

      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty()
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Returns true if this multimap contains no key-value pairs. Equivalent to size() == 0, but can in some cases be more efficient.
      • containsValue

        public boolean containsValue(Object value)
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the value value.
      • containsEntry

        public boolean containsEntry(Object key,
                                     Object value)
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the key key and the value value.
      • remove

        public boolean remove(Object key,
                              Object value)
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Removes a single key-value pair with the key key and the value value from this multimap, if such exists. If multiple key-value pairs in the multimap fit this description, which one is removed is unspecified.
        Specified by:
        remove in interface  Multimap<K,V>
        Returns:
        true if the multimap changed
      • putAll

        public boolean putAll(K key,
                              Iterable<? extends V> values)
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Stores a key-value pair in this multimap for each of values, all using the same key, key. Equivalent to (but expected to be more efficient than):
            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>
        Returns:
        true if the multimap changed
      • putAll

        public boolean putAll(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Stores all key-value pairs of multimap in this multimap, in the order returned by multimap.entries().
        Specified by:
        putAll in interface  Multimap<K,V>
        Returns:
        true if the multimap changed
      • keySet

        public Set<K> keySet()
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Returns a view collection of all distinct keys contained in this multimap. Note that the key set contains a key if and only if this multimap maps that key to at least one value.

        Changes to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned set is not possible.

      • keys

        public Multiset<K> keys()
        Description copied from interface: Multimap
        Returns a view collection containing the key from each key-value pair in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates. This collection has the same size as this multimap, and keys().count(k) == get(k).size() for all k.

        Changes to the returned multiset will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.

      • toString

        public String toString()
        Returns a string representation of the multimap, generated by calling toString on the map returned by Multimap.asMap().
        Overrides:
        toString in class  Object
        Returns:
        a string representation of the multimap
