Method Detail

asMap
public java.util.Map<K,java.util.Collection<V>> asMap()
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns a map view that associates each key with the corresponding values in the multimap. Changes to the returned map, such as element removal, will update the underlying multimap. The map does not supportsetValue()on its entries,put, orputAll.When passed a key that is present in the map,
asMap().get(Object)has the same behavior asMultimap.get(K), returning a live collection. When passed a key that is not present, however,asMap().get(Object)returnsnullinstead of an empty collection. 
- 
clear
public void clear()
Description copied from interface:MultimapRemoves all key-value pairs from the multimap. 
- 
containsEntry
public boolean containsEntry(@Nullable java.lang.Object key, @Nullable java.lang.Object value)Description copied from interface:MultimapReturnstrueif the multimap contains the specified key-value pair.- Specified by:
 containsEntryin interfaceMultimap<K,V>- Parameters:
 key- key to search for in multimapvalue- value to search for in multimap
 
- 
containsKey
public boolean containsKey(@Nullable java.lang.Object key)Description copied from interface:MultimapReturnstrueif the multimap contains any values for the specified key.- Specified by:
 containsKeyin interfaceMultimap<K,V>- Parameters:
 key- key to search for in multimap
 
- 
containsValue
public boolean containsValue(@Nullable java.lang.Object value)Description copied from interface:MultimapReturnstrueif the multimap contains the specified value for any key.- Specified by:
 containsValuein interfaceMultimap<K,V>- Parameters:
 value- value to search for in multimap
 
- 
entries
public java.util.Collection<java.util.Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns a collection of all key-value pairs. Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. The entries collection does not support theaddoraddAlloperations. 
- 
get
public java.util.Collection<V> get(@Nullable K key)
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns a collection view containing the values associated withkeyin this multimap, if any. Note that even when (containsKey(key)is false,get(key)still returns an empty collection, notnull.Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.
 
- 
isEmpty
public boolean isEmpty()
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturnstrueif the multimap contains no key-value pairs. 
- 
keys
public Multiset<K> keys()
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns a collection, which may contain duplicates, of all keys. The number of times of key appears in the returned multiset equals the number of mappings the key has in the multimap. Changes to the returned multiset will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. 
- 
keySet
public java.util.Set<K> keySet()
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns the set of all keys, each appearing once in the returned set. Changes to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.Note that the key set contains a key if and only if this multimap maps that key to at least one value.
 
- 
put
public boolean put(K key, V value)
Description copied from interface:MultimapStores a key-value pair in the multimap.Some multimap implementations allow duplicate key-value pairs, in which case
putalways adds a new key-value pair and increases the multimap size by 1. Other implementations prohibit duplicates, and storing a key-value pair that's already in the multimap has no effect. 
- 
putAll
public boolean putAll(K key, java.lang.Iterable<? extends V> values)
Description copied from interface:MultimapStores key-value pairs in this multimap with one key and multiple values.This is equivalent to
for (V value : values) { put(key, value); }In particular, this is a no-op if
valuesis empty. 
- 
putAll
public boolean putAll(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
Description copied from interface:MultimapCopies all of another multimap's key-value pairs into this multimap. The order in which the mappings are added is determined bymultimap.entries(). 
- 
remove
public boolean remove(@Nullable java.lang.Object key, @Nullable java.lang.Object value)Description copied from interface:MultimapRemoves a single key-value pair from the multimap. 
- 
removeAll
public java.util.Collection<V> removeAll(@Nullable java.lang.Object key)
Description copied from interface:MultimapRemoves all values associated with a given key.Once this method returns,
keywill not be mapped to any values, so it will not appear inMultimap.keySet(),Multimap.asMap(), or any other views.- Specified by:
 removeAllin interfaceMultimap<K,V>- Parameters:
 key- key of entries to remove from the multimap- Returns:
 - the collection of removed values, or an empty collection if no values were associated with the provided key. The collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.
 
 
- 
replaceValues
public java.util.Collection<V> replaceValues(K key, java.lang.Iterable<? extends V> values)
Description copied from interface:MultimapStores a collection of values with the same key, replacing any existing values for that key.If
valuesis empty, this is equivalent toremoveAll(key).- Specified by:
 replaceValuesin interfaceMultimap<K,V>- Parameters:
 key- key to store in the multimapvalues- values to store in the multimap- 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.
 
 
- 
size
public int size()
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns the number of key-value pairs in the multimap. 
- 
values
public java.util.Collection<V> values()
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns a collection of all values in the multimap. Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. 
- 
equals
public boolean equals(@Nullable java.lang.Object object)Description copied from interface:MultimapCompares the specified object with this multimap for equality. Two multimaps are equal when their map views, as returned byMultimap.asMap(), are also equal.In general, two multimaps with identical key-value mappings may or may not be equal, depending on the implementation. For example, two
SetMultimapinstances with the same key-value mappings are equal, but equality of twoListMultimapinstances depends on the ordering of the values for each key.A non-empty
SetMultimapcannot be equal to a non-emptyListMultimap, since theirMultimap.asMap()views contain unequal collections as values. However, any two empty multimaps are equal, because they both have emptyMultimap.asMap()views. 
- 
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns the hash code for this multimap.The hash code of a multimap is defined as the hash code of the map view, as returned by
Multimap.asMap().
