Class ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ImmutableBiMap.Builder, ImmutableSortedMap.Builder

Enclosing class:

ImmutableMap<K,V>

public static class ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V>
extends Object

A builder for creating immutable map instances, especially public static final maps ("constant maps"). Example:

   static final ImmutableMap<String, Integer> WORD_TO_INT =
       new ImmutableMap.Builder<String, Integer>()
           .put("one", 1)
           .put("two", 2)
           .put("three", 3)
           .build();

For small immutable maps, the ImmutableMap.of() methods are even more convenient.

Builder instances can be reused - it is safe to call build() multiple times to build multiple maps in series. Each map is a superset of the maps created before it.

Constructor Summary

ImmutableMap.Builder()
Creates a new builder.

Method Summary

ImmutableMap<K,V>	build() Returns a newly-created immutable map.
ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V>	put(K key, V value) Associates key with value in the built map.
ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V>	put(Map.Entry<? extends K,? extends V> entry) Adds the given entry to the map, making it immutable if necessary.
ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V>	putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> map) Associates all of the given map's keys and values in the built map.

Constructor Detail

ImmutableMap.Builder

public ImmutableMap.Builder()

Creates a new builder. The returned builder is equivalent to the builder generated by ImmutableMap.builder().

Method Detail

put

public ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V> put(K key,
                                     V value)

Associates key with value in the built map. Duplicate keys are not allowed, and will cause build() to fail.

put

public ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V> put(Map.Entry<? extends K,? extends V> entry)

Adds the given entry to the map, making it immutable if necessary. Duplicate keys are not allowed, and will cause build() to fail.

Since:

11.0

putAll

public ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V> putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> map)

Associates all of the given map's keys and values in the built map. Duplicate keys are not allowed, and will cause build() to fail.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any key or value in map is null

build

public ImmutableMap<K,V> build()

Returns a newly-created immutable map.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if duplicate keys were added
