Class ImmutableListMultimap<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMultimap<K,V>
      com.google.common.collect.ImmutableListMultimap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ListMultimap<K,V>, Multimap<K,V>, Serializable

@GwtCompatible(serializable=true,
               emulated=true)
public class ImmutableListMultimap<K,V>
extends ImmutableMultimap<K,V>
implements ListMultimap<K,V>

An immutable ListMultimap with reliable user-specified key and value iteration order. Does not permit null keys or values.

Unlike Multimaps.unmodifiableListMultimap(ListMultimap), which is a view of a separate multimap which can still change, an instance of ImmutableListMultimap contains its own data and will never change. ImmutableListMultimap is convenient for public static final multimaps ("constant multimaps") and also lets you easily make a "defensive copy" of a multimap provided to your class by a caller.

Note: Although this class is not final, it cannot be subclassed as it has no public or protected constructors. Thus, instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.

See the Guava User Guide article on immutable collections.

Returns an immutable multimap containing the given entries, in order.

builder

public static <K,V> ImmutableListMultimap.Builder<K,V> builder()

Returns a new builder. The generated builder is equivalent to the builder created by the ImmutableListMultimap.Builder constructor.

copyOf

public static <K,V> ImmutableListMultimap<K,V> copyOf(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)

Returns an immutable multimap containing the same mappings as multimap. The generated multimap's key and value orderings correspond to the iteration ordering of the multimap.asMap() view.

Despite the method name, this method attempts to avoid actually copying the data when it is safe to do so. The exact circumstances under which a copy will or will not be performed are undocumented and subject to change.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any key or value in multimap is null

get

public ImmutableList<V> get(@Nullable
                            K key)

Returns an immutable list of the values for the given key. If no mappings in the multimap have the provided key, an empty immutable list is returned. The values are in the same order as the parameters used to build this multimap.

Specified by:

get in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

Specified by:

get in interface Multimap<K,V>

Specified by:

get in class ImmutableMultimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to search for in multimap

Returns:

the collection of values that the key maps to

inverse

@Beta
public ImmutableListMultimap<V,K> inverse()

Returns an immutable multimap which is the inverse of this one. For every key-value mapping in the original, the result will have a mapping with key and value reversed.

Because an inverse of a list multimap can contain multiple pairs with the same key and value, this method returns an ImmutableListMultimap rather than the ImmutableMultimap specified in the ImmutableMultimap class.

Specified by:

inverse in class ImmutableMultimap<K,V>

removeAll

public ImmutableList<V> removeAll(Object key)

Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the multimap unmodified.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

Specified by:

removeAll in interface Multimap<K,V>

Overrides:

removeAll in class ImmutableMultimap<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.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - always

replaceValues

public ImmutableList<V> replaceValues(K key,
                                      Iterable<? extends V> values)

Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the multimap unmodified.

Specified by:

replaceValues in interface ListMultimap<K,V>

Specified by:

replaceValues in interface Multimap<K,V>

Overrides:

replaceValues in class ImmutableMultimap<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to store in the multimap

values - 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.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - always
