com.google.common.collect.ForwardingMultimap<K,V>

com.google.common.collect.ForwardingSetMultimap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Multimap<K,V>, SetMultimap<K,V>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ForwardingSortedSetMultimap

@GwtCompatible
public abstract class ForwardingSetMultimap<K,V>
extends ForwardingMultimap<K,V>
implements SetMultimap<K,V>

A set multimap which forwards all its method calls to another set multimap. Subclasses should override one or more methods to modify the behavior of the backing multimap as desired per the decorator pattern.

3.0

Method Detail

delegate

protected abstract SetMultimap<K,V> delegate()

Description copied from class: ForwardingObject

Returns the backing delegate instance that methods are forwarded to. Abstract subclasses generally override this method with an abstract method that has a more specific return type, such as ForwardingSet.delegate(). Concrete subclasses override this method to supply the instance being decorated.

Specified by:

delegate in class ForwardingMultimap<K,V>

entries

public Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()

Description copied from interface: Multimap

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.

Specified by:

entries in interface Multimap<K,V>

Specified by:

entries in interface SetMultimap<K,V>

Overrides:

entries in class ForwardingMultimap<K,V>

get

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

Description copied from interface: Multimap

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.

Specified by:

get in interface Multimap<K,V>

Specified by:

get in interface SetMultimap<K,V>

Overrides:

get in class ForwardingMultimap<K,V>

removeAll

public Set<V> removeAll(@Nullable
               Object key)

Description copied from interface: Multimap

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.

Specified by:

removeAll in interface Multimap<K,V>

Specified by:

removeAll in interface SetMultimap<K,V>

Overrides:

removeAll in class ForwardingMultimap<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 Set<V> replaceValues(K key,
                   Iterable<? extends V> values)

Description copied from interface: Multimap

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).

Specified by:

replaceValues in interface Multimap<K,V>

Specified by:

replaceValues in interface SetMultimap<K,V>

Overrides:

replaceValues in class ForwardingMultimap<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.
