All Implemented Interfaces:

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

@GwtCompatible
public abstract class ForwardingSortedSetMultimap<K,V>
extends ForwardingSetMultimap<K,V>
implements SortedSetMultimap<K,V>

A sorted set multimap which forwards all its method calls to another sorted 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 SortedSetMultimap<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 ForwardingSetMultimap<K,V>

get

public SortedSet<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>

Specified by:

get in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>

Overrides:

get in class ForwardingSetMultimap<K,V>

removeAll

public SortedSet<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>

Specified by:

removeAll in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>

Overrides:

removeAll in class ForwardingSetMultimap<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 SortedSet<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>

Specified by:

replaceValues in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>

Overrides:

replaceValues in class ForwardingSetMultimap<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.

valueComparator

public Comparator<? super V> valueComparator()

Description copied from interface: SortedSetMultimap

Returns the comparator that orders the multimap values, with null indicating that natural ordering is used.

Specified by:

valueComparator in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>
