toStringprotected ForwardingMultimap()
protected abstract Multimap<K,V> delegate()
ForwardingObjectForwardingSet.delegate(). Concrete subclasses override this method to supply
 the instance being decorated.delegate in class ForwardingObjectpublic Map<K,Collection<V>> asMap()
MultimapMap from each distinct key
 to the nonempty collection of that key's associated values. Note that
 this.asMap().get(k) is equivalent to this.get(k) only when
 k is a key contained in the multimap; otherwise it returns null as opposed to an empty collection.
 Changes to the returned map or the collections that serve as its values
 will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. The map does not
 support put or putAll, nor do its entries support setValue.
public void clear()
Multimappublic boolean containsEntry(@Nullable Object key, @Nullable Object value)
Multimaptrue if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair
 with the key key and the value value.containsEntry in interface Multimap<K,V>public boolean containsKey(@Nullable Object key)
Multimaptrue if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair
 with the key key.containsKey in interface Multimap<K,V>public boolean containsValue(@Nullable Object value)
Multimaptrue if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair
 with the value value.containsValue in interface Multimap<K,V>public Collection<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()
MultimapMap.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.
public Collection<V> get(@Nullable K key)
Multimapkey 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.
public boolean isEmpty()
Multimaptrue if this multimap contains no key-value pairs.
 Equivalent to size() == 0, but can in some cases be more efficient.public Multiset<K> keys()
Multimapkeys().count(k) ==
 get(k).size() for all k.
 Changes to the returned multiset will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
public Set<K> keySet()
MultimapChanges to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned set is not possible.
public boolean put(K key, V value)
MultimapSome multimap implementations allow duplicate key-value pairs, in which
 case put always 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.
public boolean putAll(K key, Iterable<? extends V> values)
Multimapvalues, all
 using the same key, key. Equivalent to (but expected to be more
 efficient than):    for (V value : values) {
     put(key, value);
   }
 In particular, this is a no-op if values is empty.
public boolean putAll(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
Multimapmultimap in this multimap, in the
 order returned by multimap.entries().public boolean remove(@Nullable Object key, @Nullable Object value)
Multimapkey and the value
 value from this multimap, if such exists. If multiple key-value
 pairs in the multimap fit this description, which one is removed is
 unspecified.public Collection<V> removeAll(@Nullable Object key)
Multimapkey.
 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.
public Collection<V> replaceValues(K key, Iterable<? extends V> values)
MultimapIf values is empty, this is equivalent to
 removeAll(key).
replaceValues in interface Multimap<K,V>public int size()
MultimapNote: this method does not return the number of distinct
 keys in the multimap, which is given by keySet().size() or
 asMap().size(). See the opening section of the Multimap
 class documentation for clarification.
public Collection<V> values()
Multimapvalues().size() == size()).
 Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
public boolean equals(@Nullable Object object)
MultimapMultimap.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
 SetMultimap instances with the same key-value mappings are equal,
 but equality of two ListMultimap instances depends on the ordering
 of the values for each key.
 
A non-empty SetMultimap cannot be equal to a non-empty
 ListMultimap, since their Multimap.asMap() views contain unequal
 collections as values. However, any two empty multimaps are equal, because
 they both have empty Multimap.asMap() views.
public int hashCode()
MultimapThe hash code of a multimap is defined as the hash code of the map view,
 as returned by Multimap.asMap().
 
In general, two multimaps with identical key-value mappings may or may
 not have the same hash codes, depending on the implementation. For
 example, two SetMultimap instances with the same key-value
 mappings will have the same hashCode, but the hashCode
 of ListMultimap instances depends on the ordering of the values
 for each key.
