ArrayListMultimap (Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java 22.0-android API)

java.lang.Object
- com.google.common.collect.ArrayListMultimap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ListMultimap<K,V>, Multimap<K,V>, Serializable
```
@GwtCompatible(serializable=true,
               emulated=true)
public final class ArrayListMultimap<K,V>
extends Object
```
Implementation of Multimap that uses an ArrayList to store the values for a given key. A HashMap associates each key with an ArrayList of values.
When iterating through the collections supplied by this class, the ordering of values for a given key agrees with the order in which the values were added.
This multimap allows duplicate key-value pairs. After adding a new key-value pair equal to an existing key-value pair, the ArrayListMultimap will contain entries for both the new value and the old value.
Keys and values may be null. All optional multimap methods are supported, and all returned views are modifiable.
The lists returned by get(K), removeAll(java.lang.Object), and replaceValues(K, java.lang.Iterable<? extends V>) all implement RandomAccess.
This class is not threadsafe when any concurrent operations update the multimap. Concurrent read operations will work correctly. To allow concurrent update operations, wrap your multimap with a call to Multimaps.synchronizedListMultimap(com.google.common.collect.ListMultimap<K, V>).
See the Guava User Guide article on Multimap.

- Method Detail
  - create
```
public static <K,V> ArrayListMultimap<K,V> create()
```
    Creates a new, empty ArrayListMultimap with the default initial capacities.
    This method will soon be deprecated in favor of MultimapBuilder.hashKeys().arrayListValues().build().
  - create
```
public static <K,V> ArrayListMultimap<K,V> create(int expectedKeys,
                                                  int expectedValuesPerKey)
```
    Constructs an empty ArrayListMultimap with enough capacity to hold the specified numbers of keys and values without resizing.
    This method will soon be deprecated in favor of MultimapBuilder.hashKeys(expectedKeys).arrayListValues(expectedValuesPerKey).build().
    
    Parameters:
    
    expectedKeys - the expected number of distinct keys
    
    expectedValuesPerKey - the expected average number of values per key
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if expectedKeys or expectedValuesPerKey is negative
  - create
```
public static <K,V> ArrayListMultimap<K,V> create(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
```
    Constructs an ArrayListMultimap with the same mappings as the specified multimap.
    This method will soon be deprecated in favor of MultimapBuilder.hashKeys().arrayListValues().build(multimap).
    
    Parameters:
    
    multimap - the multimap whose contents are copied to this multimap
  - trimToSize
```
@Deprecated
public void trimToSize()
```
    Deprecated. For a ListMultimap that automatically trims to size, use ImmutableListMultimap. If you need a mutable collection, remove the trimToSize call, or switch to a HashMap<K, ArrayList<V>>. This method is scheduled for removal in April 2019.
    
    Reduces the memory used by this ArrayListMultimap, if feasible.
  - get
```
public List<V> get(@Nullable
                   K key)
```
    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.
    The returned collection is not serializable.
    Because the values for a given key may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface ListMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - removeAll
```
public List<V> removeAll(@Nullable
                         Object key)
```
    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.
    The returned collection is immutable.
    Because the values for a given key may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeAll in interface ListMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeAll in interface Multimap<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 List<V> replaceValues(@Nullable
                             K key,
                             Iterable<? extends V> values)
```
    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).
    The returned collection is immutable.
    Because the values for a given key may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.
    
    Specified by:
    
    replaceValues in interface ListMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    replaceValues in interface Multimap<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.
  - put
```
public boolean put(@Nullable
                   K key,
                   @Nullable
                   V value)
```
    Stores a key-value pair in the multimap.
    
    Specified by:
    
    put in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key to store in the multimap
    
    value - value to store in the multimap
    
    Returns:
    
    true always
  - asMap
```
public Map<K,Collection<V>> asMap()
```
    Returns a view of this multimap as a Map 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.
    Though the method signature doesn't say so explicitly, the returned map has List values.
    
    Specified by:
    
    asMap in interface ListMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    asMap in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(@Nullable
                      Object object)
```
    Compares the specified object to this multimap for equality.
    Two ListMultimap instances are equal if, for each key, they contain the same values in the same order. If the value orderings disagree, the multimaps will not be considered equal.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface ListMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns the number of key-value pairs in this multimap.
    Note: 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.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - containsKey
```
public boolean containsKey(@Nullable
                           Object key)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the key key.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsKey in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Removes all key-value pairs from the multimap, leaving it empty.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clear in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - values
```
public Collection<V> values()
```
    Returns a view collection containing the value from each key-value pair contained in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates (so values().size() == size()).
    Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
    The iterator generated by the returned collection traverses the values for one key, followed by the values of a second key, and so on.
    
    Specified by:
    
    values in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - entries
```
public Collection<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()
```
    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.
    The iterator generated by the returned collection traverses the values for one key, followed by the values of a second key, and so on.
    Each entry is an immutable snapshot of a key-value mapping in the multimap, taken at the time the entry is returned by a method call to the collection or its iterator.
    
    Specified by:
    
    entries in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains no key-value pairs. Equivalent to size() == 0, but can in some cases be more efficient.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isEmpty in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - containsValue
```
public boolean containsValue(@Nullable
                             Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the value value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsValue in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - containsEntry
```
public boolean containsEntry(@Nullable
                             Object key,
                             @Nullable
                             Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the key key and the value value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsEntry in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - remove
```
public boolean remove(@Nullable
                      Object key,
                      @Nullable
                      Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Removes a single key-value pair with the key key 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.
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the multimap changed
  - putAll
```
public boolean putAll(@Nullable
                      K key,
                      Iterable<? extends V> values)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    Stores a key-value pair in this multimap for each of values, 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.
    Specified by:
    
    putAll in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the multimap changed
  - putAll
```
public boolean putAll(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Stores all key-value pairs of multimap in this multimap, in the order returned by multimap.entries().
    
    Specified by:
    
    putAll in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the multimap changed
  - keySet
```
public Set<K> keySet()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns a view collection of all distinct keys contained in this multimap. Note that the key set contains a key if and only if this multimap maps that key to at least one value.
    Changes to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned set is not possible.
    
    Specified by:
    
    keySet in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - keys
```
public Multiset<K> keys()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns a view collection containing the key from each key-value pair in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates. This collection has the same size as this multimap, and keys().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.
    
    Specified by:
    
    keys in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code for this multimap.
    The hash code of a multimap is defined as the hash code of the map view, as returned by Multimap.asMap().
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object

    Map.hashCode()
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of the multimap, generated by calling toString on the map returned by Multimap.asMap().
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of the multimap
