- All Implemented Interfaces:
- ListMultimap<K,,- V> - Multimap<K,,- V> - Serializable
ListMultimap that supports deterministic iteration order for both
 keys and values. The iteration order is preserved across non-distinct key values. For example,
 for the following multimap definition:
 
Multimap<K, V> multimap = LinkedListMultimap.create();
multimap.put(key1, foo);
multimap.put(key2, bar);
multimap.put(key1, baz);
Multimap.keys() is [key1, key2, key1], and similarly for
 entries(). Unlike LinkedHashMultimap, the iteration order is kept consistent
 between keys, entries and values. For example, calling:
 
multimap.remove(key1, foo);
changes the entries iteration order to [key2=bar, key1=baz] and the key iteration
 order to [key2, key1]. The entries() iterator returns mutable map entries, and
 replaceValues(K, java.lang.Iterable<? extends V>) attempts to preserve iteration order as much as possible.
 
The collections returned by Multimap.keySet() and Multimap.asMap() iterate through the keys in
 the order they were first added to the multimap. Similarly, get(K), removeAll(java.lang.Object), and
 replaceValues(K, java.lang.Iterable<? extends V>) return collections that iterate through the values in the order they were
 added. The collections generated by entries(), Multimap.keys(), and values()
 iterate across the key-value mappings in the order they were added to the multimap.
 
The values() and entries() methods both return a List, instead of
 the Collection specified by the ListMultimap interface.
 
The methods get(K), Multimap.keySet(), Multimap.keys(), values(), entries(), and Multimap.asMap() return collections that are views of the multimap. If the
 multimap is modified while an iteration over any of those collections is in progress, except
 through the iterator's methods, the results of the iteration are undefined.
 
Keys and values may be null. All optional multimap methods are supported, and all returned views are modifiable.
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>).

Method Details- 
createpublic static <K extends @Nullable Object, V extends @Nullable Object> LinkedListMultimap<K,V> create()Creates a new, emptyLinkedListMultimapwith the default initial capacity.
- 
createpublic static <K extends @Nullable Object, V extends @Nullable Object> LinkedListMultimap<K,V> create(int expectedKeys) Constructs an emptyLinkedListMultimapwith enough capacity to hold the specified number of keys without rehashing.- Parameters:
- expectedKeys- the expected number of distinct keys
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if- expectedKeysis negative
 
- 
createpublic static <K extends @Nullable Object, V extends @Nullable Object> LinkedListMultimap<K,V> create(Multimap<? extends K, ? extends V> multimap) Constructs aLinkedListMultimapwith the same mappings as the specifiedMultimap. The new multimap has the sameMultimap.entries()iteration order as the input multimap.- Parameters:
- multimap- the multimap whose contents are copied to this multimap
 
- 
sizepublic int size()Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns 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()orasMap().size(). See the opening section of theMultimapclass documentation for clarification.
- 
isEmpty
- 
containsKey
- 
containsValue
- 
putStores a key-value pair in the multimap.
- 
replaceValuesStores a collection of values with the same key, replacing any existing values for that key.If valuesis empty, this is equivalent toremoveAll(key).If any entries for the specified keyalready exist in the multimap, their values are changed in-place without affecting the iteration order.The returned list is immutable and implements RandomAccess.- Specified by:
- replaceValuesin interface- ListMultimap<K extends @Nullable Object, V extends @Nullable Object>
- Specified by:
- replaceValuesin interface- Multimap<K extends @Nullable Object, V extends @Nullable Object>
- 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.
 
- 
removeAllRemoves all values associated with the keykey.Once this method returns, keywill not be mapped to any values, so it will not appear inMultimap.keySet(),Multimap.asMap(), or any other views.The returned list is immutable and implements RandomAccess.- Specified by:
- removeAllin interface- ListMultimap<K extends @Nullable Object, V extends @Nullable Object>
- Specified by:
- removeAllin interface- Multimap<K extends @Nullable Object, V extends @Nullable Object>
- Returns:
- the values that were removed (possibly empty). The returned collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.
 
- 
clear
- 
getReturns a view collection of the values associated withkeyin this multimap, if any. Note that whencontainsKey(key)is false, this returns an empty collection, notnull.Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. If the multimap is modified while an iteration over the list is in progress (except through the iterator's own add,setorremoveoperations) the results of the iteration are undefined.The returned list is not serializable and does not have random access. 
- 
valuesReturns a view collection containing the value from each key-value pair contained in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates (sovalues().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 in the order they were added to the multimap. Because the values may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of theCollectionspecified in theListMultimapinterface.
- 
entriesReturns a view collection of all key-value pairs contained in this multimap, asMap.Entryinstances.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 entries in the order they were added to the multimap. Because the entries may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of theCollectionspecified in theListMultimapinterface.An entry's Map.Entry.getKey()method always returns the same key, regardless of what happens subsequently. As long as the corresponding key-value mapping is not removed from the multimap,Map.Entry.getValue()returns the value from the multimap, which may change over time, andMap.Entry.setValue(V)modifies that value. Removing the mapping from the multimap does not alter the value returned bygetValue(), though a subsequentsetValue()call won't update the multimap but will lead to a revised value being returned bygetValue().
- 
containsEntryDescription copied from interface:MultimapReturnstrueif this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the keykeyand the valuevalue.
- 
removeDescription copied from interface:MultimapRemoves a single key-value pair with the keykeyand the valuevaluefrom this multimap, if such exists. If multiple key-value pairs in the multimap fit this description, which one is removed is unspecified.
- 
putAllDescription copied from interface:MultimapStores a key-value pair in this multimap for each ofvalues, 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 valuesis empty.
- 
putAllDescription copied from interface:MultimapStores all key-value pairs ofmultimapin this multimap, in the order returned bymultimap.entries().
- 
keySetDescription copied from interface:MultimapReturns 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. 
- 
keysDescription copied from interface:MultimapReturns 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, andkeys().count(k) == get(k).size()for allk.Changes to the returned multiset will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible. 
- 
asMapDescription copied from interface:MultimapReturns a view of this multimap as aMapfrom each distinct key to the nonempty collection of that key's associated values. Note thatthis.asMap().get(k)is equivalent tothis.get(k)only whenkis a key contained in the multimap; otherwise it returnsnullas 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 putorputAll, nor do its entries supportsetValue.
- 
equalsDescription copied from interface:MultimapCompares the specified object with this multimap for equality. Two multimaps are equal when their map views, as returned byMultimap.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 SetMultimapinstances with the same key-value mappings are equal, but equality of twoListMultimapinstances depends on the ordering of the values for each key.A non-empty SetMultimapcannot be equal to a non-emptyListMultimap, since theirMultimap.asMap()views contain unequal collections as values. However, any two empty multimaps are equal, because they both have emptyMultimap.asMap()views.
- 
hashCodepublic 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().
- 
toStringReturns a string representation of the multimap, generated by callingtoStringon the map returned byMultimap.asMap().
