    • Constructor Detail

      • AbstractListMultimap

        protected AbstractListMultimap​(java.util.Map<K,​java.util.Collection<V>> map)
        Creates a new multimap that uses the provided map.
        Parameters:
        map - place to store the mapping from each key to its corresponding values
    • Method Detail

      • createCollection

        abstract java.util.List<V> createCollection()
        Description copied from class: AbstractMapBasedMultimap
        Creates the collection of values for a single key.

        Collections with weak, soft, or phantom references are not supported. Each call to createCollection should create a new instance.

        The returned collection class determines whether duplicate key-value pairs are allowed.

        Specified by:
        createCollection in class AbstractMapBasedMultimap<K,​V>
        Returns:
        an empty collection of values
      • get

        public java.util.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>
        Overrides:
        get in class AbstractMapBasedMultimap<K,​V>
      • removeAll

        public java.util.List<V> removeAll​(@Nullable
                                           java.lang.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>
        Overrides:
        removeAll in class AbstractMapBasedMultimap<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 java.util.List<V> replaceValues​(@Nullable
                                               K key,
                                               java.lang.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>
        Overrides:
        replaceValues in class AbstractMapBasedMultimap<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>
        Overrides:
        put in class AbstractMapBasedMultimap<K,​V>
        Parameters:
        key - key to store in the multimap
        value - value to store in the multimap
        Returns:
        true always
      • asMap

        public java.util.Map<K,​java.util.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>
        Overrides:
        asMap in class AbstractMultimap<K,​V>
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(@Nullable
                              java.lang.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.

        equals in interface ListMultimap<K,​V>
        Specified by:
        equals in interface Multimap<K,​V>
        Overrides:
