[java] How to iterate over a TreeMap?

How do I iterate over each Entry in a Map?

I want to iterate over a TreeMap, and for all keys which have a particular value, I want them to be added to a new TreeMap. How can I do this?

This question is related to java collections treemap

The answer is


Assuming type TreeMap<String,Integer> :

for(Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : treeMap.entrySet()) {
  String key = entry.getKey();
  Integer value = entry.getValue();

  System.out.println(key + " => " + value);
}

(key and Value types can be any class of course)


    //create TreeMap instance
    TreeMap treeMap = new TreeMap();

    //add key value pairs to TreeMap
    treeMap.put("1","One");
    treeMap.put("2","Two");
    treeMap.put("3","Three");

    /*
      get Collection of values contained in TreeMap using
      Collection values()        
    */
    Collection c = treeMap.values();

    //obtain an Iterator for Collection
    Iterator itr = c.iterator();

    //iterate through TreeMap values iterator
    while(itr.hasNext())
      System.out.println(itr.next());

or:

   for (Map.Entry<K,V> entry : treeMap.entrySet()) {
        V value = entry.getValue();
        K key = entry.getKey();
   }

or:

   // Use iterator to display the keys and associated values
   System.out.println("Map Values Before: ");
   Set keys = map.keySet();
   for (Iterator i = keys.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
     Integer key = (Integer) i.next();
     String value = (String) map.get(key);
     System.out.println(key + " = " + value);
   }

Using Google Collections, assuming K is your key type:

Maps.filterKeys(treeMap, new Predicate<K>() {
  @Override
  public boolean apply(K key) {
    return false; //return true here if you need the entry to be in your new map
  }});

You can use filterEntries instead if you need the value as well.


Just to point out the generic way to iterate over any map:

 private <K, V> void iterateOverMap(Map<K, V> map) {
    for (Map.Entry<K, V> entry : map.entrySet()) {
        System.out.println("key ->" + entry.getKey() + ", value->" + entry.getValue());
    }
    }
