AbstractMap.SimpleEntry

public static class AbstractMap.SimpleEntry
extends Object implements Entry<K, V>, Serializable

java.lang.Object
↳	java.util.AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<K, V>

An Entry maintaining a key and a value. The value may be changed using the setValue method. Instances of this class are not associated with any map nor with any map's entry-set view.

Summary

Public constructors
`SimpleEntry(Entry<? extends K, ? extends V> entry)` Creates an entry representing the same mapping as the specified entry.
`SimpleEntry(K key, V value)` Creates an entry representing a mapping from the specified key to the specified value.

Public methods
`boolean`	`equals(Object o)` Compares the specified object with this entry for equality.
`K`	`getKey()` Returns the key corresponding to this entry.
`V`	`getValue()` Returns the value corresponding to this entry.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns the hash code value for this map entry.
`V`	`setValue(V value)` Replaces the value corresponding to this entry with the specified value.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a String representation of this map entry.

Inherited methods

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface

Public constructors

SimpleEntry

Added in API level 9

public SimpleEntry (Entry<? extends K, ? extends V> entry)

Creates an entry representing the same mapping as the specified entry.

Parameters
`entry`	`Entry`: the entry to copy

SimpleEntry

Added in API level 9

public SimpleEntry (K key, 
                V value)

Creates an entry representing a mapping from the specified key to the specified value.

Parameters
`key`	`K`: the key represented by this entry
`value`	`V`: the value represented by this entry

Public methods

equals

Added in API level 9

public boolean equals (Object o)

Compares the specified object with this entry for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a map entry and the two entries represent the same mapping. More formally, two entries e1 and e2 represent the same mapping if

   (e1.getKey()==null ?
    e2.getKey()==null :
    e1.getKey().equals(e2.getKey()))
   &&
   (e1.getValue()==null ?
    e2.getValue()==null :
    e1.getValue().equals(e2.getValue()))

This ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the Map.Entry interface.

Parameters
`o`	`Object`: object to be compared for equality with this map entry

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the specified object is equal to this map entry

hashCode()

getKey

Added in API level 9

public K getKey ()

Returns the key corresponding to this entry.

Returns
`K`	the key corresponding to this entry

getValue

Added in API level 9

public V getValue ()

Returns the value corresponding to this entry.

Returns
`V`	the value corresponding to this entry

hashCode

Added in API level 9

public int hashCode ()

Returns the hash code value for this map entry. The hash code of a map entry e is defined to be:

   (e.getKey()==null   ? 0 : e.getKey().hashCode()) ^
   (e.getValue()==null ? 0 : e.getValue().hashCode())

This ensures that e1.equals(e2) implies that e1.hashCode()==e2.hashCode() for any two Entries e1 and e2, as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode.

Returns
`int`	the hash code value for this map entry

See also:

equals(Object)

setValue

Added in API level 9

public V setValue (V value)

Replaces the value corresponding to this entry with the specified value.

Parameters
`value`	`V`: new value to be stored in this entry

Returns
`V`	the old value corresponding to the entry

toString

Added in API level 9

public String toString ()

Returns a String representation of this map entry. This implementation returns the string representation of this entry's key followed by the equals character ("=") followed by the string representation of this entry's value.

Returns
`String`	a String representation of this map entry
