public interface MapIterator<K,V>
extends Iterator<K>

Defines an iterator that operates over a Map.

This iterator is a special version designed for maps. It can be more efficient to use this rather than an entry set iterator where the option is available, and it is certainly more convenient.

A map that provides this interface may not hold the data internally using Map Entry objects, thus this interface can avoid lots of object creation.

In use, this iterator iterates through the keys in the map. After each call to next(), the getValue() method provides direct access to the value. The value can also be set using setValue().

 MapIterator<String,Integer> it = map.mapIterator();
 while (it.hasNext()) {
   String key = it.next();
   Integer value = it.getValue();
   it.setValue(value + 1);
 }

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
K	getKey() Gets the current key, which is the key returned by the last call to next().
V	getValue() Gets the current value, which is the value associated with the last key returned by next().
boolean	hasNext() Checks to see if there are more entries still to be iterated.
K	next() Gets the next key from the Map.
void	remove() Removes the last returned key from the underlying Map (optional operation).
V	setValue(V value) Sets the value associated with the current key (optional operation).

Method Detail

hasNext

boolean hasNext()

Checks to see if there are more entries still to be iterated.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface Iterator<K>

Returns:

true if the iterator has more elements

next

K next()

Gets the next key from the Map.

Specified by:

next in interface Iterator<K>

Returns:

the next key in the iteration

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - if the iteration is finished

getKey

K getKey()

Gets the current key, which is the key returned by the last call to next().

Returns:

the current key

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if next() has not yet been called

getValue

V getValue()

Gets the current value, which is the value associated with the last key returned by next().

Returns:

the current value

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if next() has not yet been called

remove

void remove()

Removes the last returned key from the underlying Map (optional operation).

This method can be called once per call to next().

Specified by:

remove in interface Iterator<K>

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if remove is not supported by the map

IllegalStateException - if next() has not yet been called

IllegalStateException - if remove() has already been called since the last call to next()

setValue

V setValue(V value)

Sets the value associated with the current key (optional operation).

Parameters:

value - the new value

Returns:

the previous value

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if setValue is not supported by the map

IllegalStateException - if next() has not yet been called

IllegalStateException - if remove() has been called since the last call to next()
