How to use Dictionary (like iphone NSDictionary) in android?

Question

I have worked in soap message, and to parse the value from Webservice, the values are stored in ArrayList.

Example: values are Employee name (Siva) and Employee id (3433fd), these two values are stored in arraylist, but I want to stored in Dictionary, How?

Answer 1

you can use HashMap like this

Map <String,String> map =  new HashMap<String,String>(); //add items  map.put("3433fd","Siva"); //get items   String employeeName =(String) map.get("3433fd"); 

Answer 2

You can use Bundle.

as it offers String to various types of Mapping.

Bundle b = new Bundle(); b.putInt("identifier", 121); b.putString("identifier", "Any String"); b.putStringArray("identifier", stringArray);  int i = b.getInt("identifier"); ...
