I'm relatively new to Java8 and I have a scenario where I need to retrieve all the keys from the Map which matched with the objects.
Wanted to know if there is a way to get all keys without iterating them from the list again.
Person.java
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
//setters and getters & constructor
MAIN Class.
String inputCriteriaFirstName = "john";
Map<String, Person> inputMap = new HashMap<>();
Collection<Person> personCollection = inputMap.values();
List<Person> personList = new ArrayList<>(personCollection);
List<Person> personOutputList = personList.stream()
.filter(p -> p.getFirstName().contains(inputCriteriaFirstName ))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
//IS There a BETTER way to DO Below ??
Set<String> keys = new HashSet<>();
for(Person person : personOutputList) {
keys.addAll(inputMap.entrySet().stream().filter(entry -> Objects.equals(entry.getValue(), person))
.map(Map.Entry::getKey).collect(Collectors.toSet()));
}
To retrieve the set of keys from HashMap, use the keyset() method. However, for set of values, use the values() method.
Get keys from value in HashMap To find all the keys that map to a certain value, we can loop the entrySet() and Objects. equals to compare the value and get the key. The common mistake is use the entry. getValue().
inputMap.entrySet()
.stream()
.filter(entry -> personOutputList.contains(entry.getValue()))
.map(Entry::getKey)
.collect(Collectors.toCollection(HashSet::new))
