Using scala map in Java

Question

I have two files. One is scala and other is java.

Scala file has a function which returns scala immutable map.

Java file wants to use that map as dictionary.

I am a newbie to scala and java. How can I convert that scala map to java dicionary?

Answer 1

This is a better way to convert a Scala immutable.Map to a Java Map in Java.

java.util.Map<String, String> javaMap = scala.collection.JavaConverters
                                           .mapAsJavaMapConverter(scalaMap).asJava();
