  • Method Details

    • comparator

      Comparator<? super K> comparator()
    • flip

      Description copied from interface: MapIterable
      Given a map from Domain -> Range return a multimap from Range -> Domain. We chose the name 'flip' rather than 'invert' or 'transpose' since this method does not have the property of applying twice returns the original.

      Since the keys in the input are unique, the values in the output are unique, so the return type should be a SetMultimap. However, since SetMultimap and SortedSetMultimap don't inherit from one another, SetMultimap here does not allow SortedMapIterable to have a SortedSetMultimap return. Thus, we compromise and call this Multimap, even though all implementations will be a SetMultimap or SortedSetMultimap.

      <P, V1> ListIterable<V1> collectWith(Function2<? super V,? super P,? extends V1> function, P parameter)
      Description copied from interface: RichIterable
      Same as RichIterable.collect(Function) with a Function2 and specified parameter which is passed to the block.

      Example using a Java 8 lambda expression:

       RichIterable<Integer> integers =
           Lists.mutable.with(1, 2, 3).collectWith((each, parameter) -> each + parameter, Integer.valueOf(1));
       

      Example using an anonymous inner class:

       Function2<Integer, Integer, Integer> addParameterFunction =
           new Function2<Integer, Integer, Integer>()
           {
               public Integer value(Integer each, Integer parameter)
               {
                   return each + parameter;
               }
           };
       RichIterable<Integer> integers =
           Lists.mutable.with(1, 2, 3).collectWith(addParameterFunction, Integer.valueOf(1));

      parameter - A parameter to pass in for evaluation of the second argument P in function
      Returns:
      A new RichIterable that contains the transformed elements returned by Function2.value(Object, Object)

    • collectIf

      <V1> ListIterable<V1> collectIf(Predicate<? super V> predicate, Function<? super V,? extends V1> function)
      Description copied from interface: RichIterable
      Returns a new collection with the results of applying the specified function on each element of the source collection, but only for those elements which return true upon evaluation of the predicate. This is the optimized equivalent of calling iterable.select(predicate).collect(function).

      Example using a Java 8 lambda and method reference:

       RichIterable<String> strings = Lists.mutable.with(1, 2, 3).collectIf(e -> e != null, Object::toString);
       

      Example using Predicates factory:

       RichIterable<String> strings = Lists.mutable.with(1, 2, 3).collectIf(Predicates.notNull(), Functions.getToString());

    • flatCollect

      <V1> ListIterable<V1> flatCollect(Function<? super V,? extends Iterable<V1>> function)
      Description copied from interface: RichIterable
      flatCollect is a special case of RichIterable.collect(Function). With collect, when the Function returns a collection, the result is a collection of collections. flatCollect outputs a single "flattened" collection instead. This method is commonly called flatMap.

      Consider the following example where we have a Person class, and each Person has a list of Address objects. Take the following Function:

       Function<Person, List<Address>> addressFunction = Person::getAddresses;
       RichIterable<Person> people = ...;
       
      Using collect returns a collection of collections of addresses.
       RichIterable<List<Address>> addresses = people.collect(addressFunction);
       
      Using flatCollect returns a single flattened list of addresses.
       RichIterable<Address> addresses = people.flatCollect(addressFunction);

    • groupBy

      <VV> ListMultimap<VV,V> groupBy(Function<? super V,? extends VV> function)
      Description copied from interface: RichIterable
      For each element of the iterable, the function is evaluated and the results of these evaluations are collected into a new multimap, where the transformed value is the key and the original values are added to the same (or similar) species of collection as the source iterable.

      Example using a Java 8 method reference:

       Multimap<String, Person> peopleByLastName =
           people.groupBy(Person::getLastName);
       

      Example using an anonymous inner class:

       Multimap<String, Person> peopleByLastName =
           people.groupBy(new Function<Person, String>()
           {
               public String valueOf(Person person)
