I have the following Object and a Map:
MyObject
String name;
Long priority;
foo bar;
Map> anotherHashMap;
I want to convert the Map in another Map. The Key of the result map is the key of the input map. The value of the result map ist the Property "name" of My object, ordered by priority.
The ordering and extracting the name is not the problem, but I could not put it into the result map. I do it the old Java 7 way, but it would be nice it is possible to use the streaming API.
Map> result = new HashMap<>();
for (String identifier : anotherHashMap.keySet()) {
List generatedList = anotherHashMap.get(identifier).stream()...;
teaserPerPage.put(identifier, generatedList);
}
Has anyone an idea? I tried this, but got stuck:
anotherHashMap.entrySet().stream().collect(Collectors.asMap(..., ...));
解决方案
Map> result = anotherHashMap
.entrySet().stream() // Stream over entry set
.collect(Collectors.toMap( // Collect final result map
Map.Entry::getKey, // Key mapping is the same
e -> e.getValue().stream() // Stream over list
.sorted(Comparator.comparingLong(MyObject::getPriority)) // Sort by priority
.map(MyObject::getName) // Apply mapping to MyObject
.collect(Collectors.toList())) // Collect mapping into list
);
Essentially, you stream over each entry set and collect it into a new map. To compute the value in the new map, you stream over the List from the old map, sort, and apply a mapping and collection function to it. In this case I used MyObject::getName as the mapping and collected the resulting names into a list.
