- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Multimap<K,V>,- Serializable
 - Direct Known Subclasses:
- ImmutableListMultimap,- ImmutableSetMultimap
 
 @GwtCompatible(emulated=true) public abstract class ImmutableMultimap<K,V> extends Object implements Serializable AMultimapwhose contents will never change, with many other important properties detailed atImmutableCollection.Warning: avoid direct usage of ImmutableMultimapas a type (as withMultimapitself). Prefer subtypes such asImmutableSetMultimaporImmutableListMultimap, which have well-definedMultimap.equals(java.lang.Object)semantics, thus avoiding a common source of bugs and confusion.Note: every ImmutableMultimapoffers aninverse()view, so there is no need for a distinctImmutableBiMultimaptype.Key-grouped iteration. All view collections follow the same iteration order. In all current implementations, the iteration order always keeps multiple entries with the same key together. Any creation method that would customarily respect insertion order (such as copyOf(Multimap)) instead preserves key-grouped order by inserting entries for an existing key immediately after the last entry having that key.See the Guava User Guide article on immutable collections. - Since:

containsKeypublic boolean containsKey(@Nullable Object key) Description copied from interface:MultimapReturnstrueif this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the keykey.- Specified by:
- containsKeyin interface- Multimap<K,V>
 
 - 
containsValuepublic boolean containsValue(@Nullable Object value) Description copied from interface:MultimapReturnstrueif this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the valuevalue.- Specified by:
- containsValuein interface- Multimap<K,V>
 
 - 
sizepublic int size() Description copied from interface:MultimapReturns the number of key-value pairs in this multimap.Note: this method does not return the number of distinct keys in the multimap, which is given by keySet().size()orasMap().size(). See the opening section of theMultimapclass documentation for clarification.
 - 
keySetpublic ImmutableSet<K> keySet() Returns an immutable set of the distinct keys in this multimap, in the same order as they appear in this multimap.
 - 
asMappublic ImmutableMap<K,Collection<V>> asMap() Returns an immutable map that associates each key with its corresponding values in the multimap. Keys and values appear in the same order as in this multimap.
 - 
entriespublic ImmutableCollection<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries() Returns an immutable collection of all key-value pairs in the multimap.
 - 
forEachpublic void forEach(BiConsumer<? super K,? super V> action) Description copied from interface:MultimapPerforms the given action for all key-value pairs contained in this multimap. If an ordering is specified by theMultimapimplementation, actions will be performed in the order of iteration ofMultimap.entries(). Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.To loop over all keys and their associated value collections, write Multimaps.asMap(multimap).forEach((key, valueCollection) -> action()).
 - 
keyspublic ImmutableMultiset<K> keys() Returns an immutable multiset containing all the keys in this multimap, in the same order and with the same frequencies as they appear in this multimap; to get only a single occurrence of each key, usekeySet().
 - 
valuespublic ImmutableCollection<V> values() Returns an immutable collection of the values in this multimap. Its iterator traverses the values for the first key, the values for the second key, and so on.
 - 
isEmptypublic boolean isEmpty() Description copied from interface:MultimapReturnstrueif this multimap contains no key-value pairs. Equivalent tosize() == 0, but can in some cases be more efficient.
 -

- containsEntryin interface- Multimap<K,V>
 
 - 
equalspublic boolean equals(@Nullable Object object) Description copied from class:java.lang.ObjectIndicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.The equalsmethod implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:- It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value
     x,x.equals(x)should returntrue.
- It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values
     xandy,x.equals(y)should returntrueif and only ify.equals(x)returnstrue.
- It is transitive: for any non-null reference values
     x,y, andz, ifx.equals(y)returnstrueandy.equals(z)returnstrue, thenx.equals(z)should returntrue.
- It is consistent: for any non-null reference values
     xandy, multiple invocations ofx.equals(y)consistently returntrueor consistently returnfalse, provided no information used inequalscomparisons on the objects is modified.
- For any non-null reference value x,x.equals(null)should returnfalse.
 The equalsmethod for classObjectimplements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference valuesxandy, this method returnstrueif and only ifxandyrefer to the same object (x == yhas the valuetrue).Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCodemethod whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for thehashCodemethod, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
- It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value
     
 - 
hashCodepublic int hashCode() Returns the hash code for this multimap.The hash code of a multimap is defined as the hash code of the map view, as returned by Multimap.asMap().- Specified by:
- hashCodein interface- Multimap<K,V>
- Overrides:
- hashCodein class- Object
- Returns:
- a hash code value for this object.

- Map.hashCode()
 
 - 
toStringpublic String toString() Returns a string representation of the multimap, generated by callingtoStringon the map returned byMultimap.asMap().
