- Type Parameters:
E- type of objects stored in this sparse array
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
Note that this container keeps its mappings in an array data structure, using a binary search to find keys. The implementation is not intended to be appropriate for data structures that may contain large numbers of items. It is generally slower than a HashMap because lookups require a binary search, and adds and removes require inserting and deleting entries in array. For containers holding up to hundreds of items, the performance difference is less than 50%.
To help with performance, the container includes an optimization when removing keys: instead of compacting its array immediately, it leaves the removed entry marked as deleted. The entry can then be re-used for the same key or compacted later in a single garbage collection of all removed entries. This garbage collection must be performed whenever the array needs to be grown, or when the map size or entry values are retrieved.
It is possible to iterate over the items in this container using keyAt(int) and valueAt(int). Iterating over keys using keyAt(int) with ascending values of index returns keys in ascending order. In the case of valueAt(int), values corresponding to keys are returned in ascending order.
I2P - as of 0.9.48, changed to use chars for the index, max value 65535.

Constructor Details
SparseArray
public SparseArray()Creates a new SparseArray containing no mappings.SparseArray
public SparseArray(int initialCapacity) Creates a new SparseArray containing no mappings that will not require any additional memory allocation to store the specified number of mappings. If you supply an initial capacity of 0, the sparse array will be initialized with a light-weight representation not requiring any additional array allocations.- Parameters:
initialCapacity- mappings to preallocate backing arrays for; 0 allocates none
SparseArray
Method Details
clone
Returns a shallow copy of this SparseArray with deep-copied key and value arrays so the clone's internal arrays are independent of the original's.get
Object mapped from the specified key, ornullif no such mapping has been made.- Parameters:
key- 0 MIN, 65535 MAX- Returns:
- the value stored for key, or null if the key is not mapped
get
Object mapped from the specified key, or the specified Object if no such mapping has been made.- Parameters:
key- 0 MIN, 65535 MAXvalueIfKeyNotFound- returned in place of null when the key is not mapped- Returns:
- the value stored for key, or valueIfKeyNotFound if the key is not mapped
delete
public void delete(int key) Removes the mapping from the specified key, if there was any.- Parameters:
key- 0 MIN, 65535 MAX
removeReturnOld
Removes the mapping from the specified key, if there was any, returning the old value.- Parameters:
key- 0 MIN, 65535 MAX- Returns:
- the value removed from the array, or null if the key was not mapped
remove
removeAt
public void removeAt(int index) Removes the mapping at the specified index.For indices outside of the range
0...size()-1, aArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptionis thrown.- Parameters:
index- position of the mapping to drop, 0 tosize()-1
removeAtRange
public void removeAtRange(int index, int size) Remove a range of mappings as a batch.- Parameters:
index- Index to begin atsize- Number of mappings to removeFor indices outside of the range
0...size()-1, the behavior is undefined.
gc
private void gc()Removes the deleted entries.put
Adds a mapping from the specified key to the specified value, replacing the previous mapping from the specified key if there was one.- Parameters:
key- 0 MIN, 65535 MAXvalue- the element to store, replacing any existing mapping for key
size
public int size()Returns the number of key-value mappings that this SparseArray currently stores.- Returns:
- the number of live mappings, 0 for an empty array
keyAt
public int keyAt(int index) Given an index in the range0...size()-1, returns the key from theindexth key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.The keys corresponding to indices in ascending order are guaranteed to be in ascending order, e.g.,
keyAt(0)will return the smallest key andkeyAt(size()-1)will return the largest key.For indices outside of the range
0...size()-1, aArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptionis thrown.- Parameters:
index- position of the mapping, 0 to size()-1- Returns:
- the key at that position, in ascending key order
valueAt
Given an index in the range0...size()-1, returns the value from theindexth key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.The values corresponding to indices in ascending order are guaranteed to be associated with keys in ascending order, e.g.,
valueAt(0)will return the value associated with the smallest key andvalueAt(size()-1)will return the value associated with the largest key.For indices outside of the range
0...size()-1, aArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptionis thrown.- Parameters:
index- position of the mapping, 0 to size()-1- Returns:
- the element stored at that position
setValueAt
Given an index in the range0...size()-1, sets a new value for theindexth key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.For indices outside of the range
0...size()-1, aArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptionis thrown.- Parameters:
index- position of the mapping, 0 to size()-1value- the element to store there, leaving the key unchanged
indexOfKey
public int indexOfKey(int key) Returns the index for whichkeyAt(int)would return the specified key, or a negative number if the specified key is not mapped.- Parameters:
key- 0 MIN, 65535 MAX- Returns:
- the position of the mapping, or a negative value if key is not mapped
indexOfValue
Returns an index for whichvalueAt(int)would return the specified value, or a negative number if no keys map to the specified value.Beware that this is a linear search, unlike lookups by key, and that multiple keys can map to the same value and this will find only one of them.
Note also that unlike most collections'
indexOfmethods, this method compares values using==rather thanequals.- Parameters:
value- the element to look for, compared by reference- Returns:
- the position of one mapping holding it, or -1 if none does
indexOfValueByValue
Returns an index for whichvalueAt(int)would return the specified value, or a negative number if no keys map to the specified value.Beware that this is a linear search, unlike lookups by key, and that multiple keys can map to the same value and this will find only one of them.
Note also that this method uses
equalsunlikeindexOfValue.- Parameters:
value- the element to look for, compared with equals()- Returns:
- the position of one mapping equal to it, or -1 if none is
clear
public void clear()Removes all key-value mappings from this SparseArray.append
Puts a key/value pair into the array, optimizing for the case where the key is greater than all existing keys in the array.- Parameters:
key- 0 MIN, 65535 MAXvalue- the element to store, replacing any existing mapping for key
