I know its a bit late to reply but I found this workaround helpful for my case...Hope it helps!

Use an array of HashMap to store HashMaps..

public static void main(String[] args) {
    HashMap[] arr = new HashMap[1];//creating an array of size one..just for sake of example
    HashMap arrMap = new HashMap();

    //use loops to store desired key-value pairs into the HashMap which will be stored inside the array
    arrMap.put("ABC", "Name");

    //use loop to store your desired hashMap into the array at a particular index
    arr[0] = arrMap;

    //desired manipulation of the stored array.
    System.out.println(arr[0]);
}
