Get keys from HashMap in Java

Question

I have a Hashmap in Java like this:

private Map team1 = new HashMap();

Then I fill it like th

Answer 1

Check this.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html

(Use java.util.Objects.equals because HashMap can contain null)

Using JDK8+

/**
 * Find any key matching a value.
 *
 * @param value The value to be matched. Can be null.
 * @return Any key matching the value in the team.
 */
private Optional getKey(Integer value){
    return team1
        .entrySet()
        .stream()
        .filter(e -> Objects.equals(e.getValue(), value))
        .map(Map.Entry::getKey)
        .findAny();
}

/**
 * Find all keys matching a value.
 *
 * @param value The value to be matched. Can be null.
 * @return all keys matching the value in the team.
 */
private List getKeys(Integer value){
    return team1
        .entrySet()
        .stream()
        .filter(e -> Objects.equals(e.getValue(), value))
        .map(Map.Entry::getKey)
        .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

More "generic" and as safe as possible

/**
 * Find any key matching the value, in the given map.
 *
 * @param mapOrNull Any map, null is considered a valid value.
 * @param value     The value to be searched.
 * @param        Type of the key.
 * @param        Type of the value.
 * @return An optional containing a key, if found.
 */
public static  Optional getKey(Map mapOrNull, T value) {
    return Optional.ofNullable(mapOrNull).flatMap(map -> map.entrySet()
            .stream()
            .filter(e -> Objects.equals(e.getValue(), value))
            .map(Map.Entry::getKey)
            .findAny());
}

Or if you are on JDK7.

private String getKey(Integer value){
    for(String key : team1.keySet()){
        if(Objects.equals(team1.get(key), value)){
            return key; //return the first found
        }
    }
    return null;
}

private List getKeys(Integer value){
   List keys = new ArrayList();
   for(String key : team1.keySet()){
        if(Objects.equals(team1.get(key), value)){
             keys.add(key);
      }
   }
   return keys;
}
