How does one convert a HashMap to a List in Java?

Question

In Java, how does one get the values of a HashMap returned as a List?

Answer 1

Solution using Java 8 and Stream Api:

private static   List createListFromMapEntries (Map map){
        return map.values().stream().collect(Collectors.toList());
    }

Usage:

  public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        Map map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put(1, "one");
        map.put(2, "two");
        map.put(3, "three");

        List result = createListFromMapEntries(map);
        result.forEach(System.out :: println);
    }
