A KeyValuePair in Java [duplicate]

Answer 1

I've published a NameValuePair class in GlobalMentor's core library, available in Maven. This is an ongoing project with a long history, so please submit any request for changes or improvements.

Answer 2

import java.util.Map;

public class KeyValue<K, V> implements Map.Entry<K, V>
{
    private K key;
    private V value;

    public KeyValue(K key, V value)
    {
        this.key = key;
        this.value = value;
    }

    public K getKey()
    {
        return this.key;
    }

    public V getValue()
    {
        return this.value;
    }

    public K setKey(K key)
    {
        return this.key = key;
    }

    public V setValue(V value)
    {
        return this.value = value;
    }
}

Answer 3

I like to use

Properties

Example:

Properties props = new Properties();

props.setProperty("displayName", "Jim Wilson"); // (key, value)

String name = props.getProperty("displayName"); // => Jim Wilson

String acctNum = props.getProperty("accountNumber"); // => null

String nextPosition = props.getProperty("position", "1"); // => 1

If you are familiar with a hash table you will be pretty familiar with this already

Answer 4

You can create your custom KeyValuePair class easily

public class Key<K, V>{

    K key;
    V value;

    public Key() {

    }

    public Key(K key, V  value) {
        this.key = key;
        this.value = value;
    }

    public void setValue(V value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
    public V getValue() {
        return value;
    }

    public void setKey(K key) {
        this.key = key;
    }
    public K getKey() {
        return key;
    }

}
