Class SparseArray<E>
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
SparseArray
maps integers to Objects and, unlike a normal array of Objects,
its indices can contain gaps. SparseArray
is intended to be more memory-efficient
than a HashMap
, because it avoids auto-boxing keys and its data structure doesn't
rely on an extra entry object for each mapping.
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 the 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 the keys using
keyAt(int)
with ascending values of the index returns the
keys in ascending order. In the case of valueAt(int)
, the
values corresponding to the keys are returned in ascending order.

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.

Method Details
-
get
Gets the Object mapped from the specified key, ornull
if no such mapping has been made. -
get
Gets the Object mapped from the specified key, or the specified Object if no such mapping has been made. -
delete
public void delete(int key) Removes the mapping from the specified key, if there was any. -
remove
Removes the mapping from the specified key, if there was any, returning the old value. -
remove
Remove an existing key from the array map only if it is currently mapped tovalue
.- Parameters:
key
- The key of the mapping to remove.value
- The value expected to be mapped to the key.- Returns:
- Returns true if the mapping was removed.
-
deleteAt
public void deleteAt(int index) Removes the mapping at the specified index, if there was any.- Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size()
)
-
removeAt
Removes the mapping at the specified index, if there was any, returning the old value.- Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index >= size()
)
-
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 remove
-
replace
Replace the mapping forkey
only if it is already mapped to a value.- Parameters:
key
- The key of the mapping to replace.value
- The value to store for the given key.- Returns:
- Returns the previous mapped value or null.
-
replace
Replace the mapping forkey
only if it is already mapped to a value.- Parameters:
key
- The key of the mapping to replace.oldValue
- The value expected to be mapped to the key.newValue
- The value to store for the given key.- Returns:
- Returns true if the value was replaced.
-
put
Adds a mapping from the specified key to the specified value, replacing the previous mapping from the specified key if there was one.- Returns:
- Returns the previous mapped value or null.
-
putAll
Copies all the mappings from theother
to this map. The effect of this call is equivalent to that of callingput(int, Object)
on this map once for each mapping from key to value inother
. -

, returns the key from theindex
th 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)

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. -
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'
indexOf
methods, this method compares values using==
rather thanequals
. -

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
equals
unlikeindexOfValue
. -

>= 0.- Parameters:
key
- Potential key in the mapping- Returns:
- true if the key is defined in the mapping
-
containsValue
Returns true if the specified value is mapped from any key. -
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. -
