How to get a List from a HashMap<String,List>












8














I want to extract a List<E> from a Map<String,List<E>> (E is a random Class) using stream().



I want a simple one-line method using java 8's stream.



What I have tried until now : 



HashMap<String,List<E>> map = new HashMap<>();

List<E> list = map.values(); // does not compile

list = map.values().stream().collect(Collectors.toList()); // does not compile





java collections java-8 java-stream collectors

          map.values() returns a Collection<List<E>> not a List<E>, if you want the latter then you're required to flatten the nested List<E> into a single List<E> as follows:



          List<E> result = map.values()
          
                    .stream()
          
                    .flatMap(List::stream)
          
                    .collect(Collectors.toList());

            Here's an alternate way to do it with Java-9 and above:



            List<E> result = map.values()
            
                    .stream()
            
                    .collect(Collectors.flatMapping(List::stream, Collectors.toList()));

              Just the apiNote :- The flatMapping() collectors are most useful when used in a multi-level reduction, such as downstream of a groupingBy or partitioningBy.

              It decreases indeed the readability here. The Java 8 way is clearly more relevant here.

              In fact it is not the Java 9 solution. It is a way possible with Java 9. But the Java 9 way to favor is of course the same as with Java 8 : stackoverflow.com/a/54054456/270371

            In addition to other answers:



            List<E> result = map.values()
            
                    .stream()
            
                    .collect(ArrayList::new, List::addAll, List::addAll);


            This could also do the trick.

              Or use forEach 



               map.forEach((k,v)->list.addAll(v));


              or as Aomine commented use this 



              map.values().forEach(list::addAll);

                good idea in showing a non-stream version. btw it would be better to iterate over the values since you're not doing anything with the k i.e. you can do List<String> result = new ArrayList<>(); map.values().forEach(result::addAll);

              You can use Collection.stream with flatMap as:



              Map<String, List<E>> map = new HashMap<>(); // program to interface
              
List<E> list = map.values()
              
                  .stream()
              
                  .flatMap(Collection::stream)
              
                  .collect(Collectors.toList());


              or use a non-stream version as:



              List<E> list = new ArrayList<>();
              
map.values().forEach(list::addAll)

                Simply use :-



                map.values().stream().flatMap(List::stream).collect(Collectors.toList());

                            It decreases indeed the readability here. The Java 8 way is clearly more relevant here.

                            In fact it is not the Java 9 solution. It is a way possible with Java 9. But the Java 9 way to favor is of course the same as with Java 8 : stackoverflow.com/a/54054456/270371

I managed to boot Windows again, but not Linux. Following online suggestions, I created a Live USB of Ubuntu, and booted from that. Then I have installed and run the boot-repair utility. The utility instructs me to type several lines including sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda6" apt-get purge -y grub*-common grub-common:i386 To which I receive the error E: Unable to locate package grub-common:i386 I am given to understand the issue may have to do with having UEFI vs BIOS (I believe I have UEFI), but do not understand this well. In any case I have subsequently run the boot-repair BootInfo Summary utility which created the following file h
