Method Details

getIndex

public int getIndex(Comparable key)
Returns the index for a given key.
Parameters:
key - the key (null not permitted).
Returns:
The index, or -1 if the key is unrecognised.

getKey

public Comparable getKey(int index)
Returns the key associated with the item at a given position. Note that some implementations allow re-ordering of the data items, so the result may be transient.
Parameters:
index - the item index (in the range 0 to getItemCount() - 1).
Returns:
The key (never null).

getKeys

public List getKeys()
Returns the keys for the values in the collection. Note that you can access the values in this collection by key or by index. For this reason, the key order is important - this method should return the keys in order. The returned list may be unmodifiable.
Returns:
The keys (never null).

getValue

public Number getValue(Comparable key)
Returns the value for a given key.
Parameters:
key - the key.
Returns:
The value (possibly null).
