Issue
I have a list of custom object,
public class Assignmentsdata {
String assignmentId;
String teacherId;
String groupName;
String sectionId;
String levelId;
String startTime;
}
ArrayList<Assignmentsdata> list = new ArrayList<>();
lets say there are 20 elements in that list.
Now I want to get the output which is a hashmap of startTime as a key and the Value would be a new HashMap of GroupID and a list of Assignments of those that had the same groupName.
OutPut Example
HashMap<startTime,HasMap<groupName,List> hashMap = new HashMap();
a little more insight about the problem: First I want to categorise based on startTime(Month) then i want to categorise based on groupName, Thanks in advance.
I have successfully categorised based on group name and created a map through below code:
for( int i = 0; i<assignmentsdataArrayList.size();i++ ){
if (hashMap.size()>0){
hashMap.get(assignmentsdataArrayList.get(i).getGroupName()).add(assignmentsdataArrayList.get(i));
}else {
hashMap.put(assignmentsdataArrayList.get(i).getGroupName(),new ArrayList<Assignmentsdata>());
hashMap.get(assignmentsdataArrayList.get(i).getGroupName()).add(assignmentsdataArrayList.get(i));
}
}
After that I am lost on how to categorise this hashmap based on the startDate and create a hashmap that would look like the above hashmap in the output heading.
Solution
your code may throw a NullPointerException at the first if branch
if (hashMap.size()>0)
{hashMap.get(assignmentsdataArrayList.get(i).getGroupName()).add(assignmentsdataArrayList.get(i));
}
the map.size()>0 doesnt means the Value of GroupName has put a new ArrayList already.
the anwser of using loop should like this
Map<String, Map<String, List<Assignmentsdata>>> map = new HashMap<>();
for (Assignmentsdata assignmentsdata : list) {
if (!map.containsKey(assignmentsdata.getStartTime())) {
map.put(assignmentsdata.getStartTime(), new HashMap<>());
}
Map<String, List<Assignmentsdata>> startTimeMap = map.get(assignmentsdata.startTime);
if (!startTimeMap.containsKey(assignmentsdata.getGroupName())) {
startTimeMap.put(assignmentsdata.getGroupName(), new ArrayList<>());
}
startTimeMap.get(assignmentsdata.groupName).add(assignmentsdata);
}
or you could use the java stream().collect(Collectors.groupingBy()) api to get the result easily
Map<String, Map<String, List<Assignmentsdata>>> result = list.stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Assignmentsdata::getStartTime,Collectors.groupingBy(Assignmentsdata::getGroupName)));
