Dynamic Checkboxes: Java Code (Cont.)
final LinkedHashMap<String, String>
    alphabet = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>( );

  • HashMap is hashtable based implementation of the Map interface. The HashMap class is roughly equivalent to Hashtable, except that it is unsynchronized and permits nulls.

  • LinkedHashMap differs from HashMap in that it maintains a doubly-linked list running through all of its entries. This linked list defines the iteration ordering, which is normally the order in which keys were inserted into the map (insertion-order).

alphabet.put( "260", ".NET" );
The method put associates the specified value with the specified key in this map. If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced.

Set<?> set = alphabet.entrySet( );
Returns a Set view of the mappings contained in this map.

Iterator<?> i = set.iterator( );
Returns an iterator over the elements in this set.

while ( i.hasNext( ) ) {
Returns true if the iteration has more elements.

@SuppressWarnings( "rawtypes" )
Indicates that the named compiler warnings should be suppressed in the annotated element.

Map.Entry me = ( Map.Entry ) i.next( );
A map entry is a key-value pair. The method next returns the next element in the iteration.
