Question

I have a map and this contains objects, lets say of type ‘Apple’. I currently have an iterator but the only thing I seem to be able to call is the getKey and getValue. getValue seems to return the memory address of the actual Apple object, but i wanted to be able to do Apple a = Map.Entry.getValue()

i can only seem to get the key and memory address :s

Iterator it = ApplesMap.entrySet().iterator();     
while (it.hasNext()) {         
    Map.Entry entries = (Map.Entry)it.next();         
    System.out.println(entries.getKey() + " = " + entries.getValue());
    //Apple a = entries.getValue(); 
} 

Answer 1

Try it this way if you’re using JDK 6:

for (Apple apple : applesMap.values())
{
    // process apple here.
}
