Fields Summary

Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public java.util.Comparator	comparator() Returns the comparator used to compare keys in this sorted map. return the comparator or {@code null} if the natural order is used. since Android 1.0
public K	firstKey() Returns the first key in this sorted map. return the first key in this sorted map. exception NoSuchElementException if this sorted map is empty. since Android 1.0
public java.util.SortedMap	headMap(K endKey) Returns a sorted map over a range of this sorted map with all keys that are less than the specified {@code endKey}. Changes to the returned sorted map are reflected in this sorted map and vice versa. Note: The returned map will not allow an insertion of a key outside the specified range. param endKey the high boundary of the range specified. return a sorted map where the keys are less than {@code endKey}. throws ClassCastException if the class of the end key is inappropriate for this sorted map. throws NullPointerException if the end key is {@code null} and this sorted map does not support {@code null} keys. throws IllegalArgumentException if this map is itself a sorted map over a range of another map and the specified key is outside of its range. since Android 1.0
public K	lastKey() Returns the last key in this sorted map. return the last key in this sorted map. exception NoSuchElementException if this sorted map is empty. since Android 1.0
public java.util.SortedMap	subMap(K startKey, K endKey) Returns a sorted map over a range of this sorted map with all keys greater than or equal to the specified {@code startKey} and less than the specified {@code endKey}. Changes to the returned sorted map are reflected in this sorted map and vice versa. Note: The returned map will not allow an insertion of a key outside the specified range. param startKey the low boundary of the range (inclusive). param endKey the high boundary of the range (exclusive), return a sorted map with the key from the specified range. throws ClassCastException if the class of the start or end key is inappropriate for this sorted map. throws NullPointerException if the start or end key is {@code null} and this sorted map does not support {@code null} keys. throws IllegalArgumentException if the start key is greater than the end key, or if this map is itself a sorted map over a range of another sorted map and the specified range is outside of its range. since Android 1.0
public java.util.SortedMap	tailMap(K startKey) Returns a sorted map over a range of this sorted map with all keys that are greater than or equal to the specified {@code startKey}. Changes to the returned sorted map are reflected in this sorted map and vice versa. Note: The returned map will not allow an insertion of a key outside the specified range. param startKey the low boundary of the range specified. return a sorted map where the keys are greater or equal to {@code startKey}. throws ClassCastException if the class of the start key is inappropriate for this sorted map. throws NullPointerException if the start key is {@code null} and this sorted map does not support {@code null} keys. throws IllegalArgumentException if this map itself a sorted map over a range of another map and the specified key is outside of its range. since Android 1.0
