HashMap to TreeMap

Question

I am using TreeMap to sort the keys in the Map.

Map<Byte, List<TagEntity>> hashMap = list.stream().collect(Collectors.groupingBy(TagEntity::getTagType));

Map<Byte, List<TagEntity>> treeMap = new TreeMap<>(Comparator.reverseOrder());

But how to convert HashMap to TreeMap?

Answer 1

You can create the TreeMap directly by passing a map supplier to groupingBy:

Map<Byte, List<TagEntity>> treeMap = 
    list.stream()
        .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(TagEntity::getTagType,
                                      () -> new TreeMap<Byte, List<TagEntity>>(Comparator.reverseOrder()),
                                      Collectors.toList()));
