How to use Dictionary (like iphone NSDictionary) in android?

Question

I have worked in soap message, and to parse the value from Webservice, the values are stored in ArrayList.

Example: values are Employee name (Siva) and Employee id (3433fd), these two values are stored in arraylist, but I want to stored in Dictionary, How?

Answer 1

you can use HashMap like this

Map <String,String> map =  new HashMap<String,String>();
//add items 
map.put("3433fd","Siva");
//get items 

String employeeName =(String) map.get("3433fd");
