使用薄包装:HMap

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class HMap<K, V> {

   private final Map<K, Map<K, V>> map;

   public HMap() {
      map = new HashMap<K, Map<K, V>>();
   }

   public HMap(final int initialCapacity) {
      map = new HashMap<K, Map<K, V>>(initialCapacity);
   }

   public boolean containsKey(final Object key) {
      return map.containsKey(key);
   }

   public V get(final Object key) {
      final Map<K, V> entry = map.get(key);
      if (entry != null)
         return entry.values().iterator().next();
      return null;
   }

   public K getKey(final Object key) {
      final Map<K, V> entry = map.get(key);
      if (entry != null)
         return entry.keySet().iterator().next();
      return null;
   }

   public V put(final K key, final V value) {
      final Map<K, V> entry = map
            .put(key, Collections.singletonMap(key, value));
      if (entry != null)
         return entry.values().iterator().next();
      return null;
   }
}

如果你的数据结构在键和值之间有多对一映射，你应该遍历条目并选择所有合适的键:

public static <T, E> Set<T> getKeysByValue(Map<T, E> map, E value) {
    Set<T> keys = new HashSet<T>();
    for (Entry<T, E> entry : map.entrySet()) {
        if (Objects.equals(value, entry.getValue())) {
            keys.add(entry.getKey());
        }
    }
    return keys;
}

如果是一对一的关系，你可以返回第一个匹配的键:

public static <T, E> T getKeyByValue(Map<T, E> map, E value) {
    for (Entry<T, E> entry : map.entrySet()) {
        if (Objects.equals(value, entry.getValue())) {
            return entry.getKey();
        }
    }
    return null;
}

在Java 8中:

public static <T, E> Set<T> getKeysByValue(Map<T, E> map, E value) {
    return map.entrySet()
              .stream()
              .filter(entry -> Objects.equals(entry.getValue(), value))
              .map(Map.Entry::getKey)
              .collect(Collectors.toSet());
}

此外，对于番石榴用户来说，BiMap可能也很有用。例如:

BiMap<Token, Character> tokenToChar = 
    ImmutableBiMap.of(Token.LEFT_BRACKET, '[', Token.LEFT_PARENTHESIS, '(');
Token token = tokenToChar.inverse().get('(');
Character c = tokenToChar.get(token);

如果你在自己的代码中构建映射，尝试将map中的键和值放在一起:

public class KeyValue {
    public Object key;
    public Object value;
    public KeyValue(Object key, Object value) { ... }
}

map.put(key, new KeyValue(key, value));

当你有了一个值，你也就有了键。

据我所知，当你将HashMap的键和值表示为数组时，它们是不混合的:

hashmap.values().toArray()

and

hashmap.keySet().toArray()

所以下面的代码(从java 8开始)应该像预期的那样工作:

public Object getKeyByFirstValue(Object value) {
    int keyNumber =  Arrays.asList(hashmap.values().toArray()).indexOf(value);
    return hashmap.keySet().toArray()[keyNumber];
}

然而，(警告!)它的工作速度比迭代慢2-3倍。

让我们看看我的例子

Map<String, String> mapPeopleAndCountry = new HashMap<>();
mapPeopleAndCountry.put("Matis", "Lithuania");
mapPeopleAndCountry.put("Carlos", "Honduras");
mapPeopleAndCountry.put("Teboho", "Lesotho");
mapPeopleAndCountry.put("Marielos", "Honduras");


List<String> peopleInHonduras = mapPeopleAndCountry.keySet()
    .stream()
    .filter(r -> mapPeopleAndCountry.get(r)
                .equals("Honduras"))
    .stream(Collectors.toList());

// will return ["Carlos", "Marielos"]

注:未经测试，可能含有错别字

用你自己的实现来装饰地图

class MyMap<K,V> extends HashMap<K, V>{

    Map<V,K> reverseMap = new HashMap<V,K>();

    @Override
    public V put(K key, V value) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        reverseMap.put(value, key);
        return super.put(key, value);
    }

    public K getKey(V value){
        return reverseMap.get(value);
    }
}
