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

恐怕你只能重复你的地图了。我能想到的最简短的:

Iterator<Map.Entry<String,String>> iter = map.entrySet().iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
    Map.Entry<String,String> entry = iter.next();
    if (entry.getValue().equals(value_you_look_for)) {
        String key_you_look_for = entry.getKey();
    }
}

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;

public class M{
public static void main(String[] args) {

        HashMap<String, List<String>> resultHashMap = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();

        Set<String> newKeyList = resultHashMap.keySet();


        for (Iterator<String> iterator = originalHashMap.keySet().iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
            String hashKey = (String) iterator.next();

            if (!newKeyList.contains(originalHashMap.get(hashKey))) {
                List<String> loArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
                loArrayList.add(hashKey);
                resultHashMap.put(originalHashMap.get(hashKey), loArrayList);
            } else {
                List<String> loArrayList = resultHashMap.get(originalHashMap
                        .get(hashKey));
                loArrayList.add(hashKey);
                resultHashMap.put(originalHashMap.get(hashKey), loArrayList);
            }
        }

        System.out.println("Original HashMap : " + originalHashMap);
        System.out.println("Result HashMap : " + resultHashMap);
    }
}

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。

我认为你的选择是

Use a map implementation built for this, like the BiMap from google collections. Note that the google collections BiMap requires uniqueless of values, as well as keys, but it provides high performance in both directions performance Manually maintain two maps - one for key -> value, and another map for value -> key Iterate through the entrySet() and to find the keys which match the value. This is the slowest method, since it requires iterating through the entire collection, while the other two methods don't require that.

for(int key: hm.keySet()) {
    if(hm.get(key).equals(value)) {
        System.out.println(key); 
    }
}
