如何在Guava的Multimap（使用asMap（））中使用NavigableMap功能？

Question

Let's assume i have something like this:

Multimap<Integer, Integer> data = TreeMultimap.create();

How can i use .headMap() on my data? I suppose, that TreeMultimap.asMap() is the way to go.

The documentation ( link ) says, that TreeMap.asMap() returns NavigableMap<K,Collection<V>> , but i'm not able to get that to work.

NavigableMap<Integer, ArrayList<Integer>> test = data.asMap(); // type mismatch
SortedMap<Integer, ArrayList<Integer>> test = data.asMap(); // type mismatch

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks!

PS: I'm using guava 16

The type of data is Multimap , not TreeMultimap . Also, a NavigableMap<Integer, Collection<Integer>> , is not compatible with NavigableMap<Integer, ArrayList<Integer>> .

Change your code to:

TreeMultimap<Integer, Integer> data = TreeMultimap.create();
NavigableMap<Integer, Collection<Integer>> test = data.asMap();
