java hashmap key iteration

Yes, you do this by getting the entrySet() of the map. For example:

Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();

// ...

for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : map.entrySet()) {
    System.out.println("key=" + entry.getKey() + ", value=" + entry.getValue());
}

(Ofcourse, replace String and Object with the types that your particular Map has - the code above is just an example).

public class abcd {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
       Map<Integer, String> testMap = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
        testMap.put(10, "a");
        testMap.put(20, "b");
        testMap.put(30, "c");
        testMap.put(40, "d");
        for (Entry<Integer, String> entry : testMap.entrySet()) {
            Integer key=entry.getKey();
            String value=entry.getValue();
        }
    }
}

for (Map.Entry<T,U> e : map.entrySet())
{
    T key = e.getKey();
    U value = e.getValue();
    .
    .
    .
}

In addition, if you use a LinkedHashMap as the implementation, you'll iterate in the order the key/value pairs were inserted. If that's not important, use a HashMap.

hashmap.keySet().iterator()

use a for loop to iterate it.

then use hashmap.get(item) to get individual values,

Alternatively just use entrySet() for getting an iterator for values.

Keep it simple, please:

HashMap<String,String> HeyHoLetsGo = new HashMap();

HeyHoLetsGo.put("I", "wanna be your dog");
HeyHoLetsGo.put("Sheena", "is a punk rocker");
HeyHoLetsGo.put("Rudie", "can't fail");

for ( String theKey : HeyHoLetsGo.keySet() ){
    System.out.println(theKey + " "+HeyHoLetsGo.get(theKey));
}

Java 8 added Map.forEach which you can use like this:

map.forEach((k, v) -> System.out.println("key=" + k + " value=" + v));

There's also replaceAll if you want to update the values:

map.replaceAll((k, v) -> {
    int newValue = v + 1;
    System.out.println("key=" + k + " value=" + v + " new value=" + newValue);
    return newValue;
});
