IdentityHashMap.clone() has the following syntax.
public Object clone()
In the following code shows how to use IdentityHashMap.clone() method.
/* w ww. j a v a 2 s. c o m*/ import java.util.IdentityHashMap; import java.util.Map; public class Main { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { IdentityHashMap<Object, Object> objMap = new IdentityHashMap<Object, Object>(); Object o1 = new Integer(123); Object o2 = new Integer(123); objMap.put(o1, "first"); objMap.put(o2, "from java2s.com"); Object v1 = objMap.get(o1); System.out.println(v1); Object v2 = objMap.get(o2); System.out.println(v2); // clone the map IdentityHashMap ihmapclone=(IdentityHashMap)objMap.clone(); System.out.println("Cloned map content: " + ihmapclone); } }
The code above generates the following result.
