Java 8 – Convert Map to List

A Java 8 example to convert a Map to a List

ConvertMapToList.java

package com.mkyong.example;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class ConvertMapToList {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put(10, "apple");
        map.put(20, "orange");
        map.put(30, "banana");
        map.put(40, "watermelon");
        map.put(50, "dragonfruit");

        System.out.println("\n1. Export Map Key to List...");

        List<Integer> result = map.entrySet().stream()
                .map(x -> x.getKey())
                .collect(Collectors.toList());

        result.forEach(System.out::println);

        System.out.println("\n2. Export Map Value to List...");

        List<String> result2 = map.entrySet().stream()
                .map(x -> x.getValue())
                .collect(Collectors.toList());

        result2.forEach(System.out::println);


    }

}

Output

1. Export Map Key to List...
50
20
40
10
30

2. Export Map Value to List...
dragonfruit
orange
watermelon
apple
banana
