Android Question HashMap and include

[EduardoElias]

I am trying to use:

private static Map convertToMap(HashMap<?, ?> javaMap) {
     Map m = new Map();
     m.Initialize();
     for (Entry<?, ?> e : javaMap.entrySet()) {
       m.Put(e.getKey(), e.getValue());
     }
     return m;
   }

However I am getting

java:721: error: cannot find symbol
Map m = new Map();
^

What is the include that I need?

Already doing this:
import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.*;

 

[Erel]

import anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.collections.*;

 

[EduardoElias]

import anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.collections.*;

I am getting this now:

error: Map is abstract; cannot be instantiated
Map m = new Map();
^

It will be easier to help if you provide more context. Where do you put this code?

Based on the error it treats the Map as java.util.Map.

Where do you put this code?

Based on the sub signature he is using it inside inline java or java i guess

private static Map convertToMap(HashMap<?, ?> javaMap) {
}

thank you, Solved:

import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.*;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.collections.*;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;

public static Map convertToMap(HashMap<String, String> javaMap) {
     Map m = new Map();
     m.Initialize();
     for (HashMap.Entry<String, String> e : javaMap.entrySet()) {
       m.Put(e.getKey(), e.getValue());
     }
     return m;
}
