Android Question Maps (datatype)

[aidymp]

Hi just a quick question cos I see mixed answers in the forum!

adding things to a map! do they stay in the order you add them? Or they change order???

I am NOT SAVING the map! - just using it

I use php, to make a csv, read the csv into a map, I was hoping to use the .tag feature but a control i am using (coverflow by informatix) seems to not support that...

So was hoping the information was in the same order as it was added?

is it?

Thanks

The order can not be garanteed.
Dont rely on the order. Use the correct KEY instead.

Hmmm! just a point on the above the control (coverflow is not what im loading it into Im loading it into a list) How can I tie them together?

Currently am just doing.

For Each k As String In ImageMap.Values
                BuildsListOfImages.Add(k)
            Next

before I was adding manually, and using Select case (position of list) case 0,1,2 etc! as you can imagine on 40+ images this was a nightmare!

So how can I tie them together? so the key is somehow matched to the value in the list?

Thanks

The order in B4A and B4J is guaranteed to the same as the insertion order. This is not the case in B4i.
