I have 2 different instances of HashMap
I want to merge the keysets of both HashMaps;
Code:
Set<String> mySet = hashMap1.keySet();
mySet.addAll(hashMap2.keySet());
Exception:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at java.util.AbstractCollection.add(AbstractCollection.java:238)
at java.util.AbstractCollection.addAll(AbstractCollection.java:322)
I don't get a compile warning or error.
From java doc this should work. Even if the added collection is also a set:
boolean addAll(Collection c)
Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this set if they're not already present (optional operation). If the specified collection is also a set, the addAll operation effectively modifies this set so that its value is the union of the two sets. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.
