Package Summary Overview Summary

class:ActionMap [NONE]

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ActionMapUIResource
```
public class ActionMap
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
ActionMap provides mappings from Objects (called keys or Action names ) to Actions. An ActionMap is usually used with an InputMap to locate a particular action when a key is pressed. As with InputMap, an ActionMap can have a parent that is searched for keys not defined in the ActionMap.
As with InputMap if you create a cycle, eg:
```
   ActionMap am = new ActionMap();
   ActionMap bm = new ActionMap():
   am.setParent(bm);
   bm.setParent(am);
 
```

public void setParent(ActionMap map)
```
Sets this ActionMap's parent.

Parameters:

map - the ActionMap that is the parent of this one

method:getParent() [NONE]

getParent
```
public ActionMap getParent()
```
Returns this ActionMap's parent.

Returns:

the ActionMap that is the parent of this one, or null if this ActionMap has no parent

method:put(java.lang.Object,javax.swing.Action) [NONE]

put
```
public void put(Object key,
                Action action)
```
Adds a binding for key to action. If action is null, this removes the current binding for key.
In most instances, key will be action.getValue(NAME).

Parameters:

key - a key

action - a binding for key

method:get(java.lang.Object) [NONE]

get
```
public Action get(Object key)
```
Returns the binding for key, messaging the parent ActionMap if the binding is not locally defined.

Parameters:

key - a key

Returns:

the binding for key

method:remove(java.lang.Object) [NONE]

```
public void remove(Object key)
```
Removes the binding for key from this ActionMap.

Parameters:

key - a key

```
public void clear()
```
Removes all the mappings from this ActionMap.

method:keys() [NONE]

keys
```
public Object[] keys()
```
Returns the Action names that are bound in this ActionMap.

Returns:

an array of the keys

method:size() [NONE]

size
```
public int size()
```
Returns the number of bindings in this ActionMap.

Returns:

the number of bindings in this ActionMap

method:allKeys() [NONE]

allKeys
```
public Object[] allKeys()
```
Returns an array of the keys defined in this ActionMap and its parent. This method differs from keys() in that this method includes the keys defined in the parent.
