Saving a HashMap

Troubleshooting General Help
1

Most likely a very simple question but how do you save a HashMap with the binaryexporter and importer?



I found "writeStringSavableMap" wich needs a Hashmap<String, Savable> but my hashmap is HashMap<String, Integer> and obvious Integer does not implement Savable.



Surely i dont need to make a savable wrapper for my integer ?



So what is the best way to do this ? Or am i just to blind to see an allready implemented method ?



Thx

You can make your own SavableMap, or write it like this:


out.write(map.size());
for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> ent : map.entrySet()){
      out.write(ent.getKey());
      out.write(ent.getValue().intValue());
}

and out is in this case ? ByteArrayOutputStream ?



and then out is written to the export capsule ?

out is OutputCapsule

Saving it that way will work, but i don't see how you can read this back since you need a name for everything.



So i decided to just save them as a separate String array and a int array.
