create a nested map using hashmap in java to accomplish the nested array but not working -

i want create nested array in php. told not available in java , tell use map , hash map. have tried following accomplish issue

list<webelement> address = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addressxpath)); list<webelement> addressprimarylist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addressprimaryxpath)); list<webelement> addresssecondrylist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addresssecondryxpath)); list<webelement> addresslocationlist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addresslocationxpath));  map<string, string> addresses = new hashmap<string, string>(); map<string, string> addressesparent = new hashmap<string, string>();  int totaladd = address.size(); system.out.println("total addresses " + totaladd); (int = 0; < totaladd; i++) {                                   addressesparent.put("'" + + "'", addresses.put("addressprimary", addressprimarylist.get(i).gettext()));      addressesparent.put("'" + + "'", addresses.put("addresssecondry", addresssecondrylist.get(i).gettext()));      addressesparent.put("'" + + "'", addresses.put("addresslocation", addresslocationlist.get(i).gettext())); }  // addresses.get("addressprimary"); // returns "addressprimary value" system.out.println(addresses.tostring()); system.out.println(addressesparent.tostring()); 

it gives me following results

{addresssecondry=apt b, addresslocation=merrick, ny 11566-3559, addressprimary=1964 stuyvesant ave}  {'0'=null, '1'=merrick, ny 11566-4523} 

but want results thing in php
note: following php code example want similar

 $addresses[0]['primary'] = $primaryaddress;   $addresses[0]['secondy'] = $secondryaddress;   $addresses[0]['location'] = $locationaddress;    $addresses[1]['primary'] = $primaryaddress;   $addresses[1]['secondy'] = $secondryaddress;   $addresses[1]['location'] = $locationaddress;  

i think making wrong approach. should encapsulate data in object , create list (or array) of these objects. like:

public class address {      private string addressprimary, addresssecondry, addresslocation;      public void setaddressprimary(string ap) {         addressprimary = ap;     }      public string getaddressprimary() {         return addressprimary;     }      public void setaddresssecondry(string as) {         addresssecondry = as;     }      public string getaddresssecondry() {         return addresssecondry;     }      public void setaddresslocation(string al) {         addresslocation = al;     }      public string getaddresslocation() {         return addresslocation;     }  } 

merged code like:

list<webelement> address = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addressxpath)); list<webelement> addressprimarylist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addressprimaryxpath)); list<webelement> addresssecondrylist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addresssecondryxpath)); list<webelement> addresslocationlist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addresslocationxpath));  int totaladd = address.size();  system.out.println("total addresses " + totaladd);  list<address> addresses = new arraylist<>();  (int = 0; < totaladd; i++) {     address address = new address();     address.setaddressprimary(addressprimarylist.get(i).gettext());     address.setaddresssecondry(addresssecondrylist.get(i).gettext());     address.setaddresslocation(addresslocationlist.get(i).gettext());     addresses.add(address); } 

you access data following:

addresses.get(0).getaddressprimary(); //        ^      ^ //        |      | //        returns address object //               | //               returns addressprimary property 

you work maps think bad style , wrong approach:

list<webelement> address = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addressxpath)); list<webelement> addressprimarylist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addressprimaryxpath)); list<webelement> addresssecondrylist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addresssecondryxpath)); list<webelement> addresslocationlist = driver.findelements(by.xpath(addresslocationxpath));  int totaladd = address.size();  system.out.println("total addresses " + totaladd);  list<map<string, string> addresses = new arraylist<>();  (int = 0; < totaladd; i++) {     map<string, string> address = new hashmap<>();     address.put("addressprimary", addressprimarylist.get(i).gettext());     address.put("addresssecondry", addresssecondrylist.get(i).gettext());     address.put("addresslocation", addresslocationlist.get(i).gettext());     addresses.add(address); } 

then access data with:

addresses.get(0).get("addressprimary"); 

i don't recommend this.
