can you please elaborate?<br />

HashMap as any Java object can be made static and then you could address it by refereinng to the class name rather than the instance of the class where it is a field<br />
So if you declare it like that:<br />
class ClassName {<br />
public static HashMap&lt;Integer, String&gt; map;<br />
...<br />
<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
Thane in any other class of your applucation you can address it like that:<br />
<br />
ClassName.map.get(key)<br />
<br />
thsi is no different form any other static object

static maps

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
