How to for each the hashmap? [duplicate]

I have this field:

HashMap<String, HashMap> selects = new HashMap<String, HashMap>();

For each Hash<String, HashMap> I need to create a ComboBox, whose items are the value (which happens to be a HashMap itself) of HashMap <String, **HashMap**>.

By way of (non-functioning) demonstration:

for (int i=0; i < selects.size(); i++) {
    HashMap h = selects[i].getValue();
    ComboBox cb = new ComboBox();

    for (int y=0; y < h.size(); i++) {
        cb.items.add(h[y].getValue);
    }
}

I know I'm a bit late for that one, but I'll share what I did too, in case it helps someone else :

HashMap<String, HashMap> selects = new HashMap<String, HashMap>();

for(Map.Entry<String, HashMap> entry : selects.entrySet()) {
    String key = entry.getKey();
    HashMap value = entry.getValue();

    // do what you have to do here
    // In your case, another loop.
}

Lambda Expression Java 8

In Java 1.8 (Java 8) this has become lot easier by using forEach method from Aggregate operations(Stream operations) that looks similar to iterators from Iterable Interface.

Just copy paste below statement to your code and rename the HashMap variable from hm to your HashMap variable to print out key-value pair.

HashMap<Integer,Integer> hm = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
/*
 *     Logic to put the Key,Value pair in your HashMap hm
 */

// Print the key value pair in one line.
hm.forEach((k,v) -> System.out.println("key: "+k+" value:"+v));

Here is an example where a Lambda Expression is used:

    HashMap<Integer,Integer> hm = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
    Random rand = new Random(47);
    int i=0;
    while(i<5){
        i++;
        int key = rand.nextInt(20);
        int value = rand.nextInt(50);
        System.out.println("Inserting key: "+key+" Value: "+value);
        Integer imap =hm.put(key,value);
        if( imap == null){
            System.out.println("Inserted");
        }
        else{
            System.out.println("Replaced with "+imap);
        }               
    }

    hm.forEach((k,v) -> System.out.println("key: "+k+" value:"+v));

Output:

Inserting key: 18 Value: 5
Inserted
Inserting key: 13 Value: 11
Inserted
Inserting key: 1 Value: 29
Inserted
Inserting key: 8 Value: 0
Inserted
Inserting key: 2 Value: 7
Inserted
key: 1 value:29
key: 18 value:5
key: 2 value:7
key: 8 value:0
key: 13 value:11

Also one can use Spliterator for the same.

Spliterator sit = hm.entrySet().spliterator();

UPDATE

Including documentation links to Oracle Docs. For more on Lambda go to this link and must read Aggregate Operations and for Spliterator go to this link.

Map.values():

HashMap<String, HashMap<SomeInnerKeyType, String>> selects =
    new HashMap<String, HashMap<SomeInnerKeyType, String>>();

...

for(HashMap<SomeInnerKeyType, String> h : selects.values())
{
   ComboBox cb = new ComboBox();
   for(String s : h.values())
   {
      cb.items.add(s);
   }
}
