Is there anything like NSDictionary in android?

Viewed 6555

I'm new to Android. I did search around but couldn't find anything work like NSdictionary of iOS in Android. For example in iOS I can create SIMPLE array of dictionary like this format

Array
   idx1: [objA1 for keyA],[objB1 for keyB],[objB1 for keyC]
   idx2: [objA2 for keyA],[objB2 for keyB],[objB2 for keyC]
   idx3: [objA3 for keyA],[objB3 for keyB],[objB3 for keyC]

I know I can create string-array that work similar like that in android

<string-array name="list_obj1">
    <item>ObjA1</item>
    <item>ObjB2</item>
    <item>ObjC3</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="list_obj2">
    <item>ObjB1</item>
    <item>ObjB2</item>
    <item>ObjB3</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="list_obj3">
    <item>ObjC1</item>
    <item>ObjC2</item>
    <item>ObjC3</item>
</string-array>

My question is if there is anything else used to create AN array of dictionary in Android like iOS.

Thank you for your help.
