How can I get the values out of a Map and assign them each to their own String?(SOLVED)

edited to simplify:

I have this code:

for (Device device : deviceCollection.getDevices()){ 
				if (device.getProperties()!=null){
					Map<String, String> x = device.getProperties();
					System.out.println(x);	
				}else System.out.println("no coordinates for this device");
			}	

which returns this:

no coordinates for this device
no coordinates for this device
{lng=20, lat=20}
no coordinates for this device

so as you can see my third device is the only one that has coordinates.

Now I need to take those values lng and lat, and assign them each to a String. So

String lng="20";
and
String lat="20"

but I cannot figure out how.

Ive tried things like String lat=x.get(0); but this returns a null value.

So how can I take the two values that are in my Map x, and assign them each to their own String?


solution

I needed to do x.get("lng"), not x.get(lng)

woohoo
