SparseArray<Object> is great a way to avoid autoboxing if you want to use a primitive key. What if you want to use a primitive value? Something like SparseArray<int> (if it existed)?
I want to make an int to an int.

I am not sure what you mean by "make an int to an int". Anyway generic types can't represent primitive types. – Pshemo Aug 20 '15 at 19:48

There is no way to do it. Java does not allow primitive types to be used as type arguments in generic types. You'll have to use the wrapper type Integer.
