Class ObjectArrayListIterator

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.collections.iterators.ObjectArrayIterator

org.apache.commons.collections.iterators.ObjectArrayListIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Iterator, java.util.ListIterator, ResettableIterator, ResettableListIterator

public class ObjectArrayListIterator
extends ObjectArrayIterator
implements java.util.ListIterator, ResettableListIterator

Implements a ListIterator over an array of objects.

This iterator does not support add(java.lang.Object) or ObjectArrayIterator.remove(), as the object array cannot be structurally modified. The set(java.lang.Object) method is supported however.

The iterator implements a reset() method, allowing the reset of the iterator back to the start if required.

Since:

Commons Collections 3.0

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor and Description
ObjectArrayListIterator() Constructor for use with setArray.
ObjectArrayListIterator(java.lang.Object[] array) Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.
ObjectArrayListIterator(java.lang.Object[] array, int start) Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.
ObjectArrayListIterator(java.lang.Object[] array, int start, int end) Construct an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	add(java.lang.Object obj) This iterator does not support modification of its backing array's size, and so will always throw an UnsupportedOperationException when this method is invoked.
boolean	hasPrevious() Returns true if there are previous elements to return from the array.
java.lang.Object	next() Gets the next element from the array.
int	nextIndex() Gets the next index to be retrieved.
java.lang.Object	previous() Gets the previous element from the array.
int	previousIndex() Gets the index of the item to be retrieved if previous() is called.
void	reset() Resets the iterator back to the start index.
void	set(java.lang.Object obj) Sets the element under the cursor.

Constructor Detail

ObjectArrayListIterator

public ObjectArrayListIterator()

Constructor for use with setArray.

Using this constructor, the iterator is equivalent to an empty iterator until ObjectArrayIterator.setArray(java.lang.Object[]) is called to establish the array to iterate over.

ObjectArrayListIterator

public ObjectArrayListIterator(java.lang.Object[] array)

Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.

Parameters:

array - the array to iterate over

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if array is null

ObjectArrayListIterator

public ObjectArrayListIterator(java.lang.Object[] array,
                               int start)

Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.

Parameters:

array - the array to iterate over

start - the index to start iterating at

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if array is null

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the start index is out of bounds

ObjectArrayListIterator

public ObjectArrayListIterator(java.lang.Object[] array,
                               int start,
                               int end)

Construct an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.

Parameters:

array - the array to iterate over

start - the index to start iterating at

end - the index (exclusive) to finish iterating at

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the start or end index is out of bounds

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if end index is before the start

java.lang.NullPointerException - if array is null

Method Detail

hasPrevious

public boolean hasPrevious()

Returns true if there are previous elements to return from the array.

Specified by:

hasPrevious in interface java.util.ListIterator

Returns:

true if there is a previous element to return

previous

public java.lang.Object previous()

Gets the previous element from the array.

Specified by:

previous in interface java.util.ListIterator

Returns:

the previous element

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there is no previous element

next

public java.lang.Object next()

Gets the next element from the array.

Specified by:

next in interface java.util.Iterator

Specified by:

next in interface java.util.ListIterator

Overrides:

next in class ObjectArrayIterator

Returns:

the next element

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there is no next element

nextIndex

public int nextIndex()

Gets the next index to be retrieved.

Specified by:

nextIndex in interface java.util.ListIterator

Returns:

the index of the item to be retrieved next

previousIndex

public int previousIndex()

Gets the index of the item to be retrieved if previous() is called.

Specified by:

previousIndex in interface java.util.ListIterator

Returns:

the index of the item to be retrieved next

add

public void add(java.lang.Object obj)

This iterator does not support modification of its backing array's size, and so will always throw an UnsupportedOperationException when this method is invoked.

Specified by:

add in interface java.util.ListIterator

Parameters:

obj - the object to add

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - always thrown.

set

public void set(java.lang.Object obj)

Sets the element under the cursor.

This method sets the element that was returned by the last call to next() of previous(). Note: ListIterator implementations that support add() and remove() only allow set() to be called once per call to next() or previous (see the ListIterator javadoc for more details). Since this implementation does not support add() or remove(), set() may be called as often as desired.

Specified by:

set in interface java.util.ListIterator

Parameters:

obj - the object to set into the array

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if next() has not yet been called.

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the object type is unsuitable for the array

reset

public void reset()

Resets the iterator back to the start index.

Specified by:

reset in interface ResettableIterator

Specified by:

reset in interface ResettableListIterator

Overrides:

reset in class ObjectArrayIterator
