java.util.AbstractList

AbstractList
abstract public class AbstractList extends AbstractCollection implements List<E>(Code)
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the List interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface backed by a "random access" data store (such as an array). For sequential access data (such as a linked list), AbstractSequentialList should be used in preference to this class.

To implement an unmodifiable list, the programmer needs only to extend this class and provide implementations for the AbstractList.get(int) and List.size size() methods.

To implement a modifiable list, the programmer must additionally override the AbstractList.set(int,Object) set(int, E) method (which otherwise throws an UnsupportedOperationException ). If the list is variable-size the programmer must additionally override the AbstractList.add(int,Object) add(int, E) and AbstractList.remove(int) methods.

The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and collection constructor, as per the recommendation in the Collection interface specification.

Unlike the other abstract collection implementations, the programmer does not have to provide an iterator implementation; the iterator and list iterator are implemented by this class, on top of the "random access" methods: AbstractList.get(int) , AbstractList.set(int,Object) set(int, E) , AbstractList.add(int,Object) add(int, E) and AbstractList.remove(int) .

The documentation for each non-abstract method in this class describes its implementation in detail. Each of these methods may be overridden if the collection being implemented admits a more efficient implementation.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Field Summary
protected transient  intmodCount
     The number of times this list has been structurally modified. Structural modifications are those that change the size of the list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.

This field is used by the iterator and list iterator implementation returned by the iterator and listIterator methods. If the value of this field changes unexpectedly, the iterator (or list iterator) will throw a ConcurrentModificationException in response to the next , remove , previous , set or add operations.


Constructor Summary
protected  AbstractList()
     Sole constructor.

Method Summary
public  booleanadd(E e)
     Appends the specified element to the end of this list (optional operation).

Lists that support this operation may place limitations on what elements may be added to this list.

public  voidadd(int index, E element)
    

This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException .

public  booleanaddAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c)
    

This implementation gets an iterator over the specified collection and iterates over it, inserting the elements obtained from the iterator into this list at the appropriate position, one at a time, using add(int, E) .

public  voidclear()
     Removes all of the elements from this list (optional operation).
public  booleanequals(Object o)
     Compares the specified object with this list for equality.
abstract public  Eget(int index)
    
public  inthashCode()
     Returns the hash code value for this list.
public  intindexOf(Object o)
    

This implementation first gets a list iterator (with listIterator() ).

public  Iterator<E>iterator()
     Returns an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence.
public  intlastIndexOf(Object o)
    

This implementation first gets a list iterator that points to the end of the list (with listIterator(size()) ).

public  ListIterator<E>listIterator()
    

This implementation returns listIterator(0) .

public  ListIterator<E>listIterator(int index)
    

This implementation returns a straightforward implementation of the ListIterator interface that extends the implementation of the Iterator interface returned by the iterator() method.

This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException .

protected  voidremoveRange(int fromIndex, int toIndex)
     Removes from this list all of the elements whose index is between fromIndex , inclusive, and toIndex , exclusive. Shifts any succeeding elements to the left (reduces their index). This call shortens the list by (toIndex - fromIndex) elements. (If toIndex==fromIndex , this operation has no effect.)

This method is called by the clear operation on this list and its subLists.

public  Eset(int index, E element)
    

This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException .

public  List<E>subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex)
    

This implementation returns a list that subclasses AbstractList .


Field Detail
modCount
protected transient int modCount(Code)
The number of times this list has been structurally modified. Structural modifications are those that change the size of the list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.

This field is used by the iterator and list iterator implementation returned by the iterator and listIterator methods. If the value of this field changes unexpectedly, the iterator (or list iterator) will throw a ConcurrentModificationException in response to the next , remove , previous , set or add operations. This provides fail-fast behavior, rather than non-deterministic behavior in the face of concurrent modification during iteration.

Use of this field by subclasses is optional. If a subclass wishes to provide fail-fast iterators (and list iterators), then it merely has to increment this field in its add(int, E) and remove(int) methods (and any other methods that it overrides that result in structural modifications to the list). A single call to add(int, E) or remove(int) must add no more than one to this field, or the iterators (and list iterators) will throw bogus ConcurrentModificationExceptions . If an implementation does not wish to provide fail-fast iterators, this field may be ignored.





Constructor Detail
AbstractList
protected AbstractList()(Code)
Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)




Method Detail
add
public boolean add(E e)(Code)
Appends the specified element to the end of this list (optional operation).

Lists that support this operation may place limitations on what elements may be added to this list. In particular, some lists will refuse to add null elements, and others will impose restrictions on the type of elements that may be added. List classes should clearly specify in their documentation any restrictions on what elements may be added.

This implementation calls add(size(), e) .

Note that this implementation throws an UnsupportedOperationException unless AbstractList.add(int,Object) add(int, E) is overridden.
Parameters:
  e - element to be appended to this list true (as specified by Collection.add)
throws:
  UnsupportedOperationException - if the add operationis not supported by this list
throws:
  ClassCastException - if the class of the specified elementprevents it from being added to this list
throws:
  NullPointerException - if the specified element is null and thislist does not permit null elements
throws:
  IllegalArgumentException - if some property of this elementprevents it from being added to this list




add
public void add(int index, E element)(Code)

This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException .
throws:
  UnsupportedOperationException -
throws:
  ClassCastException -
throws:
  NullPointerException -
throws:
  IllegalArgumentException -
throws:
  IndexOutOfBoundsException -




addAll
public boolean addAll(int index, Collection<? extends E> c)(Code)

This implementation gets an iterator over the specified collection and iterates over it, inserting the elements obtained from the iterator into this list at the appropriate position, one at a time, using add(int, E) . Many implementations will override this method for efficiency.

Note that this implementation throws an UnsupportedOperationException unless AbstractList.add(int,Object) add(int, E) is overridden.
throws:
  UnsupportedOperationException -
throws:
  ClassCastException -
throws:
  NullPointerException -
throws:
  IllegalArgumentException -
throws:
  IndexOutOfBoundsException -




clear
public void clear()(Code)
Removes all of the elements from this list (optional operation). The list will be empty after this call returns.

This implementation calls removeRange(0, size()) .

Note that this implementation throws an UnsupportedOperationException unless remove(int index) or removeRange(int fromIndex, int toIndex) is overridden.
throws:
  UnsupportedOperationException - if the clear operationis not supported by this list




equals
public boolean equals(Object o)(Code)
Compares the specified object with this list for equality. Returns true if and only if the specified object is also a list, both lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two lists are equal. (Two elements e1 and e2 are equal if (e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2)) .) In other words, two lists are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements in the same order.

This implementation first checks if the specified object is this list. If so, it returns true ; if not, it checks if the specified object is a list. If not, it returns false ; if so, it iterates over both lists, comparing corresponding pairs of elements. If any comparison returns false , this method returns false . If either iterator runs out of elements before the other it returns false (as the lists are of unequal length); otherwise it returns true when the iterations complete.
Parameters:
  o - the object to be compared for equality with this list true if the specified object is equal to this list




get
abstract public E get(int index)(Code)

throws:
  IndexOutOfBoundsException -



hashCode
public int hashCode()(Code)
Returns the hash code value for this list.

This implementation uses exactly the code that is used to define the list hash function in the documentation for the List.hashCode method. the hash code value for this list




indexOf
public int indexOf(Object o)(Code)

This implementation first gets a list iterator (with listIterator() ). Then, it iterates over the list until the specified element is found or the end of the list is reached.
throws:
  ClassCastException -
throws:
  NullPointerException -




iterator
public Iterator<E> iterator()(Code)
Returns an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence.

This implementation returns a straightforward implementation of the iterator interface, relying on the backing list's size() , get(int) , and remove(int) methods.

Note that the iterator returned by this method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException in response to its remove method unless the list's remove(int) method is overridden.

This implementation can be made to throw runtime exceptions in the face of concurrent modification, as described in the specification for the (protected) AbstractList.modCount field. an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence




lastIndexOf
public int lastIndexOf(Object o)(Code)

This implementation first gets a list iterator that points to the end of the list (with listIterator(size()) ). Then, it iterates backwards over the list until the specified element is found, or the beginning of the list is reached.
throws:
  ClassCastException -
throws:
  NullPointerException -




listIterator
public ListIterator<E> listIterator()(Code)

This implementation returns listIterator(0) .
See Also:   AbstractList.listIterator(int)




listIterator
public ListIterator<E> listIterator(int index)(Code)

This implementation returns a straightforward implementation of the ListIterator interface that extends the implementation of the Iterator interface returned by the iterator() method. The ListIterator implementation relies on the backing list's get(int) , set(int, E) , add(int, E) and remove(int) methods.

Note that the list iterator returned by this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException in response to its remove , set and add methods unless the list's remove(int) , set(int, E) , and add(int, E) methods are overridden.

This implementation can be made to throw runtime exceptions in the face of concurrent modification, as described in the specification for the (protected) AbstractList.modCount field.
throws:
  IndexOutOfBoundsException -




remove
public E remove(int index)(Code)

This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException .
throws:
  UnsupportedOperationException -
throws:
  IndexOutOfBoundsException -




removeRange
protected void removeRange(int fromIndex, int toIndex)(Code)
Removes from this list all of the elements whose index is between fromIndex , inclusive, and toIndex , exclusive. Shifts any succeeding elements to the left (reduces their index). This call shortens the list by (toIndex - fromIndex) elements. (If toIndex==fromIndex , this operation has no effect.)

This method is called by the clear operation on this list and its subLists. Overriding this method to take advantage of the internals of the list implementation can substantially improve the performance of the clear operation on this list and its subLists.

This implementation gets a list iterator positioned before fromIndex , and repeatedly calls ListIterator.next followed by ListIterator.remove until the entire range has been removed. Note: if ListIterator.remove requires linear time, this implementation requires quadratic time.
Parameters:
  fromIndex - index of first element to be removed
Parameters:
  toIndex - index after last element to be removed




set
public E set(int index, E element)(Code)

This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException .
throws:
  UnsupportedOperationException -
throws:
  ClassCastException -
throws:
  NullPointerException -
throws:
  IllegalArgumentException -
throws:
  IndexOutOfBoundsException -




subList
public List<E> subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex)(Code)

This implementation returns a list that subclasses AbstractList . The subclass stores, in private fields, the offset of the subList within the backing list, the size of the subList (which can change over its lifetime), and the expected modCount value of the backing list. There are two variants of the subclass, one of which implements RandomAccess . If this list implements RandomAccess the returned list will be an instance of the subclass that implements RandomAccess .

The subclass's set(int, E) , get(int) , add(int, E) , remove(int) , addAll(int, Collection) and removeRange(int, int) methods all delegate to the corresponding methods on the backing abstract list, after bounds-checking the index and adjusting for the offset. The addAll(Collection c) method merely returns addAll(size, c) .

The listIterator(int) method returns a "wrapper object" over a list iterator on the backing list, which is created with the corresponding method on the backing list. The iterator method merely returns listIterator() , and the size method merely returns the subclass's size field.

All methods first check to see if the actual modCount of the backing list is equal to its expected value, and throw a ConcurrentModificationException if it is not.
throws:
  IndexOutOfBoundsException - if an endpoint index value is out of range (fromIndex < 0 || toIndex > size)
throws:
  IllegalArgumentException - if the endpoint indices are out of order (fromIndex > toIndex)
