Class KeyList<E>

Type Parameters:
E - type of elements stored in the list
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, List<E>, RandomAccess, SequencedCollection<E>, ICollection<E>, IListable<E>
Direct Known Subclasses:
KeyList.ImmutableKeyList

public class KeyList<E> extends KeyListImpl<E>
KeyList implements a list. It can provide fast access to its elements like a Set. The elements allowed in the list can be constraint (null/duplicate values).

    • getBuilder

      protected KeyList.Builder<E> getBuilder()
      Returns:
      builder to use in extending classes
    • copy

      public KeyList<E> copy()
      Description copied from class: IList
      Returns a shallow copy of this list. The new list will contain the same elements as the source list, i.e. the elements themselves are not copied. The capacity of the list will be set to the number of elements, i.e. size and capacity are equal. This returned list will be modifiable, i.e. a read-only list will be copied and be modifiable again.
      Specified by:
      copy in interface ICollection<E>
      Specified by:
      copy in class IList<E>
      Returns:
      a modifiable copy of this list
    • clone

      public KeyList<E> clone()
      Description copied from class: IList
      Returns a shallow copy of this list. The new list will contain the same elements as the source list, i.e. the elements themselves are not copied. The capacity of the list will be set to the number of elements, i.e. size and capacity are equal. If the list is read-only, the same list is returned without change. Use IList.copy() to .
      Overrides:
      clone in class KeyListImpl<E>
      Returns:
      a modifiable copy of this list
    • crop

      public KeyList<E> crop()
      Description copied from class: KeyListImpl
      Returns a copy this list but without elements. The new list will have the same type as this list and use the same comparator, ordering, etc.
      Specified by:
      crop in interface ICollection<E>
      Overrides:
      crop in class KeyListImpl<E>
      Returns:
      an empty copy of this list
    • getAll

      public IList<E> getAll(E elem)
      Description copied from class: IList
      Returns all elements in the list equal to the specified element.
      Overrides:
      getAll in class KeyListImpl<E>
      Parameters:
      elem - element to look for
      Returns:
      all elements in the list equal to the specified element
    • count

      public int count(E elem)
      Description copied from class: IList
      Counts how many times the specified element is contained in the list.
      Overrides:
      count in class KeyListImpl<E>
      Parameters:
      elem - element to count
      Returns:
      count how many times the specified element is contained in the list
    • removeAll

      public IList<E> removeAll(E elem)
      Description copied from class: IList
      Removes all equal elements.
      Overrides:
      removeAll in class KeyListImpl<E>
      Parameters:
      elem - element
      Returns:
      removed equal elements (never null)
    • getDistinct

      public Set<E> getDistinct()
      Description copied from class: IList
      Returns distinct elements in the list.
      Overrides:
      getDistinct in class KeyListImpl<E>
      Returns:
      distinct elements in the list
    • put

      public E put(E elem)
      Description copied from class: KeyListImpl
      Adds or replaces element. If there is no such element, the element is added. If there is such an element, the element is replaced. So said simply, it is a shortcut for the following code:
       if (contains(elem)) {
         remove(elem);
       }
       add(elem);
       
      However the method is atomic in the sense that all or none operations are executed. So if there is already such an element, but adding the new one fails due to a constraint violation, the old element remains in the list.
      Overrides:
      put in class KeyListImpl<E>
      Parameters:
      elem - element
      Returns:
      element which has been replaced or null otherwise
    • isReadOnly

      public boolean isReadOnly()
      Description copied from class: IList
      Returns true if this list is either unmodifiable or immutable, false otherwise.
      Specified by:
      isReadOnly in class IList<E>
    • unmodifiableList

      public KeyList<E> unmodifiableList()
      Description copied from class: IList
      Returns an unmodifiable view of this list. This method allows modules to provide users with "read-only" access to internal lists, where changes made to the original list are visible as query operations on the returned list "read through" to the specified list. Attempts to modify the returned list, whether direct or via its iterator, result in an UnsupportedOperationException. If this list is already unmodifiable, it is returned unchanged. See IList.immutableList() to get an immutable copy of a list.
      Specified by:
      unmodifiableList in class IList<E>
      Returns:
      an unmodifiable view of the specified list
    • immutableList

      public KeyList<E> immutableList()
      Description copied from class: IList
      Returns an immutable copy of this list. The returned list is independent from the original list, i.e. changes done later are not seen. Attempts to modify the returned list, whether direct or via its iterator, result in an UnsupportedOperationException. If this list is already immutable, it is returned unchanged. See IList.unmodifiableList() to get unmodifiable view of a list.
      Specified by:
      immutableList in class IList<E>
      Returns:
      an immutable copy of the specified list
