  • Field Details

    • modCount

      protected transient int modCount
      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, Object) 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, Object) 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.

      This method is identical in functionality to the set method (which is part of the List interface). Note that the set method reverses the order of the parameters, to more closely match array usage. Note also that the set method returns the old value that was stored at the specified position.

      Parameters:
      obj - what the component is to be set to.
      index - the specified index.
      Throws:
      ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index was invalid.

      The index must be a value greater than or equal to 0 and less than the current size of the List.

      This method is identical in functionality to the remove method (which is part of the List interface). Note that the remove method returns the old value that was stored at the specified position.

      Parameters:
      index - the index of the object to remove.
      Throws:
      ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index was invalid.
      See Also:

    • insertElementAt

      public void insertElementAt(Object obj, int index)
      Inserts the specified object as a component in this List at the specified index. Each component in this List with an index greater or equal to the specified index is shifted upward to have an index one greater than the value it had previously.

      The index must be a value greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the current size of the List. (If the index is equal to the current size of the List, the new element is appended to the List.)

      This method is identical in functionality to the add(Object, int) method (which is part of the List interface). Note that the add method reverses the order of the parameters, to more closely match array usage.

      Parameters:
      obj - the component to insert.
      index - where to insert the new component.
      Throws:
      ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index was invalid.

    • iterator

      public Iterator iterator()
      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) modCount field.

      Specified by:
      iterator in interface Collection

    • listIterator

      public ListIterator listIterator()
      Returns an iterator of the elements in this list (in proper sequence). This implementation returns listIterator(0).
      Specified by:
      listIterator in interface List

    • listIterator

      public ListIterator listIterator(int index)
      Returns a list iterator of the elements in this list (in proper sequence), starting at the specified position in the list. The specified index indicates the first element that would be returned by an initial call to the next method. An initial call to the previous method would return the element with the specified index minus one.

      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, Object), add(int, Object) 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, Object), and add(int, Object) 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) modCount field.

      the index of the last occurrence of the specified object in this List, that is, the largest value k such that elem.equals(elementData[k]) is true; returns -1 if the object is not found.

    • lastIndexOf

      public int lastIndexOf(Object elem, int index)
      Searches backwards for the specified object, starting from the specified index, and returns an index to it.
      Parameters:
      elem - the desired component.
      index - the index to start searching from.
      Returns:
      the index of the last occurrence of the specified object in this List at position less than or equal to index in the List, that is, the largest value k such that elem.equals(elementData[k]) && (k <= index) is true; -1 if the object is not found. (Returns -1 if index is negative.)

    • subList

      public List<CMetadata> subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex)
      Returns a view of the portion of this List between fromIndex, inclusive, and toIndex, exclusive. (If fromIndex and ToIndex are equal, the returned List is empty.) The returned List is backed by this List, so changes in the returned List are reflected in this List, and vice-versa. The returned List supports all of the optional List operations supported by this List.

      This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of the sort that commonly exist for arrays). Any operation that expects a List can be used as a range operation by operating on a subList view instead of a whole List. For example, the following idiom removes a range of elements from a List: 

                  list.subList(from, to).clear();
      Similar idioms may be constructed for indexOf and lastIndexOf, and all of the algorithms in the Collections class can be applied to a subList.

      The semantics of the List returned by this method become undefined if the backing list (i.e., this List) is structurally modified in any way other than via the returned List. (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.)

      Specified by:
      subList in interface List
      Overrides:
      subList in class AbstractList
      Parameters:
      fromIndex - low endpoint (inclusive) of the subList.
      toIndex - high endpoint (exclusive) of the subList.
      Returns:
      a view of the specified range within this List.
      Throws:
      IndexOutOfBoundsException - endpoint index value out of range (fromIndex < 0 || toIndex > size)
      IllegalArgumentException - endpoint indices out of order (fromIndex > toIndex)

      Returns an array containing all of the elements in this List in the correct order. The runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the List fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this List.

      If the List fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the List), the element in the array immediately following the end of the List is set to null. This is useful in determining the length of the List only if the caller knows that the List does not contain any null elements.

      Specified by:
      toArray in interface Collection
      Specified by:
      toArray in interface List
      Overrides:
      toArray in class AbstractCollection
      Parameters:
      a - the array into which the elements of the List are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.
      Returns:
      an array containing the elements of the List.
      Throws:
      ArrayStoreException - the runtime type of a is not a supertype
      RuntimeException - is thrown if RemoteException is encountered(RemoteException is chained) of the runtime type of every element in this List.

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns a string representation of this collection. The string representation consists of a list of the collection's elements in the order they are returned by its iterator, enclosed in square brackets ("[]"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters ", " (comma and space). Elements are converted to strings as by String.valueOf(Object).

      This implementation creates an empty string buffer, appends a left square bracket, and iterates over the collection appending the string representation of each element in turn. After appending each element except the last, the string ", " is appended. Finally a right bracket is appended. A string is obtained from the string buffer, and returned.

      Overrides:
      toString in class AbstractCollection
      Returns:
      a string representation of this collection.

    • trimToSize

      public void trimToSize()
      Trims the capacity of this List to be the List's current size. If the capacity of this cector is larger than its current size, then the capacity is changed to equal the size by replacing its internal data array, kept in the field elementData, with a smaller one. An application can use this operation to minimize the storage of a List.

    • getInternalListObject

      public MdObjectList getInternalListObject()
