SparseArrayCompat

extends Object
implements Cloneable
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v4.util.SparseArrayCompat<E>

Class Overview

A copy of the current platform (currently KITKAT version of SparseArray ; provides a removeAt() method and other things.

Summary

Public Constructors
SparseArrayCompat ()
Creates a new SparseArray containing no mappings.
SparseArrayCompat (int initialCapacity)
Creates a new SparseArray containing no mappings that will not require any additional memory allocation to store the specified number of mappings.
Public Methods
void append (int key, E value)
Puts a key/value pair into the array, optimizing for the case where the key is greater than all existing keys in the array.
void clear ()
Removes all key-value mappings from this SparseArray.
SparseArrayCompat <E> clone ()
Creates and returns a copy of this Object .
void delete (int key)
Removes the mapping from the specified key, if there was any.
E get (int key)
Gets the Object mapped from the specified key, or null if no such mapping has been made.
E get (int key, E valueIfKeyNotFound)
Gets the Object mapped from the specified key, or the specified Object if no such mapping has been made.
int indexOfKey (int key)
Returns the index for which keyAt(int) would return the specified key, or a negative number if the specified key is not mapped.
int indexOfValue (E value)
Returns an index for which valueAt(int) would return the specified key, or a negative number if no keys map to the specified value.
int keyAt (int index)
Given an index in the range 0...size()-1 , returns the key from the index th key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.
void put (int key, E value)
Adds a mapping from the specified key to the specified value, replacing the previous mapping from the specified key if there was one.
void remove (int key)
Alias for delete(int) .
void removeAt (int index)
Removes the mapping at the specified index.
void removeAtRange (int index, int size)
Remove a range of mappings as a batch.
void setValueAt (int index, E value)
Given an index in the range 0...size()-1 , sets a new value for the index th key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.
int size ()
Returns the number of key-value mappings that this SparseArray currently stores.
String toString ()
Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.

This implementation composes a string by iterating over its mappings.

E valueAt (int index)
Given an index in the range 0...size()-1 , returns the value from the index th key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.

Public Constructors

public SparseArrayCompat ()

Creates a new SparseArray containing no mappings.

public SparseArrayCompat (int initialCapacity)

Creates a new SparseArray containing no mappings that will not require any additional memory allocation to store the specified number of mappings. If you supply an initial capacity of 0, the sparse array will be initialized with a light-weight representation not requiring any additional array allocations.

Public Methods

public void append (int key, E value)

Puts a key/value pair into the array, optimizing for the case where the key is greater than all existing keys in the array.

public void clear ()

Removes all key-value mappings from this SparseArray.

public SparseArrayCompat <E> clone ()

Creates and returns a copy of this Object . The default implementation returns a so-called "shallow" copy: It creates a new instance of the same class and then copies the field values (including object references) from this instance to the new instance. A "deep" copy, in contrast, would also recursively clone nested objects. A subclass that needs to implement this kind of cloning should call super.clone() to create the new instance and then create deep copies of the nested, mutable objects.

Returns
  • a copy of this object.

public void delete (int key)

Removes the mapping from the specified key, if there was any.

public E get (int key)

Gets the Object mapped from the specified key, or null if no such mapping has been made.

public E get (int key, E valueIfKeyNotFound)

Gets the Object mapped from the specified key, or the specified Object if no such mapping has been made.

public int indexOfKey (int key)

Returns the index for which keyAt(int) would return the specified key, or a negative number if the specified key is not mapped.

public int indexOfValue (E value)

Returns an index for which valueAt(int) would return the specified key, or a negative number if no keys map to the specified value.

Beware that this is a linear search, unlike lookups by key, and that multiple keys can map to the same value and this will find only one of them.

Note also that unlike most collections' indexOf methods, this method compares values using == rather than equals .

public int keyAt (int index)

Given an index in the range 0...size()-1 , returns the key from the index th key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.

public void put (int key, E value)

Adds a mapping from the specified key to the specified value, replacing the previous mapping from the specified key if there was one.

public void remove (int key)

Alias for delete(int) .

public void removeAt (int index)

Removes the mapping at the specified index.

public void removeAtRange (int index, int size)

Remove a range of mappings as a batch.

Parameters
index Index to begin at
size Number of mappings to remove

public void setValueAt (int index, E value)

Given an index in the range 0...size()-1 , sets a new value for the index th key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.

public int size ()

Returns the number of key-value mappings that this SparseArray currently stores.

public String toString ()

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression:

          getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
         

See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

This implementation composes a string by iterating over its mappings. If this map contains itself as a value, the string "(this Map)" will appear in its place.

Returns
  • a printable representation of this object.

public E valueAt (int index)

Given an index in the range 0...size()-1 , returns the value from the index th key-value mapping that this SparseArray stores.
