AtomicLong

extends Number
implements Serializable
java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.lang.Number
     ↳ java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong

Class Overview

A long value that may be updated atomically. See the java.util.concurrent.atomic package specification for description of the properties of atomic variables. An AtomicLong is used in applications such as atomically incremented sequence numbers, and cannot be used as a replacement for a Long . However, this class does extend Number to allow uniform access by tools and utilities that deal with numerically-based classes.

Public Constructors

public AtomicLong (long initialValue)

Added in API level 1

Creates a new AtomicLong with the given initial value.

Parameters
initialValue the initial value

public AtomicLong ()

Added in API level 1

Creates a new AtomicLong with initial value 0 .

Public Methods

public final long addAndGet (long delta)

Added in API level 1

Atomically adds the given value to the current value.

Parameters
delta the value to add
Returns
  • the updated value

public final boolean compareAndSet (long expect, long update)

Added in API level 1

Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value.

Parameters
expect the expected value
update the new value
Returns
  • true if successful. False return indicates that the actual value was not equal to the expected value.

public final long decrementAndGet ()

Added in API level 1

Atomically decrements by one the current value.

Returns
  • the updated value

public double doubleValue ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of this AtomicLong as a double after a widening primitive conversion.

Returns
  • the primitive double value of this object.

public float floatValue ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of this AtomicLong as a float after a widening primitive conversion.

Returns
  • the primitive float value of this object.

public final long get ()

Added in API level 1

Gets the current value.

Returns
  • the current value

public final long getAndAdd (long delta)

Added in API level 1

Atomically adds the given value to the current value.

Parameters
delta the value to add
Returns
  • the previous value

public final long getAndDecrement ()

Added in API level 1

Atomically decrements by one the current value.

Returns
  • the previous value

public final long getAndIncrement ()

Added in API level 1

Atomically increments by one the current value.

Returns
  • the previous value

public final long getAndSet (long newValue)

Added in API level 1

Atomically sets to the given value and returns the old value.

Parameters
newValue the new value
Returns
  • the previous value

public final long incrementAndGet ()

Added in API level 1

Atomically increments by one the current value.

Returns
  • the updated value

public int intValue ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of this AtomicLong as an int after a narrowing primitive conversion.

Returns
  • the primitive int value of this object.

public final void lazySet (long newValue)

Added in API level 9

Eventually sets to the given value.

Parameters
newValue the new value

public long longValue ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the value of this AtomicLong as a long .

Returns
  • the primitive long value of this object.

public final void set (long newValue)

Added in API level 1

Sets to the given value.

Parameters
newValue the new value

public String toString ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the String representation of the current value.

Returns
  • the String representation of the current value

public final boolean weakCompareAndSet (long expect, long update)

Added in API level 1

Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value.

May fail spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees , so is only rarely an appropriate alternative to compareAndSet .

Parameters
expect the expected value
update the new value
Returns
  • true if successful
