Implements a ListIterator over an array.

The array can be either an array of object or of primitives. If you know that you have an object array, the ObjectArrayListIterator class is a better choice, as it will perform better.

This iterator does not support add(Object) or ArrayIterator.remove(), as the array cannot be changed in size. The set(Object) method is supported however.

Constructor for use with setArray.

Using this constructor, the iterator is equivalent to an empty iterator until ArrayIterator.setArray(Object) is called to establish the array to iterate over.

Constructs an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.
Params:
  • array – the array to iterate over

Gets the previous element from the array.

Returns:the index of the item to be retrieved next
/** * Gets the next index to be retrieved. * * @return the index of the item to be retrieved next */
public int nextIndex() { return this.index - this.startIndex; }
Gets the index of the item to be retrieved if previous() is called.

This iterator does not support modification of its backing collection, and so will always throw an UnsupportedOperationException when this method is invoked.
Throws:

public void add(Object o) { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("add() method is not supported"); }
Sets the element under the cursor.

This method sets the element that was returned by the last call to next() of previous().

Note: ListIterator implementations that support add() and remove() only allow set() to be called once per call to next() or previous (see the ListIterator javadoc for more details). Since this implementation does not support add() or remove(), set() may be called as often as desired.
