Decorates another Iterator using a predicate to filter elements.

This iterator decorates the underlying iterator, only allowing through those elements that match the specified Predicate.

Constructs a new FilterIterator that will not function until setPredicate is invoked.

Removes from the underlying collection of the base iterator the last element returned by this iterator. This method can only be called if next() was called, but not after hasNext(), because the hasNext() call changes the base iterator.
Throws:
  • IllegalStateException – if hasNext() has already been called.
