import org.apache.commons.collections.ResettableListIterator;

Implements a ListIterator over an array of objects.

This iterator does not support add or ObjectArrayIterator.remove, as the object array cannot be structurally modified. The set method is supported however.

The iterator implements a reset method, allowing the reset of the iterator back to the start if required.

public class ObjectArrayListIterator extends ObjectArrayIterator implements ListIterator, ResettableListIterator {
Holds the index of the last item returned by a call to next() or previous(). This is set to -1 if neither method has yet been invoked. lastItemIndex is used to to implement the set method.
/** * Holds the index of the last item returned by a call to <code>next()</code> * or <code>previous()</code>. This is set to <code>-1</code> if neither method * has yet been invoked. <code>lastItemIndex</code> is used to to implement the * {@link #set} method. */

Constructor for use with setArray.

Using this constructor, the iterator is equivalent to an empty iterator until ObjectArrayIterator.setArray is called to establish the array to iterate over.

/** * Constructor for use with <code>setArray</code>. * <p> * Using this constructor, the iterator is equivalent to an empty iterator * until {@link #setArray} is called to establish the array to iterate over. */

Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.
Params:
  • array – the array to iterate over
Throws:
/** * Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the * specified array. * * @param array the array to iterate over * @throws NullPointerException if <code>array</code> is <code>null</code> */
public ObjectArrayListIterator(Object[] array) { super(array); }
Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.
Params:
  • array – the array to iterate over
  • start – the index to start iterating at
Throws:

Construct an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.
Params:
  • array – the array to iterate over
  • start – the index to start iterating at
  • end – the index (exclusive) to finish iterating at
Throws:
/** * Construct an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over a range of values * in the specified array. * * @param array the array to iterate over * @param start the index to start iterating at * @param end the index (exclusive) to finish iterating at * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if the start or end index is out of bounds * @throws IllegalArgumentException if end index is before the start * @throws NullPointerException if <code>array</code> is <code>null</code> */

Returns true if there are previous elements to return from the array.

/** * Returns true if there are previous elements to return from the array. * * @return true if there is a previous element to return */

Gets the previous element from the array.
Throws:

Gets the next element from the array.
Throws:

Gets the next index to be retrieved.
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.
Returns:the index of the item to be retrieved next

This iterator does not support modification of its backing array's size, and so will always throw an UnsupportedOperationException when this method is invoked.
Params:
  • obj – the object to add
Throws:
/** * This iterator does not support modification of its backing array's size, and so will * always throw an {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when this method is invoked. * * @param obj the object to add * @throws UnsupportedOperationException always thrown. */
public void add(Object obj) { 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.

Params:
  • obj – the object to set into the array
Throws:
/** * Sets the element under the cursor. * <p> * This method sets the element that was returned by the last call * to {@link #next()} of {@link #previous()}. * * <b>Note:</b> {@link ListIterator} implementations that support <code>add()</code> * and <code>remove()</code> only allow <code>set()</code> to be called once per call * to <code>next()</code> or <code>previous</code> (see the {@link ListIterator} * javadoc for more details).

public void set(Object obj) { if (this.lastItemIndex == -1) { throw new IllegalStateException("must call next() or previous() before a call to set()"); } this.array[this.lastItemIndex] = obj; }
Resets the iterator back to the start index.
/** * Resets the iterator back to the start index. */
