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.

Since:3.0

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

Constructs an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.
Params:

  • startIndex – the index to start iterating at
Throws:

Construct an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.
Params:

  • startIndex – the index to start iterating at
  • endIndex – the index (exclusive) to finish iterating at
Throws:

Gets the previous element from the array.
Throws:

Gets the next element from the array.

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 */
@Override 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.
Params:
  • o – the element to add
Throws:
See Also:
/** * This iterator does not support modification of its backing collection, and so will * always throw an {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when this method is invoked. * * @param o the element to add * @throws UnsupportedOperationException always thrown. * @see java.util.ListIterator#set */
@Override public void add(final 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.

Params:
  • o – the element to set
Throws:

Resets the iterator back to the start index.
