SingletonIterator is an ListIterator over a single object instance.
Since:2.1
/** * <code>SingletonIterator</code> is an {@link java.util.ListIterator} over a single * object instance. * * @since 2.1 */
public class SingletonListIterator<E> implements ResettableListIterator<E> { private boolean beforeFirst = true; private boolean nextCalled = false; private boolean removed = false; private E object;
Constructs a new SingletonListIterator.
Params:
  • object – the single object to return from the iterator
/** * Constructs a new <code>SingletonListIterator</code>. * * @param object the single object to return from the iterator */
public SingletonListIterator(final E object) { super(); this.object = object; }
Is another object available from the iterator?

This returns true if the single object hasn't been returned yet.

Returns:true if the single object hasn't been returned yet
/** * Is another object available from the iterator? * <p> * This returns true if the single object hasn't been returned yet. * * @return true if the single object hasn't been returned yet */
@Override public boolean hasNext() { return beforeFirst && !removed; }
Is a previous object available from the iterator?

This returns true if the single object has been returned.

Returns:true if the single object has been returned
/** * Is a previous object available from the iterator? * <p> * This returns true if the single object has been returned. * * @return true if the single object has been returned */
@Override public boolean hasPrevious() { return !beforeFirst && !removed; }
Returns the index of the element that would be returned by a subsequent call to next.
Returns:0 or 1 depending on current state.
/** * Returns the index of the element that would be returned by a subsequent * call to {@code next}. * * @return 0 or 1 depending on current state. */
@Override public int nextIndex() { return beforeFirst ? 0 : 1; }
Returns the index of the element that would be returned by a subsequent call to previous. A return value of -1 indicates that the iterator is currently at the start.
Returns:0 or -1 depending on current state.
/** * Returns the index of the element that would be returned by a subsequent * call to {@code previous}. A return value of -1 indicates that the iterator is currently at * the start. * * @return 0 or -1 depending on current state. */

Get the next object from the iterator.

This returns the single object if it hasn't been returned yet.

Throws:
Returns:the single object
/** * Get the next object from the iterator. * <p> * This returns the single object if it hasn't been returned yet. * * @return the single object * @throws NoSuchElementException if the single object has already * been returned */
@Override public E next() { if (!beforeFirst || removed) { throw new NoSuchElementException(); } beforeFirst = false; nextCalled = true; return object; }
Get the previous object from the iterator.

This returns the single object if it has been returned.

Throws:
Returns:the single object

Remove the object from this iterator.
Throws:
  • IllegalStateException – if the next or previous method has not yet been called, or the remove method has already been called after the last call to next or previous.
/** * Remove the object from this iterator. * @throws IllegalStateException if the {@code next} or {@code previous} * method has not yet been called, or the {@code remove} method * has already been called after the last call to {@code next} * or {@code previous}. */

Add always throws UnsupportedOperationException.
Params:
  • obj – the object to add
Throws:
/** * Add always throws {@link UnsupportedOperationException}. * * @param obj the object to add * @throws UnsupportedOperationException always */
@Override public void add(final E obj) { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("add() is not supported by this iterator"); }
Set sets the value of the singleton.
Params:
  • obj – the object to set
Throws:
/** * Set sets the value of the singleton. * * @param obj the object to set * @throws IllegalStateException if {@code next} has not been called * or the object has been removed */
@Override public void set(final E obj) { if (!nextCalled || removed) { throw new IllegalStateException(); } this.object = obj; }
Reset the iterator back to the start.
/** * Reset the iterator back to the start. */
@Override public void reset() { beforeFirst = true; nextCalled = false; } }
