Class Overview

This class provides skeletal implementations of some Queue operations. The implementations in this class are appropriate when the base implementation does not allow null elements. Methods add, remove, and element are based on offer, poll, and peek, respectively, but throw exceptions instead of indicating failure via false or null returns.

A Queue implementation that extends this class must minimally define a method offer(E) which does not permit insertion of null elements, along with methods peek(), poll(), size(), and iterator(). Typically, additional methods will be overridden as well. If these requirements cannot be met, consider instead subclassing AbstractCollection.

Public Methods
boolean	add(E e) Inserts the specified element into this queue if it is possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions, returning `true` upon success and throwing an `IllegalStateException` if no space is currently available.
boolean	addAll(Collection<? extends E> c) Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this queue.
void	clear() Removes all of the elements from this queue.
E	element() Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue.
E	remove() Retrieves and removes the head of this queue.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this `Object`.
boolean	equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of `Class` that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.
final void	wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.

Protected Constructors

protected AbstractQueue ()

Added in API level 1

Constructor for use by subclasses.

Public Methods

public boolean add (E e)

Added in API level 1

Inserts the specified element into this queue if it is possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions, returning true upon success and throwing an IllegalStateException if no space is currently available.

This implementation returns true if offer succeeds, else throws an IllegalStateException.

Parameters

e	the element to add

Returns

true (as specified by add(E))

Throws

IllegalStateException	if the element cannot be added at this time due to capacity restrictions
ClassCastException	if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this queue
NullPointerException	if the specified element is null and this queue does not permit null elements
IllegalArgumentException	if some property of this element prevents it from being added to this queue

public boolean addAll (Collection<? extends E> c)

Added in API level 1

Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this queue. Attempts to addAll of a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

This implementation iterates over the specified collection, and adds each element returned by the iterator to this queue, in turn. A runtime exception encountered while trying to add an element (including, in particular, a null element) may result in only some of the elements having been successfully added when the associated exception is thrown.

Parameters

c	collection containing elements to be added to this queue

Returns

true if this queue changed as a result of the call

Throws

ClassCastException	if the class of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this queue
NullPointerException	if the specified collection contains a null element and this queue does not permit null elements, or if the specified collection is null
IllegalArgumentException	if some property of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this queue, or if the specified collection is this queue
IllegalStateException	if not all the elements can be added at this time due to insertion restrictions

public void clear ()

Added in API level 1

Removes all of the elements from this queue. The queue will be empty after this call returns.

This implementation repeatedly invokes poll until it returns null.

public E element ()

Added in API level 1

Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue. This method differs from peek only in that it throws an exception if this queue is empty.

This implementation returns the result of peek unless the queue is empty.

Returns

the head of this queue

Throws

NoSuchElementException	if this queue is empty

public E remove ()

Added in API level 1

Retrieves and removes the head of this queue. This method differs from poll only in that it throws an exception if this queue is empty.

This implementation returns the result of poll unless the queue is empty.

Returns

the head of this queue

Throws

NoSuchElementException	if this queue is empty
