ArraySet

public final class ArraySet
extends Object implements Collection<E>, Set<E>

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v4.util.ArraySet<E>

ArraySet is a generic set data structure that is designed to be more memory efficient than a traditional HashSet. The design is very similar to ArrayMap, with all of the caveats described there. This implementation is separate from ArrayMap, however, so the Object array contains only one item for each entry in the set (instead of a pair for a mapping).

Note that this implementation is not intended to be appropriate for data structures that may contain large numbers of items. It is generally slower than a traditional HashSet, since lookups require a binary search and adds and removes require inserting and deleting entries in the array. For containers holding up to hundreds of items, the performance difference is not significant, less than 50%.

Because this container is intended to better balance memory use, unlike most other standard Java containers it will shrink its array as items are removed from it. Currently you have no control over this shrinking -- if you set a capacity and then remove an item, it may reduce the capacity to better match the current size. In the future an explicit call to set the capacity should turn off this aggressive shrinking behavior.

Summary

Public constructors

ArraySet()

Create a new empty ArraySet.

Public constructors

ArraySet

added in version 25.1.0
ArraySet ()

Create a new empty ArraySet. The default capacity of an array map is 0, and will grow once items are added to it.

ArraySet

added in version 25.1.0
ArraySet (int capacity)

Create a new ArraySet with a given initial capacity.

Parameters
capacity int

ArraySet

added in version 25.1.0
ArraySet (ArraySet<E> set)

Create a new ArraySet with the mappings from the given ArraySet.

Parameters
set ArraySet

ArraySet

added in version 27.1.0
ArraySet (Collection<E> set)

Create a new ArraySet with the mappings from the given Collection.

Parameters
set Collection

Public methods

add

added in version 25.1.0
boolean add (E value)

Adds the specified object to this set. The set is not modified if it already contains the object.

Parameters
value E: the object to add.
Returns
boolean true if this set is modified, false otherwise.
Throws
ClassCastException when the class of the object is inappropriate for this set.

addAll

added in version 25.1.0
boolean addAll (Collection<? extends E> collection)

Perform an add(Object) of all values in collection

Parameters
collection Collection: The collection whose contents are to be retrieved.

Returns
boolean

addAll

added in version 25.1.0
void addAll (ArraySet<? extends E> array)

Perform a add(Object) of all values in array

Parameters
array ArraySet: The array whose contents are to be retrieved.

clear

added in version 25.1.0
void clear ()

Make the array map empty. All storage is released.

contains

added in version 25.1.0
boolean contains (Object key)

Check whether a value exists in the set.

Parameters
key Object: The value to search for.
Returns
boolean Returns true if the value exists, else false.

containsAll

added in version 25.1.0
boolean containsAll (Collection<?> collection)

Determine if the array set contains all of the values in the given collection.

Parameters
collection Collection: The collection whose contents are to be checked against.
Returns
boolean Returns true if this array set contains a value for every entry in collection, else returns false.

ensureCapacity

added in version 25.1.0
void ensureCapacity (int minimumCapacity)

Ensure the array map can hold at least minimumCapacity items.

Parameters
minimumCapacity int

equals

boolean equals (Object object)

This implementation returns false if the object is not a set, or if the sets have different sizes. Otherwise, for each value in this set, it checks to make sure the value also exists in the other set. If any value doesn't exist, the method returns false; otherwise, it returns true.

Parameters
object Object

Returns
boolean

hashCode

int hashCode ()

Returns
int

indexOf

added in version 25.1.0
int indexOf (Object key)

Returns the index of a value in the set.

Parameters
key Object: The value to search for.
Returns</
