ArraySet

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

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.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.

This structure is NOT thread-safe.

boolean Returns true if the value exists, else false.

containsAll

Added in API level 23
public 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.

ensureCapacity

Added in API level 23
public void ensureCapacity (int minimumCapacity)

Ensure the array map can hold at least minimumCapacity items.

Parameters
minimumCapacity int

equals

Added in API level 23
public boolean equals (Object object)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

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: This value may be null.

Returns
boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

forEach

Added in API level 24
public void forEach (Consumer<? super E> action)

Performs the given action for all elements in the stored order. This implementation overrides the default implementation to avoid using the iterator().

Parameters
action Consumer: The action to be performed for each element

hashCode

Added in API level 23
public int hashCode ()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns
int a hash code value for this object.

indexOf

Added in API level 23
public int indexOf (Object key)

Returns the index of a value in the set.

Parameters
key Object: The value to search for.

Returns
int Returns the index of the value if it exists, else a negative integer.

isEmpty

Added in API level 23
public boolean isEmpty ()

Return true if the array map contains no items.

Returns
boolean true if this collection contains no elements

iterator

Added in API level 23
public Iterator<E> iterator ()

Return an Iterator over all values in the set.

Note: this is a fairly inefficient way to access the array contents, it requires generating a number of temporary objects and allocates additional state information associated with the container that will remain for the life of the container.

Returns
Iterator<E> an Iterator over the elements in this collection

remove

Added in API level 23
public boolean remove (Object object)

Removes the specified object from this set.

Parameters
object Object: the object to remove.

Returns
boolean true if this set was modified, false otherwise.

removeAll

Added in API level 23
public boolean removeAll (Collection<?> collection)

Remove all values in the array set that exist in the given collection.

Parameters
collection Collection: The collection whose contents are to be used to remove values.

Returns
boolean Returns true if any values were removed from the array set, else false.

removeAll

Added in API level 23
public boolean removeAll (ArraySet<? extends E> array)

Perform a remove(java.lang.Object) of all values in array

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

Returns
boolean

removeAt

Added in API level 23
public E removeAt (int index)

Remove the key/value mapping at the given index.

For indices outside of the range 0...size()-1, the behavior is undefined for apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.P and earlier, and an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown for apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.Q and later.

Parameters
index int: The desired index, must be between 0 and size()-1.

Returns
E Returns the value that was stored at this index.

removeIf

Added in API level 24
public boolean removeIf (Predicate<? super E> filter)

Removes all values that satisfy the predicate. This implementation avoids using the iterator().

Parameters
filter Predicate: A predicate which returns true for elements to be removed

Returns
boolean true if any elements were removed

retainAll

Added in API level 23
public boolean retainAll (Collection<?> collection)

Remove all values in the array set that do not exist in the given collection.

Parameters
collection Collection: The collection whose contents are to be used to determine which values to keep.

Returns
boolean Returns true if any values were removed from the array set, else false.

size

Added in API level 23
public int size ()

Return the number of items in this array map.

Returns
int the number of elements in this collection

toArray

Added in API level 23
public T[] toArray (T[] array)

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the collection fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this collection.

If this collection fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this collection), the element in the array immediately following the end of the collection is set to null. (This is useful in determining the length of this collection only if the caller knows that this collection does not contain any null elements.)

If this collection makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.

Parameters
array T: the array into which the elements of this collection are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.

Returns
T[] an array containing all of the elements in this collection

toArray

Added in API level 23
public Object[] toArray ()

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection. If this collection makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order. The returned array's runtime component type is Object.

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this collection. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if this collection is backed by an array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

Returns
Object[] an array, whose type is Object, containing all of the elements in this collection

toString

Added in API level 23
public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

This implementation composes a string by iterating over its values. If this set contains itself as a value, the string "(this Set)" will appear in its place.

Returns
String a string representation of the object.

valueAt

Added in API level 23
public E valueAt (int index)

Return the value at the given index in the array.

For indices outside of the range 0...size()-1, the behavior is undefined for apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.P and earlier, and an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown for apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.Q and later.

Parameters
index int: The desired index, must be between 0 and size()-1.

Returns
E Returns the value stored at the given index.
