*** ** * ** ***

An unbounded concurrent [deque](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Deque) based on linked nodes. Concurrent insertion, removal, and access operations execute safely across multiple threads. A `ConcurrentLinkedDeque` is an appropriate choice when many threads will share access to a common collection. Like most other concurrent collection implementations, this class does not permit the use of `null` elements.

Iterators and spliterators are [*weakly consistent*](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/package-summary#Weakly).

Beware that, unlike in most collections, the `size` method is *NOT* a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these deques, determining the current number of elements requires a traversal of the elements, and so may report inaccurate results if this collection is modified during traversal.

Bulk operations that add, remove, or examine multiple elements, such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentLinkedDeque#addAll(java.util.Collection<?%20extends%20E>)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentLinkedDeque#removeIf(java.util.function.Predicate<?%20super%20E>)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentLinkedDeque#forEach(java.util.function.Consumer<?%20super%20E>)`, are *not* guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, a `forEach` traversal concurrent with an `addAll` operation might observe only some of the added elements.

This class and its iterator implement all of the *optional* methods of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Deque` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Iterator` interfaces.

Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a `ConcurrentLinkedDeque` [*happen-before*](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/package-summary#MemoryVisibility) actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from the `ConcurrentLinkedDeque` in another thread.

This class is a member of the [Java Collections Framework](https://reference/java/util/package-summary.html#CollectionsFramework).

```
public boolean removeLastOccurrence (Object o)
```

Removes the last occurrence of the specified element from this deque. If the deque does not contain the element, it is unchanged.

```
public boolean retainAll (Collection<?> c)

### size

Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public int size ()
```

Returns the number of elements in this deque. If this deque contains more than `Integer.MAX_VALUE` elements, it returns `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.

Beware that, unlike in most collections, this method is *NOT* a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these deques, determining the current number of elements requires traversing them all to count them. Additionally, it is possible for the size to change during execution of this method, in which case the returned result will be inaccurate. Thus, this method is typically not very useful in concurrent applications.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | the number of elements in this deque <br /> |

### spliterator

Added in [API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Spliterator<E> spliterator ()
```

Returns a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Spliterator` over the elements in this deque.

The returned spliterator is [*weakly consistent*](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/package-summary#Weakly).

The `Spliterator` reports `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Spliterator#CONCURRENT`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Spliterator#ORDERED`, and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Spliterator#NONNULL`.

<br />

##### Implementation Note:

- The `Spliterator` implements `trySplit` to permit limited parallelism.

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Spliterator<E>` | a `Spliterator` over the elements in this deque <br /> |

### toArray

Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Object[] toArray ()
```

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque, in proper sequence (from first to last element).

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

This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object` | an array containing all of the elements in this deque <br /> |

### toArray

Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public T[] toArray (T[] a)
```

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this deque, in proper sequence (from first to last element); the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the deque 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 deque.

If this deque fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this deque), the element in the array immediately following the end of the deque is set to `null`.

Like the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentLinkedDeque#toArray()` method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.

Suppose `x` is a deque known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the deque into a newly allocated array of `String`:

     String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);

Note that `toArray(new Object[0])` is identical in function to `toArray()`.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `a` | `T`: the array into which the elements of the deque are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `T[]` | an array containing all of the elements in this deque <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ArrayStoreException` | if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this deque |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NullPointerException` | if the specified array is null |

### toString

Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public String toString ()
```

Returns a string representation of this collection. The string representation consists of a list of the collection's elements in the order they are returned by its iterator, enclosed in square brackets (`"[]"`). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters `", "` (comma and space). Elements are converted to strings as by `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String#valueOf(java.lang.Object)`.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String` | a string representation of this collection <br /> |
