*** ** * ** ***

An optionally-bounded [blocking deque](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/BlockingDeque) based on
linked nodes.

The optional capacity bound constructor argument serves as a
way to prevent excessive expansion. The capacity, if unspecified,
is equal to `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Integer#MAX_VALUE`. Linked nodes are
dynamically created upon each insertion unless this would bring the
deque above capacity.

Most operations run in constant time (ignoring time spent
blocking). Exceptions include `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/LinkedBlockingDeque#remove(java.lang.Object)`,
`https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/LinkedBlockingDeque#removeFirstOccurrence(java.lang.Object)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/LinkedBlockingDeque#removeLastOccurrence(java.lang.Object)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/LinkedBlockingDeque#contains(java.lang.Object)`, and the bulk operations, all of which run in linear
time.

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

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

possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions,
throwing an `IllegalStateException` if no space is currently
available. When using a capacity-restricted deque, it is generally
preferable to use `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/BlockingDeque#offerFirst(E)`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `e` | `E`: the element to add <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalStateException` | if this deque is full |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NullPointerException` |   |

### addLast

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public void addLast (E e)
```

Inserts the specified element at the end of this deque if it is
possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions,
throwing an `IllegalStateException` if no space is currently
available. When using a capacity-restricted deque, it is generally
preferable to use `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/BlockingDeque#offerLast(E)`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `e` | `E`: the element to add <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalStateException` | if this deque is full |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NullPointerException` |   |

### clear

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public void clear ()
```

Atomically removes all of the elements from this deque.
The deque will be empty after this call returns.

<br />

### contains

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public boolean contains (Object o)
```

Returns `true` if this deque contains the specified element.
More formally, returns `true` if and only if this deque contains
at least one element `e` such that `o.equals(e)`.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `o` | `Object`: object to be checked for containment in this deque <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if this deque contains the specified element <br /> |

### descendingIterator

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Iterator<E> descendingIterator ()
```

Returns an iterator over the elements in this deque in reverse
sequential order. The elements will be returned in order from
last (tail) to first (head).

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

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Iterator<E>` | an iterator over the elements in this deque in reverse order <br /> |

### drainTo

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public int drainTo (Collection<? super E> c, 
                int maxElements)
```

Removes at most the given number of available elements from
this queue and adds them to the given collection. A failure
encountered while attempting to add elements to
collection `c` may result in elements being in neither,
either or both collections when the associated exception is
thrown. Attempts to drain 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.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `c` | `Collection`: the collection to transfer elements into <br /> |
| `maxElements` | `int`: the maximum number of elements to transfer <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | the number of elements transferred <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ClassCastException` |   |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` |   |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NullPointerException` |   |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException` |   |

### drainTo

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public int drainTo (Collection<? super E> c)
```

Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them
to the given collection. This operation may be more
efficient than repeatedly polling this queue. A failure
encountered while attempting to add elements to
collection `c` may result in elements being in neither,
either or both collections when the associated exception is
thrown. Attempts to drain 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.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `c` | `Collection`: the collection to transfer elements into <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | the number of elements transferred <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/ClassCastException` |   |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` |   |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/NullPointerException` |   |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException` |   |

### element

Added in [API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public E element ()
```

Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of the queue represented by
this deque. This method differs from `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/LinkedBlockingDeque#peek()` only in that
it throws an exception if this deque is empty.

This method is equivalent to `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/LinkedBlockingDeque#getFirst()`.

<br />

                TimeUnit unit)
```

Inserts the specified element into the queue represented by this deque
(in other words, at the tail of this deque), waiting up to the
specified wait time if necessary for space to become available.

### toArray

Added in [API level 9](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; 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/LinkedBlockingDeque#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()`.

| 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 9](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)`.

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