# Vector Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) # Vector ``` open class Vector : AbstractList, Cloneable, MutableList, RandomAccess, Serializable ``` |---|---|---|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [kotlin.Any](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-any/index.html) |||| | ↳ | [java.util.AbstractCollection](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/AbstractCollection)\ ||| | | ↳ | [java.util.AbstractList](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/AbstractList)\ || | | | ↳ | [java.util.Vector](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Vector#) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Known Direct Subclasses [Stack](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Stack) |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Stack](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Stack) | The`Stack`class represents a last-in-first-out (LIFO) stack of objects. | | The`Vector`class implements a growable array of objects. Like an array, it contains components that can be accessed using an integer index. However, the size of a`Vector`can grow or shrink as needed to accommodate adding and removing items after the`Vector`has been created. Each vector tries to optimize storage management by maintaining a`capacity`and a`capacityIncrement`. The`capacity`is always at least as large as the vector size; it is usually larger because as components are added to the vector, the vector's storage increases in chunks the size of`capacityIncrement`. An application can increase the capacity of a vector before inserting a large number of components; this reduces the amount of incremental reallocation. The iterators returned by this class's #iterator() and[listIterator](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Vector#listIterator(kotlin.Int))methods are*fail-fast* : if the vector is structurally modified at any time after the iterator is created, in any way except through the iterator's own[remove](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/ListIterator#remove())or[add](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/ListIterator#add(java.util.ListIterator.E))methods, the iterator will throw a[ConcurrentModificationException](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/ConcurrentModificationException). Thus, in the face of concurrent modification, the iterator fails quickly and cleanly, rather than risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future. The[Enumerations](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Enumeration)returned by the[elements](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Vector#elements())method are*not*fail-fast; if the Vector is structurally modified at any time after the enumeration is created then the results of enumerating are undefined. Note that the fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast iterators throw`ConcurrentModificationException`on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness:*the fail-fast behavior of iterators should be used only to detect bugs.* As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class was retrofitted to implement the[List](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/List)interface, making it a member of the[Java Collections Framework](https://developer.android.com//reference/java/util/package-summary.html#CollectionsFramework). Unlike the new collection implementations,`Vector`is synchronized. If a thread-safe implementation is not needed, it is recommended to use[ArrayList](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/ArrayList)in place of`Vector`. ## Summary | Public

Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this collection (optional operation). The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress. (This implies that the behavior of this call is undefined if the specified collection is this collection, and this collection is nonempty.) If the specified collection has a defined[encounter order](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/SequencedCollection#encounter), processing of its elements generally occurs in that order.

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](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/lang/Class.html#getComponentType())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 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.
| | [String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html) | [toString](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/AbstractCollection#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 (`"[]"`).

The number of times this list has been*structurally modified*. Structural modifications are those that change the size of the list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results. This field is used by the iterator and list iterator implementation returned by the`iterator`and`listIterator`methods. If the value of this field changes unexpectedly, the iterator (or list iterator) will throw a`ConcurrentModificationException`in response to the`next`,`remove`,`previous`,`set`or`add`operations. This provides*fail-fast*behavior, rather than non-deterministic behavior in the face of concurrent modification during iteration. **Use of this field by subclasses is optional.** If a subclass wishes to provide fail-fast iterators (and list iterators), then it merely has to increment this field in its`add(int, E)`and`remove(int)`methods (and any other methods that it overrides that result in structural modifications to the list). A single call to`add(int, E)`or`remove(int)`must add no more than one to this field, or the iterators (and list iterators) will throw bogus`ConcurrentModificationExceptions`. If an implementation does not wish to provide fail-fast iterators, this field may be ignored.

(If fromIndex and toIndex are equal, the returned List is empty.) The returned List is backed by this List, so changes in the returned List are reflected in this List, and vice-versa. The returned List supports all of the optional List operations supported by this List. This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of the sort that commonly exist for arrays). Any operation that expects a List can be used as a range operation by operating on a subList view instead of a whole List. For example, the following idiom removes a range of elements from a List: ```kotlin list.subList(from, to).clear(); ``` Similar idioms may be constructed for indexOf and lastIndexOf, and all of the algorithms in the Collections class can be applied to a subList. The semantics of the List returned by this method become undefined if the backing list (i.e., this List) is*structurally modified*in any way other than via the returned List. (Structural modifications are those that change the size of the List, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.) | Parameters || |-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `fromIndex` | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html):low endpoint (inclusive) of the subList | | `toIndex` | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html):high endpoint (exclusive) of the subList | | Return || |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------| | [MutableList](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/-mutable-list/index.html) | a view of the specified range within this List | | Exceptions || |---------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException` | if an endpoint index value is out of range`(fromIndex < 0 || toIndex > size)` | | `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` | if the endpoint indices are out of order`(fromIndex > toIndex)` | ### toArray Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` open fun toArray(): Array ``` Returns an array containing all of the elements in this Vector in the correct order. | Return || |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Array](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-array/index.html)<[Any](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-any/index.html)!> | an array containing all of the elements in this list in proper sequence | ### toArray Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` open fun toArray(a: Array): Array ``` Returns an array containing all of the elements in this Vector in the correct order; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array.
