A bounded [blocking queue](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/concurrent/BlockingQueue) backed by an array. This queue orders elements FIFO (first-in-first-out). The *head* of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the longest time. The *tail* of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the shortest time. New elements are inserted at the tail of the queue, and the queue retrieval operations obtain elements at the head of the queue.

This is a classic "bounded buffer", in which a fixed-sized array holds elements inserted by producers and extracted by consumers. Once created, the capacity cannot be changed. Attempts to `put` an element into a full queue will result in the operation blocking; attempts to `take` an element from an empty queue will similarly block.

This class supports an optional fairness policy for ordering waiting producer and consumer threads. By default, this ordering is not guaranteed. However, a queue constructed with fairness set to `true` grants threads access in FIFO order. Fairness generally decreases throughput but reduces variability and avoids starvation.

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

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

This implementation iterates over the specified collection, and adds each element returned by the iterator to this queue, in turn.

### remainingCapacity

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
open fun remainingCapacity(): Int
```

Returns the number of additional elements that this queue can ideally (in the absence of memory or resource constraints) accept without blocking. This is always equal to the initial capacity of this queue less the current `size` of this queue.

Note that you *cannot* always tell if an attempt to insert an element will succeed by inspecting `remainingCapacity` because it may be the case that another thread is about to insert or remove an element.

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html` | the remaining capacity |

### remove

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
open fun remove(element: E?): Boolean
```

Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present. More formally, removes an element `e` such that `o.equals(e)`, if this queue contains one or more such elements. Returns `true` if this queue contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this queue changed as a result of the call).

Removal of interior elements in circular array based queues is an intrinsically slow and disruptive operation, so should be undertaken only in exceptional circumstances, ideally only when the queue is known not to be accessible by other threads.

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `o` | element to be removed from this queue, if present |

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html` | `true` if this queue changed as a result of the call |

| Exceptions ||
|---|---|
| `java.lang.ClassCastException` | if the class of the specified element is incompatible with this queue ([optional](https://developer.android.com//reference/java/util/Collection.html#optional-restrictions)) |
| `java.lang.NullPointerException` | if the specified element is null ([optional](https://developer.android.com//reference/java/util/Collection.html#optional-restrictions)) |
| `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` | if the `remove` operation is not supported by this collection |

### removeAll

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html` | `true` if this collection changed as a result of the call |

| Exceptions ||
|---|---|
| `java.lang.ClassCastException` | if the types of one or more elements in this collection are incompatible with the specified collection (#) |
| `java.lang.NullPointerException` | if this collection contains one or more null elements and the specified collection does not support null elements (#) or if the specified collection is null |
| `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` | if the `removeAll` operation is not supported by this collection |

### removeIf

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

```
open fun removeIf(filter: Predicate<in E>): Boolean
```

| Parameters ||
|---|---|

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html` | `true` if any elements were removed |

| Exceptions ||
|---|---|
| `java.lang.NullPointerException` | if the specified filter is null |
| `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` | if the `removeIf` operation is not supported by this collection |

```
open fun retainAll(elements: Collection<E>): Boolean
```

| Parameters ||

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html` | `true` if this collection changed as a result of the call |

| Exceptions ||
|---|---|
| `java.lang.ClassCastException` | if the types of one or more elements in this collection are incompatible with the specified collection (#) |
| `java.lang.NullPointerException` | if this collection contains one or more null elements and the specified collection does not permit null elements (#) or if the specified collection is null |
| `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` | if the `retainAll` operation is not supported by this collection |

### spliterator

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

```
open fun spliterator(): Spliterator<E>
```

Returns a `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Spliterator.html#` over the elements in this queue.

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

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

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Spliterator.html#<E>` | a `Spliterator` over the elements in this queue |

### take

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
open fun take(): E
```

Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary until an element becomes available.

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `E` | the head of this queue |

| Exceptions ||
|---|---|
| `java.lang.InterruptedException` | if interrupted while waiting |

### toArray

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
open fun toArray(): Array<Any!>
```

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in proper sequence.

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this queue. (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.

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-array/index.html<https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-any/index.html!>` | an array containing all of the elements in this queue |

### toArray

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
open fun <T : Any!> toArray(a: Array<T>): Array<T>
```

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in proper sequence; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the queue 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 queue.

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

Like the `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/concurrent/ArrayBlockingQueue#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 queue known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the queue into a newly allocated array of `String`:

```kotlin
<code>String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);</code>
```
Note that `toArray(new Object[0])` is identical in function to `toArray()`.

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `<T>` | the component type of the array to contain the collection |
| `a` | [Array](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-array/index.html)\<T\>: the array into which the elements of the queue are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose |

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-array/index.html<T>` | an array containing all of the elements in this queue |

| Exceptions ||
|---|---|
| `java.lang.ArrayStoreException` | if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this queue |
| `java.lang.NullPointerException` | if the specified array is null |

### toString

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
open fun toString(): String
```

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/kotlin/java/lang/String.html#valueOf(kotlin.Any)`.

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html` | a string representation of the object. |

## Properties

### size

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

```
open val size: Int
```

Returns the number of elements in this queue.

| Return ||
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html` | the number of elements in this queue |
