LinkedBlockingQueue

open class LinkedBlockingQueue<E : Any!> : AbstractQueue<E>, BlockingQueue<E>, Serializable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
   ↳ java.util.AbstractQueue<E>
   ↳ java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue

An optionally-bounded blocking queue based on linked nodes. 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. Linked queues typically have higher throughput than array-based queues but less predictable performance in most concurrent applications.

The optional capacity bound constructor argument serves as a way to prevent excessive queue expansion. The capacity, if unspecified, is equal to Integer#MAX_VALUE. Linked nodes are dynamically created upon each insertion unless this would bring the queue above capacity.

This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

    timeout: Long,
    unit: TimeUnit!
): Boolean

Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue, waiting if necessary up to the specified wait time for space to become available.

Parameters

open fun offer(e: E): Boolean

Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue if it is possible to do so immediately without exceeding the queue's capacity, returning true upon success and false if this queue is full.

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
Int the remaining capacity

remove

Added in API level 1
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).

Parameters
o element to be removed from this queue, if present
Return
Boolean 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)
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified element is null (optional)
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the remove operation is not supported by this collection

removeAll

Added in API level 1
open fun removeAll(elements: Collection<E>): Boolean
Parameters
c collection containing elements to be removed from this collection
Return
Boolean true if this collection changed as a result of the call
Exceptions
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the removeAll method is not supported by this collection
java.lang.ClassCastException if the types of one or more elements in this collection are incompatible with the specified collection (optional)

removeIf

Added in API level 24
open fun removeIf(filter: Predicate<in E>): Boolean
Parameters
filter Predicate<in E>: a predicate which returns true for elements to be removed
Return
Boolean true if any elements were removed
Exceptions
java.lang.NullPointerException if the specified filter is null
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if elements cannot be removed from this collection. Implementations may throw this exception if a matching element cannot be removed or if, in general, removal is not supported.

retainAll

Added in API level 1
open fun retainAll(elements: Collection<E>): Boolean
Parameters
c collection containing elements to be retained in this collection
Return
Boolean true if this collection changed as a result of the call
Exceptions
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the retainAll operation is not supported by this collection
java.lang.ClassCastException if the types of one or more elements in this collection are incompatible with the specified collection (optional)
java.lang.NullPointerException if this collection contains one or more null elements and the specified collection does not permit null elements (optional), or if the specified collection is null

spliterator

Added in API level 24
open fun spliterator(): Spliterator<E>

Returns a Spliterator over the elements in this queue.

Return
Spliterator<E> a Spliterator over the elements in this queue

take

Added in API level 1
open fun take(): E
Return
E the head of this queue
Exceptions
java.lang.InterruptedException if interrupted while waiting

toArray

Added in API level 1
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
Array<Any!> an array containing all of the elements in this queue

toArray

Added in API level 1
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 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:

<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<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
Array<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
open fun toString(): String
Return
String a string representation of the object.

Properties

size

Added in API level 1
open val size: Int

Returns the number of elements in this queue.

Return
Int the number of elements in this queue
