*** ** * ** ***


**This class was deprecated
in API level 9.**   

This class implements a deprecated interface,
`https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/AttributeList`;
that interface has been replaced by
`https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/Attributes`,
which is implemented in the
`https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/helpers/AttributesImpl` helper class.

Default implementation for AttributeList.

> *This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
> Public Domain, and comes with **NO WARRANTY**.* See <http://www.saxproject.org> for further information.

AttributeList implements the deprecated SAX1 `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/AttributeList` interface, and has been
replaced by the new SAX2 `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/helpers/AttributesImpl` interface.

This class provides a convenience implementation of the SAX
`https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/AttributeList` interface. This
implementation is useful both for SAX parser writers, who can use
it to provide attributes to the application, and for SAX application
writers, who can use it to create a persistent copy of an element's
attribute specifications:

```
private AttributeList myatts;

public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts)
{
             // create a persistent copy of the attribute list
             // for use outside this method
  myatts = new AttributeListImpl(atts);
  [...]
}
```

Please note that SAX parsers are not required to use this
class to provide an implementation of AttributeList; it is
supplied only as an optional convenience. In particular,
parser writers are encouraged to invent more efficient
implementations.

## Public constructors

### AttributeListImpl

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

```
public AttributeListImpl ()
```

Create an empty attribute list.

This constructor is most useful for parser writers, who
will use it to create a single, reusable attribute list that
can be reset with the clear method between elements.

<br />

<br />

**See also:**

- `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/helpers/AttributeListImpl#addAttribute(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/helpers/AttributeListImpl#clear()`

### AttributeListImpl

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

```
public AttributeListImpl (AttributeList atts)
```

Construct a persistent copy of an existing attribute list.

This constructor is most useful for application writers,
who will use it to create a persistent copy of an existing
attribute list.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `atts` | `AttributeList`: The attribute list to copy <br /> |

**See also:**

- `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/DocumentHandler#startElement(java.lang.String,%20org.xml.sax.AttributeList)`

## Public methods

### addAttribute

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

```
public void addAttribute (String name, 
                String type, 
                String value)
```

Add an attribute to an attribute list.

This method is provided for SAX parser writers, to allow them
to build up an attribute list incrementally before delivering
it to the application.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `name` | `String`: The attribute name. <br /> |
| `type` | `String`: The attribute type ("NMTOKEN" for an enumeration). <br /> |
| `value` | `String`: The attribute value (must not be null). <br /> |

**See also:**

- `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/helpers/AttributeListImpl#removeAttribute(java.lang.String)`
- `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/DocumentHandler#startElement(java.lang.String,%20org.xml.sax.AttributeList)`

### clear

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

```
public void clear ()
```

Clear the attribute list.

SAX parser writers can use this method to reset the attribute
list between DocumentHandler.startElement events. Normally,
it will make sense to reuse the same AttributeListImpl object
rather than allocating a new one each time.

<br />

<br />

**See also:**

- `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/DocumentHandler#startElement(java.lang.String,%20org.xml.sax.AttributeList)`

SAX application writers can use this method to filter an
attribute out of an AttributeList. Note that invoking this
method will change the length of the attribute list and
some of the attribute's indices.

If the requested attribute is not in the list, this is
a no-op.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `name` | `String`: The attribute name. <br /> |

**See also:**

- `https://developer.android.com/reference/org/xml/sax/helpers/AttributeListImpl#addAttribute(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)`

This method allows an application writer to reuse an
attribute list easily.
