java.lang.Object | +--java.util.AbstractCollection
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Collection interface, to minimize the effort required to implement this interface.
To implement an unmodifiable collection, the programmer needs only to extend this class and provide implementations for the iterator and size methods. (The iterator returned by the iterator method must implement hasNext and next.)
To implement a modifiable collection, the programmer must additionally override this class's add method (which otherwise throws an UnsupportedOperationException), and the iterator returned by the iterator method must additionally implement its remove method.
The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and Collection constructor, as per the recommendation in the Collection interface specification.
The documentation for each non-abstract methods in this class describes its implementation in detail. Each of these methods may be overridden if the collection being implemented admits a more efficient implementation.

public abstract Iterator iterator()
public abstract int size()
public boolean isEmpty()
This implementation returns size() == 0.
public boolean contains(Object o)
This implementation iterates over the elements in the collection, checking each element in turn for equality with the specified element.
o
- object to be checked for containment in this collection.public Object[] toArray()
This implementation allocates the array to be returned, and iterates over the elements in the collection, storing each object reference in the next consecutive element of the array, starting with element 0.
public Object[] toArray(Object[] a)
If the collection fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than the 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 the collection only if the caller knows that the 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.
This implementation checks if the array is large enough to contain the collection; if not, it allocates a new array of the correct size and type (using reflection). Then, it iterates over the collection, storing each object reference in the next consecutive element of the array, starting with element 0. If the array is larger than the collection, a null is stored in the first location after the end of the collection.
a
- the array into which the elements of the collection are to
be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the
same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.public boolean add(Object o)
This implementation always throws an UnsupportedOperationException.
o
- element whose presence in this collection is to be ensured.public boolean remove(Object o)
This implementation iterates over the collection looking for the specified element. If it finds the element, it removes the element from the collection using the iterator's remove method.
Note that this implementation throws an UnsupportedOperationException if the iterator returned by this collection's iterator method does not implement the remove method.
o
- element to be removed from this collection, if present.public boolean containsAll(Collection c)
This implementation iterates over the specified collection, checking each element returned by the iterator in turn to see if it's contained in this collection. If all elements are so contained true is returned, otherwise false.
c
- collection to be checked for containment in this collection.contains(Object)
public boolean addAll(Collection c)
This implementation iterates over the specified collection, and adds each object returned by the iterator to this collection, in turn.
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException unless add is overridden.
c
- collection whose elements are to be added to this collection.add(Object)
public boolean removeAll(Collection c)
This implementation iterates over this collection, checking each element returned by the iterator in turn to see if it's contained in the specified collection. If it's so contained, it's removed from this collection with the iterator's remove method.
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the iterator returned by the iterator method does not implement the remove method.
c
- elements to be removed from this collection.remove(Object)
,
contains(Object)
public boolean retainAll(Collection c)
This implementation iterates over this collection, checking each element returned by the iterator in turn to see if it's contained in the specified collection. If it's not so contained, it's removed from this collection with the iterator's remove method.
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the iterator returned by the iterator method does not implement the remove method.
remove(Object)
,
contains(Object)
public void clear()
This implementation iterates over this collection, removing each element using the Iterator.remove operation. Most implementations will probably choose to override this method for efficiency.
Note that this implementation will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the iterator returned by this collection's iterator method does not implement the remove method.
public String toString()
This implementation creates an empty string buffer, appends a left square bracket, and iterates over the collection appending the string representation of each element in turn. After appending each element except the last, the string ", " is appended. Finally a right bracket is appended. A string is obtained from the string buffer, and returned.
