Get a down-casted iterable.

This allows to view any iterable as being an iterable of a base class of its generic type.

Although casting generic types is frowned upon in general, in this special case using this method does not harm static type safety. I.e. if your program compiles the code without warnings, your program will not throw ClassCastExceptions as the result of using this method.

Example:

   public void drawShapes(Iterable<Shape> shapes) {
     // ...
   }

   // ...
   Collection<Rectangle2D> rectangles = // ...
   drawShapes(Types.<Shape>downCast(rectangles));

Get a down-casted iterator.

This allows to view any iterator as being an iterator of a base class of its generic type.

Although casting generic types is frowned upon in general, in this special case using of this method does not harm static type safety. I.e. if your program compiles the code without warnings, your program will not throw ClassCastExceptions as the result of using this method.

Example:

   public void drawShapes(Iterator<Shape> shapes) {
     // ...
   }

   // ...
   Collection<Rectangle2D> rectangles = // ...
   drawShapes(Types.<Shape>downCast(rectangles.iterator());

 

Type Parameters:

T - base type

Parameters:

iterator - iterator with extended type

Returns:

iterable with base type

Get a down-casted enumeration.

This allows to view any enumeration as being an enumeration of a base class of its generic type.

Although casting generic types is frowned upon in general, in this special case usage of this method does not harm static type safety. I.e. if your program compiles the code without warnings, your program will not throw ClassCastExceptions as the result of using this method.

cast

@NotNull

                                                      java.lang.Iterable<?> iterable)

Get a casted iterable.

Be careful using this method, as it can easily harm static type safety. I.e. only use when it is guaranteed that all elements returned by the iteration fulfill the promise that they are of type T. Otherwise a ClassCastException will be thrown when using the iterator if the iterable.

In other words: you can use this method to compile a program which will fail at runtime! And that is usually a stupid idea. So you should rethink your design before using this method.

The reason for this method is that life isn't perfect, and especially when you have to use libraries (even standard Java ones) this method may prove helpful.

Example:

   // we have this naked collection, but we know all its elements are Strings
   Collection foo = otherLibObject.getCollection();
   for (String str : Types.<String>cast(foo)) {
     // ...
   }
 

Type Parameters:

T - target type

Parameters:

iterable - iterable with any tye

Returns:

Do left-associative folding of an array.

Folding is the reduction of the elements of a collection into one value, by applying the same function on each element with the result of the last call.

Eg to calculate the integer sum of an array of Numbers, you can use the following code

  Number[] array = { 1, Math.PI, 9L };
  double result = Types.foldLeft(array, 0.0,
                                new Function2<Double, Double, Number>() {
                                   public Double apply(Double arg1, Number arg2) {
                                     return arg1 + arg2.doubleValue();
                                   }
                                });
 

result will have a value of 13.14... after the call.

Type Parameters:

V - accumulated value type

T - array type

Parameters:

array - array which elements are folded together

initialValue - start value

folder - folding function, the apply method gets the accumulated value as its first and the element as its second argument, and returns the result of their combination

Add the mapped elements of an iterator into a collection.

This method allows to discard elements during the mapping.

Note that iterator is not allowed to be an iterator of the target collection, otherwise you'll get either a ConcurrentModificationException, or another exception because you are running into an endless loop.

Type Parameters:

C - collection type

T - target (mapped) type

S - source type

Parameters:

target - collection where the mapped elements are added

iterator - iterator providing the source elements

typeConverter - type converter converting the source elements into the mapped elements

deleteMark - special return value of the type converter which means not to copy the result into the target collection. It is compared with reference equality. Often null is a useful choice, only in cases where the target collection may contain null values and the type converter may produce them another mark is necessary.

Returns:

reference to target, allowing to create it directly in the call

Add the mapped elements of an iteration into a collection.

This will add all mapped elements to the target collection. See map(java.util.Collection, Iterable, Function, Object) for a method which allows to discard elements.

Note that target and iterable are not allowed to be the same object, otherwise you'll get either a ConcurrentModificationException, or another exception because you are running into an endless loop.

Type Parameters:

C - collection type

T - target (mapped) type

S - source type

Parameters:

target - collection where the mapped elements are added

iterable - iterable providing the source elements

typeConverter - type converter converting the source elements into the mapped elements

Returns:

reference to target, allowing to create it directly in the call

Throws:

TypeConverterException - if the conversion fails with an exception, the thrown exception will provide this original exception as TypeConverterException.getException()

Add the mapped elements of an enumeration to a map.

The converted values will become keys, pointing to the associated incoming values.

This will add all mapped elements to the target map. See mapM(java.util.Map, Iterable, Function, Object) for a method which allows to discard elements.

Note that enumeration is not allowed to be an enumeration of the target collection, otherwise you'll get either a ConcurrentModificationException, or another exception because you are running into an endless loop.

Type Parameters:

M - map type

T - target (mapped) type

S - source type

Parameters:

target - map where the mapped elements are added

enumeration - enumeration providing the source elements

typeConverter - type converter converting the source elements into the mapped elements

Returns:

reference to target, allowing to create it directly in the call

Throws:

TypeConverterException - if the conversion fails with an exception, the thrown exception will provide this original exception as TypeConverterException.getException()

Deprecated. use mapFragile(Collection, Object[], FragileFunction1, Object) instead which does not require handling a TypeConverterException

Add the mapped elements of an array into a collection.

This method allows to discard elements during the mapping.

Type Parameters:

C - collection type

T - target (mapped) type

S - source type

Parameters:

target - collection where the mapped elements are added

array - array providing the source elements

typeConverter - type converter converting the source elements into the mapped elements

deleteMark - special return value of the type converter which means not to copy the result into the target collection. It is compared with reference equality. Often null is a useful choice, only in cases where the target collection may contain null values and the type converter may produce them another mark is necessary.

Returns:

reference to target, allowing to create it directly in the call

Throws:

TypeConverterException - if the conversion fails with an exception, the thrown exception will provide this original exception as TypeConverterException.getException()

Deprecated. use mapFragile(Collection, Iterator, FragileFunction1, Object) instead which does not require handling a TypeConverterException

Add the mapped elements of an iterator into a collection.

This method allows to discard elements during the mapping.

Note that iterator is not allowed to be an iterator of the target collection, otherwise you'll get either a ConcurrentModificationException, or another exception because you are running into an endless loop.

Type Parameters:

C - collection type

T - target (mapped) type

S - source type

Parameters:

target - collection where the mapped elements are added

iterator - iterator providing the source elements

typeConverter - type converter converting the source elements into the mapped elements

deleteMark - special return value of the type converter which means not to copy the result into the target collection. It is compared with reference equality. Often null is a useful choice, only in cases where the target collection may contain null values and the type converter may produce them another mark is necessary.

Returns:

reference to target, allowing to create it directly in the call

Throws:

TypeConverterException - if the conversion fails with an exception, the thrown exception will provide this original exception as TypeConverterException.getException()

S - source type

Parameters:

iterator - iterator providing the source elements

typeConverter - type converter converting the source elements into the mapped elements

deleteMark - special return value of the type converter which means not to copy the result into the target collection. It is compared with reference equality. Often null is a useful choice, only in cases where the target collection may contain null values and the type converter may produce them another mark is necessary.

Returns:

map with mapping results

Throws:

TypeConverterException - if the conversion fails with an exception, the thrown exception will provide this original exception as TypeConverterException.getException()

containsEquals

public static <T> boolean containsEquals(@NotNull
                                         java.lang.Iterable<T> collection,

                                         T element)

Test whether a collection contains an element which is equal to another element. The standard Collection contains() method is sometimes erroneously checking for reference equality, while this method uses the equals() method. As this method has to use an iterator its efficiency is determined by the size of the collection and the time for equality checking of the element.

Type Parameters:

T - generic parameter

Parameters:

collection - collection

element - element which is looked up

Returns:

true if an element which is equal to the given one is contained in the collection
false otherwise

Extract all elements of a given type.

Internally this is using reflection, namely the Class.isInstance(Object) method, which is not considered fast. If you need this method often, rethink your design. Compare extract(Iterable, Class) for an easily adaptable example.

Type Parameters:

T - target type

C - target collection type

Parameters:

target - target collection

iterator - iterator with arbitrary elements

targetType - type of elements which shall be extracted

Returns:

a linked list containing only the elements of the target type (including extending types)

View a collection as if it has of another element type. This will return an unmodifiable collection with a different element type. It is considered useful in cases when you are in need of a readable collection, but only have one with a slightly different type. Compared to map(Collection, Function) this does not copy the collection, instead it applies the mapper on each access. So in general it is most useful when elements are rarely read, eg for iterating over them.

Possible restrictions on the source collection (eg a set may contain elements only once, or it may be ordered) are no longer guaranteed by the returned collection. Use map(Collection, Iterable, Function) where you can provide the required target collection in cases where these restrictions are required.

Type Parameters:

T - target type

S - source type

Parameters:

collection - original collection

mapper - mapper which creates the element type of the result collection

Returns:

unmodifiable collection with adapted element typee

makeFactory

public static <T> Factory<T> makeFactory(java.lang.Class<T> type)

Create a factory from a type.

The factory will only create new objects if there is an argumentless public default constructor for the given type. This method is thought for highly dynamic situations. In most cases it is recommended to create a factory as an anonymous class:

 // this is BAD style
 Factory<XY> factory1 = Types.makeFactory(XY.class);

 // this is GOOD style
 Factory<XY> factory2 = new Factory<XY>() {
   public XY create() { return new XY(); }
 };
 

Type Parameters:

T - type

Parameters:

type - type info

Returns:

factory using reflection to create new elements

makeArrayFactory

public static <T> ArrayFactory<T> makeArrayFactory(java.lang.Class<T> type)

Create an array factory from a type.

This method is thought for highly dynamic situations. In most cases it is recommended to create a factory as an anonymous class:

 // this is BAD style
 ArrayFactory<XY> factory1 = Types.makeArrayFactory(XY.class);

 // this is GOOD style
 ArrayFactory<XY> factory2 = new ArrayFactory<XY>() {
   public XY[] create(int length) { return new XY[length]; }

str - string which might be null

Returns:

the string if it is not null, the empty string otherwise

notNullOr

@NotNull
public static <T> T notNullOr(@Nullable
                                       T item,

                                       java.util.function.Supplier<? extends T> provider)

Make sure that something is not null, but postpone the fallback creation. This is similar to notNull(Object, Object), but is creating the second defaultObject parameter only when required. This is preferable if creating the object is an expensive process.

Type Parameters:

T - type of nullable value

Parameters:

item - item which is tested for being null

provider - supplier asked to provide a fallback when item is null, required to return non-null object!

Returns:

non-null value, either item if it is not null, or a fallback created by provider

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if provider creates null

                                         java.util.function.Supplier<? extends T> provider)

Try to determine a fallback when a value is null.

This is useful in cases where the fallback creation is expensive. In difference to notNullOr(Object, Supplier) this accepts the fallback provider to return null. Thus, it is necessary to check the result of this method for being null.

Type Parameters:

T - type of nullable value

Parameters:

item - item which is tested for being null

provider - supplier asked to provide a fallback when item is null, allowed to reutn

Returns:

either item if it is not null, or a fallback created by provider
