Class Overview

A buffer of shorts.

A short buffer can be created in either of the following ways:

  • Allocate a new short array and create a buffer based on it;
  • Wrap an existing short array to create a new buffer;
  • Use ByteBuffer.asShortBuffer to create a short buffer based on a byte buffer.

Public Methods

public static ShortBuffer allocate (int capacity)

Since: API Level 1

Creates a short buffer based on a newly allocated short array.

Parameters
capacity the capacity of the new buffer.
Returns
  • the created short buffer.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if capacity is less than zero.

public final short[] array ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns the short array which this buffer is based on, if there is one.

Returns
  • the short array which this buffer is based on.
Throws
ReadOnlyBufferException if this buffer is based on an array, but it is read-only.
UnsupportedOperationException if this buffer is not based on an array.

public final int arrayOffset ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns the offset of the short array which this buffer is based on, if there is one.

The offset is the index of the array corresponding to the zero position of the buffer.

Returns
  • the offset of the short array which this buffer is based on.
Throws
ReadOnlyBufferException if this buffer is based on an array, but it is read-only.
UnsupportedOperationException if this buffer is not based on an array.

public abstract ShortBuffer asReadOnlyBuffer ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns a read-only buffer that shares its content with this buffer.

The returned buffer is guaranteed to be a new instance, even if this buffer is read-only itself. The new buffer's position, limit, capacity and mark are the same as this buffer's.

The new buffer shares its content with this buffer, which means this buffer's change of content will be visible to the new buffer. The two buffer's position, limit and mark are independent.

Returns
  • a read-only version of this buffer.

public abstract ShortBuffer compact ()

Since: API Level 1

Compacts this short buffer.

The remaining shorts will be moved to the head of the buffer, starting from position zero. Then the position is set to remaining(); the limit is set to capacity; the mark is cleared.

Returns
  • this buffer.
Throws
ReadOnlyBufferException if no changes may be made to the contents of this buffer.

public int compareTo (ShortBuffer otherBuffer)

Since: API Level 1

Compare the remaining shorts of this buffer to another short buffer's remaining shorts.

Parameters
otherBuffer another short buffer.
Returns
  • a negative value if this is less than otherBuffer; 0 if this equals to otherBuffer; a positive value if this is greater than otherBuffer.
Throws
ClassCastException if otherBuffer is not a short buffer.

public abstract ShortBuffer duplicate ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns a duplicated buffer that shares its content with this buffer.

The duplicated buffer's position, limit, capacity and mark are the same as this buffer. The duplicated buffer's read-only property and byte order are the same as this buffer's.

The new buffer shares its content with this buffer, which means either buffer's change of content will be visible to the other. The two buffer's position, limit and mark are independent.

Returns
  • a duplicated buffer that shares its content with this buffer.

public boolean equals (Object other)

Since: API Level 1

Checks whether this short buffer is equal to another object.

If other is not a short buffer then false is returned. Two short buffers are equal if and only if their remaining shorts are exactly the same. Position, limit, capacity and mark are not considered.

Parameters
other the object to compare with this short buffer.
Returns
  • true if this short buffer is equal to other, false otherwise.

public abstract short get ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns the short at the current position and increases the position by 1.

Returns
  • the short at the current position.
Throws
BufferUnderflowException if the position is equal or greater than limit.

public abstract short get (int index)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the short at the specified index; the position is not changed.

Parameters
index the index, must not be negative and less than limit.
Returns
  • a short at the specified index.
Throws
IndexOutOfBoundsException if index is invalid.

public ShortBuffer get (short[] dest)

Since: API Level 1

Reads shorts from the current position into the specified short array and increases the position by the number of shorts read.

Calling this method has the same effect as get(dest, 0, dest.length).

Parameters
dest the destination short array.
Returns
  • this buffer.
Throws
BufferUnderflowException if dest.length is greater than remaining().

public ShortBuffer get (short[] dest, int off, int len)

Since: API Level 1

Reads shorts from the current position into the specified short array, starting from the specified offset, and increases the position by the number of shorts read.

Parameters
dest the target short array.
off the offset of the short array, must not be negative and not greater than dest.length.
len the number of shorts to read, must be no less than zero and not greater than dest.length - off.
Returns
  • this buffer.
Throws
IndexOutOfBoundsException if either off or len is invalid.
BufferUnderflowException if len is greater than remaining().

public final boolean hasArray ()

Since: API Level 1

Indicates whether this buffer is based on a short array and is read/write.

Returns
  • true if this buffer is based on a short array and provides read/write access, false otherwise.

public int hashCode ()

Since: API Level 1

Calculates this buffer's hash code from the remaining chars. The position, limit, capacity and mark don't affect the hash code.

Returns
  • the hash code calculated from the remaining shorts.

public abstract boolean isDirect ()

Since: API Level 1

Indicates whether this buffer is direct. A direct buffer will try its best to take advantage of native memory APIs and it may not stay in the Java heap, so it is not affected by garbage collection.

A short buffer is direct if it is based on a byte buffer and the byte buffer is direct.

Returns
  • true if this buffer is direct, false otherwise.

public abstract ByteOrder order ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns the byte order used by this buffer when converting shorts from/to bytes.

If this buffer is not based on a byte buffer, then always return the platform's native byte order.

Returns
  • the byte order used by this buffer when converting shorts from/to bytes.

public ShortBuffer put (ShortBuffer src)

Since: API Level 1

Writes all the remaining shorts of the src short buffer to this buffer's current position, and increases both buffers' position by the number of shorts copied.

Parameters
src the source short buffer.
Returns
  • this buffer.
Throws
BufferOverflowException if src.remaining() is greater than this buffer's remaining().
IllegalArgumentException if src is this buffer.
ReadOnlyBufferException if no changes may be made to the contents of this buffer.

public abstract ShortBuffer put (int index, short s)

Since: API Level 1

Writes a short to the specified index of this buffer; the position is not changed.

Parameters
index the index, must not be negative and less than the limit.
s the short to write.

off the offset of short array, must not be negative and not greater than src.length.
len the number of shorts to write, must be no less than zero and not greater than src.length - off.
Returns
  • this buffer.
Throws
BufferOverflowException if remaining() is less than len.
IndexOutOfBoundsException if either off or len is invalid.
ReadOnlyBufferException if no changes may be made to the contents of this buffer.

public abstract ShortBuffer put (short s)

Since: API Level 1

Writes the given short to the current position and increases the position by 1.

Throws
BufferOverflowException if remaining() is less than src.length.
ReadOnlyBufferException if no changes may be made to the contents of this buffer.

public abstract ShortBuffer slice ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns a sliced buffer that shares its content with this buffer.

The sliced buffer's capacity will be this buffer's remaining(), and its zero position will correspond to this buffer's current position. The new buffer's position will be 0, limit will be its capacity, and its mark is cleared. The new buffer's read-only property and byte order are same as this buffer's.

The new buffer shares its content with this buffer, which means either buffer's change of content will be visible to the other. The two buffer's position, limit and mark are independent.

Returns
  • a sliced buffer that shares its content with this buffer.
