Class Overview

A buffer of doubles.

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

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

Public Methods

public static DoubleBuffer allocate (int capacity)

Since: API Level 1

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

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

public final double[] array ()

Since: API Level 1

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

Returns
  • the double 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 double 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 double 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 DoubleBuffer 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 that 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 DoubleBuffer compact ()

Since: API Level 1

Compacts this double buffer.

The remaining doubles will be moved to the head of the buffer, staring 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 (DoubleBuffer otherBuffer)

Since: API Level 1

Compare the remaining doubles of this buffer to another double buffer's remaining doubles.

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

public abstract DoubleBuffer 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's. The duplicated buffer's read-only property and byte order are the same as this buffer's, too.

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 double buffer is equal to another object. If other is not a DoubleBuffer then false is returned.

Two double buffers are equal if their remaining doubles are equal. Position, limit, capacity and mark are not considered.

This method considers two doubles a and b to be equal if a == b or if a and b are both NaN. Unlike equals(Object), this method considers -0.0 and +0.0 to be equal.

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

public abstract double get ()

Since: API Level 1

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

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

public abstract double get (int index)

Since: API Level 1

Returns a double at the specified index; the position is not changed.

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

public DoubleBuffer get (double[] dest, int off, int len)

Since: API Level 1

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

Parameters
dest the target double array.
off the offset of the double array, must not be negative and not greater than dest.length.
len the number of doubles 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 DoubleBuffer get (double[] dest)

Since: API Level 1

Reads doubles from the current position into the specified double array and increases the position by the number of doubles read.

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

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

public final boolean hasArray ()

Since: API Level 1

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

Returns
  • true if this buffer is based on a double 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 chars.

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 double 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 doubles from/to bytes.

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

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

public final DoubleBuffer put (double[] src)

Since: API Level 1

Writes doubles from the given double array to the current position and increases the position by the number of doubles written.

Calling this method has the same effect as put(src, 0, src.length).

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

public DoubleBuffer put (DoubleBuffer src)

Since: API Level 1

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

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

public abstract DoubleBuffer 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 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.
