Enum ArrayValueHandler

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static ArrayValueHandler[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (ArrayValueHandler c : ArrayValueHandler.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static ArrayValueHandler valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • getValue

        public abstract Object getValue​(String value)
        Converts the string value to a value for the type of array. So for a double[] this would convert it to a Double.
        Parameters:
        value - the string value of the array element
        Returns:
        the converted value

      • createArray

        public Object createArray​(String arrayType,
                          int size)
        Creates an array of the specified type and size.
        Parameters:
        arrayType - the type of the array
        size - the size of the array
        Returns:
        an array of the specified type and size or null if the creation failed

      • handles

        public boolean handles​(String arrayType)
        Retrieves if this handler handles the specified type of array.
        Parameters:
        arrayType - the type of the array (the toString of the array's class)
        Returns:
        if it handles the type

      • getHandler

        public static ArrayValueHandler getHandler​(String arrayType)
        Retrieves a handler for the specified array type.
        Parameters:
        arrayType - the type of the array
        Returns:
        a handler that handles the specified type, or null if no handler handles that type

      • readArray

        public static Object readArray​(String arrayType,
                               String arrayString,
                               char delimiter)
        Reads in an array from the given array string and returns it. This uses the given delimiter to differentiate between elements of the array.

        For string arrays, this expects that each element of the array be enclosed in qoutation marks. So if your array is new String[] { "a", "b" } the passed in string should be like ""a", "b"".

        Parameters:
        arrayType - the type of the array, given by type[].class.getName() (for example double[].class.getName())
        arrayString - the string representing the array
        delimiter - the delimiter between array elements
        Returns:
        the read in array of the given type

      • writeArray

        public static String writeArray​(Object array,
                                char delimiter)
        Writes an array of a type to a String. This will use the toString method on the array elements to get the value for each element, and will insert between elements the given delimiter followed by a space.

        For string arrays, this will enclose each element of the array in qoutation marks. So if your array is new String[] { "a", "b" } the resultant string will be like ""a", "b"".

        Parameters:
        array - the array to turn into a string
        delimiter - the delimiter between array elements
        Returns:
        a string representation of the specified array
