Class IntBuffer
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<IntBuffer>
This class defines four categories of operations upon int buffers:
Absolute and relative
get
andput
methods that read and write single ints;Absolute and relative
bulk get
methods that transfer contiguous sequences of ints from this buffer into an array;Absolute and relative
bulk put
methods that transfer contiguous sequences of ints from an int array or some other int buffer into this buffer;A method for
compacting
an int buffer.
Int buffers can be created either by allocation
, which allocates space for the buffer's
content, by wrapping
an existing
int array into a buffer, or by creating a
view of an existing byte buffer.
Like a byte buffer, an int buffer is either direct or non-direct. A
int buffer created via the wrap
methods of this class will
be non-direct. An int buffer created as a view of a byte buffer will
be direct if, and only if, the byte buffer itself is direct. Whether or not
an int buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the isDirect
method.
Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked. This allows method invocations to be chained.
Optional operations
Methods specified as optional operations throw a ReadOnlyBufferException when invoked on a read-only IntBuffer. The methods array and arrayOffset throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the IntBuffer is not backed by an accessible int array (irrespective of whether the IntBuffer is read-only).- Since:

slice
Creates a new int buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content.The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current position. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of ints remaining in this buffer, its mark will be undefined, and its byte order will be identical to that of this buffer. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

index
in this buffer, and will containlength
elements. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be
length
, its mark will be undefined, and its byte order will be identical to that of this buffer. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.- Specified by:

duplicate
Creates a new int buffer that shares this buffer's content.The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's capacity, limit, position, mark values, and byte order will be identical to those of this buffer. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.
-
asReadOnlyBuffer
Creates a new, read-only int buffer that shares this buffer's content.The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer; the new buffer itself, however, will be read-only and will not allow the shared content to be modified. The two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's capacity, limit, position, mark values, and byte order will be identical to those of this buffer.

is thrown.Otherwise, this method copies n =
src.remaining()
ints from the given buffer into this buffer, starting at each buffer's current position. The positions of both buffers are then incremented by n.In other words, an invocation of this method of the form

-
hasArray
public final boolean hasArray()Tells whether or not this buffer is backed by an accessible int array.If this method returns
true
then thearray
andarrayOffset
methods may safely be invoked. -
array
public final int[] array()Returns the int array that backs this buffer (optional operation).Modifications to this buffer's content will cause the returned array's content to be modified, and vice versa.
Invoke the
hasArray
method before invoking this method in order to ensure that this buffer has an accessible backing array.- Specified by:
array
in classBuffer
- Returns:
- The array that backs this buffer
- Throws:
ReadOnlyBufferException
- If this buffer is backed by an array but is read-onlyUnsupportedOperationException
- If this buffer is not backed by an accessible array
-
arrayOffset
public final int arrayOffset()Returns the offset within this buffer's backing array of the first element of the buffer (optional operation).If this buffer is backed by an array then buffer position p corresponds to array index p +
arrayOffset()
.Invoke the
hasArray
method before invoking this method in order to ensure that this buffer has an accessible backing array.- Specified by:
arrayOffset
in classBuffer
- Returns:
- The offset within this buffer's array of the first element of the buffer
- Throws:
ReadOnlyBufferException
- If this buffer is backed by an array but is read-onlyUnsupportedOperationException
- If this buffer is not backed by an accessible array
-
position
Sets this buffer's position. If the mark is defined and larger than the new position then it is discarded. -
limit
Sets this buffer's limit. If the position is larger than the new limit then it is set to the new limit. If the mark is defined and larger than the new limit then it is discarded. -
mark
-
reset
-
clear
Clears this buffer. The position is set to zero, the limit is set to the capacity, and the mark is discarded.Invoke this method before using a sequence of channel-read or put operations to fill this buffer. For example:
buf.clear(); // Prepare buffer for reading in.read(buf); // Read data
This method does not actually erase the data in the buffer, but it is named as if it did because it will most often be used in situations in which that might as well be the case.
-
flip
Flips this buffer. The limit is set to the current position and then the position is set to zero. If the mark is defined then it is discarded.After a sequence of channel-read or put operations, invoke this method to prepare for a sequence of channel-write or relative get operations. For example:
buf.put(magic); // Prepend header in.read(buf); // Read data into rest of buffer buf.flip(); // Flip buffer out.write(buf); // Write header + data to channel
This method is often used in conjunction with the
compact
method when transferring data from one place to another. -
rewind
Rewinds this buffer. The position is set to zero and the mark is discarded.Invoke this method before a sequence of channel-write or get operations, assuming that the limit has already been set appropriately. For example:
out.write(buf); // Write remaining data buf.rewind(); // Rewind buffer buf.get(array); // Copy data into array
-
compact
Compacts this buffer (optional operation).The ints between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the int at index p =
position()
is copied to index zero, the int at index p + 1 is copied to index one, and so forth until the int at indexlimit()
- 1 is copied to index n =limit()
-1
- p. The buffer's position is then set to n+1 and its limit is set to its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.The buffer's position is set to the number of ints copied, rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be followed immediately by an invocation of another relative put method.
- Returns:
- This buffer
- Throws:
ReadOnlyBufferException
- If this buffer is read-only
-
isDirect
-
toString
-
hashCode
public int hashCode()Returns the current hash code of this buffer.The hash code of a int buffer depends only upon its remaining elements; that is, upon the elements from
position()
up to, and including, the element atlimit()
-1
.Because buffer hash codes are content-dependent, it is inadvisable to use buffers as keys in hash maps or similar data structures unless it is known that their contents will not change.
-
equals
Tells whether or not this buffer is equal to another object.Two int buffers are equal if, and only if,
They have the same element type,
They have the same number of remaining elements, and
The two sequences of remaining elements, considered independently of their starting positions, are pointwise equal.
A int buffer is not equal to any other type of object.
-
compareTo
Compares this buffer to another.Two int buffers are compared by comparing their sequences of remaining elements lexicographically, without regard to the starting position of each sequence within its corresponding buffer. Pairs of
int
elements are compared as if by invokingInteger.compare(int,int)
.A int buffer is not comparable to any other type of object.
- Specified by:
compareTo
in interfaceComparable<IntBuffer>
- Parameters:
that
- the object to be compared.- Returns:
- A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this buffer is less than, equal to, or greater than the given buffer
-
mismatch
Finds and returns the relative index of the first mismatch between this buffer and a given buffer. The index is relative to theposition
of each buffer and will be in the range of 0 (inclusive) up to the smaller of theremaining
elements in each buffer (exclusive).If the two buffers share a common prefix then the returned index is the length of the common prefix and it follows that there is a mismatch between the two buffers at that index within the respective buffers. If one buffer is a proper prefix of the other then the returned index is the smaller of the remaining elements in each buffer, and it follows that the index is only valid for the buffer with the larger number of remaining elements. Otherwise, there is no mismatch.
- Parameters:
that
- The byte buffer to be tested for a mismatch with this buffer- Returns:
- The relative index of the first mismatch between this and the given buffer, otherwise -1 if no mismatch.
- Since:
- 11
-
order
Retrieves this buffer's byte order.The byte order of an int buffer created by allocation or by wrapping an existing
int
array is thenative order
of the underlying hardware. The byte order of an int buffer created as a view of a byte buffer is that of the byte buffer at the moment that the view is created.- Returns:
- This buffer's byte order
-
