interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface
backed by a "random access" data store (such as an array). For sequential
access data (such as a linked list), AbstractSequentialList should
be used in preference to this class.
To implement an unmodifiable list, the programmer needs only to extend
this class and provide implementations for the get(int) and
size() methods.
To implement a modifiable list, the programmer must additionally
override the set(int, E) method (which otherwise
throws an UnsupportedOperationException). If the list is
variable-size the programmer must additionally override the
add(int, E) and remove(int) methods.
The programmer should generally provide a void (no argument) and collection
constructor, as per the recommendation in the Collection interface
specification.
Unlike the other abstract collection implementations, the programmer does
not have to provide an iterator implementation; the iterator and
list iterator are implemented by this class, on top of the "random access"
methods:
get(int),
set(int, E),
add(int, E) and
remove(int).
The documentation for each non-abstract method in this class describes its implementation in detail. Each of these methods may be overridden if the collection being implemented admits a more efficient implementation.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Field Details
-
modCount
protected transient int modCountThe number of times this list has been structurally modified. Structural modifications are those that change the size of the list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.This field is used by the iterator and list iterator implementation returned by the
iteratorandlistIteratormethods. If the value of this field changes unexpectedly, the iterator (or list iterator) will throw aConcurrentModificationExceptionin response to thenext,remove,previous,setoraddoperations. This provides fail-fast behavior, rather than non-deterministic behavior in the face of concurrent modification during iteration.Use of this field by subclasses is optional. If a subclass wishes to provide fail-fast iterators (and list iterators), then it merely has to increment this field in its
add(int, E)andremove(int)methods (and any other methods that it overrides that result in structural modifications to the list). A single call toadd(int, E)orremove(int)must add no more than one to this field, or the iterators (and list iterators) will throw bogusConcurrentModificationExceptions. If an implementation does not wish to provide fail-fast iterators, this field may be ignored.

add
Appends the specified element to the end of this list (optional operation).Lists that support this operation may place limitations on what elements may be added to this list. In particular, some lists will refuse to add null elements, and others will impose restrictions on the type of elements that may be added. List classes should clearly specify in their documentation any restrictions on what elements may be added.

-
addAll
Inserts all of the elements in the specified collection into this list at the specified position (optional operation). Shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (increases their indices). The new elements will appear in this list in the order that they are returned by the specified collection's iterator. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress. (Note that this will occur if the specified collection is this list, and it's nonempty.)- Specified by:
addAllin interfaceList<E>- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation gets an iterator over the specified collection
and iterates over it, inserting the elements obtained from the
iterator into this list at the appropriate position, one at a time,
using
add(int, E). Many implementations will override this method for efficiency.Note that this implementation throws an

iterator
Returns an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence.- Specified by:
iteratorin interfaceCollection<E>- Specified by:
iteratorin interfaceIterable<E>- Specified by:
iteratorin interfaceList<E>- Specified by:
iteratorin classAbstractCollection<E>- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation returns a straightforward implementation of the
iterator interface, relying on the backing list's
size(),get(int), andremove(int)methods.Note that the iterator returned by this method will throw an
UnsupportedOperationExceptionin response to itsremovemethod unless the list'sremove(int)method is overridden.This implementation can be made to throw runtime exceptions in the face of concurrent modification, as described in the specification for the (protected)
modCountfield. - Returns:
- an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence
-
listIterator
Returns a list iterator over the elements in this list (in proper sequence).- Specified by:
listIteratorin interfaceList<E>- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation returns
listIterator(0). - Returns:
- a list iterator over the elements in this list (in proper sequence)
- See Also:
-
listIterator
Returns a list iterator over the elements in this list (in proper sequence), starting at the specified position in the list. The specified index indicates the first element that would be returned by an initial call tonext. An initial call topreviouswould return the element with the specified index minus one.- Specified by:
listIteratorin interfaceList<E>- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation returns a straightforward implementation of the
ListIteratorinterface that extends the implementation of theIteratorinterface returned by theiterator()method. TheListIteratorimplementation relies on the backing list'sget(int),set(int, E),add(int, E)andremove(int)methods.Note that the list iterator returned by this implementation will throw an
UnsupportedOperationExceptionin response to itsremove,setandaddmethods unless the list'sremove(int),set(int, E), andadd(int, E)methods are overridden.This implementation can be made to throw runtime exceptions in the face of concurrent modification, as described in the specification for the (protected)
modCountfield. - Parameters:
index- index of the first element to be returned from the list iterator (by a call tonext)- Returns:
- a list iterator over the elements in this list (in proper sequence), starting at the specified position in the list
- Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException- if the index is out of range (index < 0 || index > size())
-
subList
Returns a view of the portion of this list between the specifiedfromIndex, inclusive, andtoIndex, exclusive. (IffromIndexandtoIndexare equal, the returned list is empty.) The returned list is backed by this list, so non-structural changes in the returned list are reflected in this list, and vice-versa. The returned list supports all of the optional list operations supported by this list.This method eliminates the need for explicit range operations (of the sort that commonly exist for arrays). Any operation that expects a list can be used as a range operation by passing a subList view instead of a whole list. For example, the following idiom removes a range of elements from a list:
Similar idioms may be constructed forlist.subList(from, to).clear();indexOfandlastIndexOf, and all of the algorithms in theCollectionsclass can be applied to a subList.The semantics of the list returned by this method become undefined if the backing list (i.e., this list) is structurally modified in any way other than via the returned list. (Structural modifications are those that change the size of this list, or otherwise perturb it in such a fashion that iterations in progress may yield incorrect results.)
- Specified by:
subListin interfaceList<E>- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation returns a list that subclasses
AbstractList. The subclass stores, in private fields, the size of the subList (which can change over its lifetime), and the expectedmodCountvalue of the backing list. There are two variants of the subclass, one of which implementsRandomAccess. If this list implementsRandomAccessthe returned list will be an instance of the subclass that implementsRandomAccess.The subclass's
set(int, E),get(int),add(int, E),remove(int),addAll(int, Collection)andremoveRange(int, int)methods all delegate to the corresponding methods on the backing abstract list, after bounds-checking the index and adjusting for the offset. TheaddAll(Collection c)method merely returnsaddAll(size, c).The
listIterator(int)method returns a "wrapper object" over a list iterator on the backing list, which is created with the corresponding method on the backing list. Theiteratormethod merely returnslistIterator(), and thesizemethod merely returns the subclass'ssizefield.All methods first check to see if the actual
modCountof the backing list is equal to its expected value, and throw aConcurrentModificationExceptionif it is not. - Parameters:
fromIndex- low endpoint (inclusive) of the subListtoIndex- high endpoint (exclusive) of the subList- Returns:
- a view of the specified range within this list
- Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException- if an endpoint index value is out of range(fromIndex < 0 || toIndex > size)IllegalArgumentException- if the endpoint indices are out of order(fromIndex > toIndex)
-
equals
Compares the specified object with this list for equality. Returnstrueif and only if the specified object is also a list, both lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two lists are equal. (Two elementse1ande2are equal if(e1==null ? e2==null : e1.equals(e2)).) In other words, two lists are defined to be equal if they contain the same elements in the same order.- Specified by:
equalsin interfaceCollection<E>- Specified by:
equalsin interfaceList<E>- Overrides:
equalsin classObject- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation first checks if the specified object is this
list. If so, it returns
true; if not, it checks if the specified object is a list. If not, it returnsfalse; if so, it iterates over both lists, comparing corresponding pairs of elements. If any comparison returnsfalse, this method returnsfalse. If either iterator runs out of elements before the other it returnsfalse(as the lists are of unequal length); otherwise it returnstruewhen the iterations complete. - Parameters:
o- the object to be compared for equality with this list- Returns:
trueif the specified object is equal to this list- See Also:
-
hashCode
public int hashCode()Returns the hash code value for this list.- Specified by:
hashCodein interfaceCollection<E>- Specified by:
hashCodein interfaceList<E>- Overrides:
hashCodein classObject- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation uses exactly the code that is used to define the
list hash function in the documentation for the
List.hashCode()method. - Returns:
- the hash code value for this list
- See Also:
-
removeRange
protected void removeRange(int fromIndex, int toIndex) Removes from this list all of the elements whose index is betweenfromIndex, inclusive, andtoIndex, exclusive. Shifts any succeeding elements to the left (reduces their index). This call shortens the list by(toIndex - fromIndex)elements. (IftoIndex==fromIndex, this operation has no effect.)This method is called by the
clearoperation on this list and its subLists. Overriding this method to take advantage of the internals of the list implementation can substantially improve the performance of theclearoperation on this list and its subLists.- Implementation Requirements:
- This implementation gets a list iterator positioned before
fromIndex, and repeatedly callsListIterator.nextfollowed byListIterator.removeuntil the entire range has been removed. Note: ifListIterator.removerequires linear time, this implementation requires quadratic time. - Parameters:
fromIndex- index of first element to be removedtoIndex- index after last element to be removed
-
