AbstractQueue

public abstract class AbstractQueue extends AbstractCollection<E>
implements Queue<E>

Known Direct Subclasses ArrayBlockingQueue<E>, ConcurrentLinkedQueue<E>, DelayQueue<E extends Delayed>, LinkedBlockingDeque<E>, LinkedBlockingQueue<E>, LinkedTransferQueue<E>, PriorityBlockingQueue<E>, PriorityQueue<E>, SynchronousQueue<E> ArrayBlockingQueue<E> A bounded {@linkplain BlockingQueue blocking queue} backed by an array.  ConcurrentLinkedQueue<E> An unbounded thread-safe {@linkplain Queue queue} based on linked nodes.  DelayQueue<E extends Delayed> An unbounded {@linkplain BlockingQueue blocking queue} of Delayed elements, in which an element can only be taken when its delay has expired.  LinkedBlockingDeque<E> An optionally-bounded {@linkplain BlockingDeque blocking deque} based on linked nodes.  LinkedBlockingQueue<E> An optionally-bounded {@linkplain BlockingQueue blocking queue} based on linked nodes.  LinkedTransferQueue<E> An unbounded TransferQueue based on linked nodes.  PriorityBlockingQueue<E> An unbounded {@linkplain BlockingQueue blocking queue} that uses the same ordering rules as class PriorityQueue and supplies blocking retrieval operations.  PriorityQueue<E> An unbounded priority {@linkplain Queue queue} based on a priority heap.  SynchronousQueue<E> A {@linkplain BlockingQueue blocking queue} in which each insert operation must wait for a corresponding remove operation by another thread, and vice versa.

This class provides skeletal implementations of some Queue operations. The implementations in this class are appropriate when the base implementation does not allow null elements. Methods add, remove, and element are based on offer, poll, and peek, respectively, but throw exceptions instead of indicating failure via false or null returns.

A Queue implementation that extends this class must minimally define a method Queue.offer(E) which does not permit insertion of null elements, along with methods Queue.peek(), Queue.poll(), Collection.size(), and Collection.iterator(). Typically, additional methods will be overridden as well. If these requirements cannot be met, consider instead subclassing AbstractCollection.

Public Methods

public boolean add (E e)

Inserts the specified element into this queue if it is possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions, returning true upon success and throwing an IllegalStateException if no space is currently available.

This implementation returns true if offer succeeds, else throws an IllegalStateException.

Parameters

e	the element to add

Returns

• true (as specified by Collection.add(E))

Throws

IllegalStateException	if the element cannot be added at this time due to capacity restrictions
ClassCastException	if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this queue
NullPointerException	if the specified element is null and this queue does not permit null elements
IllegalArgumentException	if some property of this element prevents it from being added to this queue

public boolean addAll (Collection<? extends E> c)

Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this queue. Attempts to addAll of a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

This implementation iterates over the specified collection, and adds each element returned by the iterator to this queue, in turn. A runtime exception encountered while trying to add an element (including, in particular, a null element) may result in only some of the elements having been successfully added when the associated exception is thrown.

Parameters

c	collection containing elements to be added to this queue

Returns

• true if this queue changed as a result of the call

Throws

ClassCastException	if the class of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this queue
NullPointerException	if the specified collection contains a null element and this queue does not permit null elements, or if the specified collection is null
IllegalArgumentException	if some property of an element of the specified collection prevents it from being added to this queue, or if the specified collection is this queue
IllegalStateException	if not all the elements can be added at this time due to insertion restrictions

See Also

• add(Object)

public void clear ()

Removes all of the elements from this queue. The queue will be empty after this call returns.

This implementation repeatedly invokes poll until it returns null.

public E element ()

Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue. This method differs from peek only in that it throws an exception if this queue is empty.

This implementation returns the result of peek unless the queue is empty.

Returns

• the head of this queue

Throws

NoSuchElementException	if this queue is empty

public E remove ()

Retrieves and removes the head of this queue. This method differs from poll only in that it throws an exception if this queue is empty.

This implementation returns the result of poll unless the queue is empty.

Returns

• the head of this queue

Throws

NoSuchElementException	if this queue is empty
