Class StringContent
- java.lang.Object
-
- javax.swing.text.StringContent
- All Implemented Interfaces:
-
Serializable
,AbstractDocument.Content
public final class StringContent extends Object implements AbstractDocument.Content, Serializable
An implementation of the AbstractDocument.Content interface that is a brute force implementation that is useful for relatively small documents and/or debugging. It manages the character content as a simple character array. It is also quite inefficient.
It is generally recommended that the gap buffer or piece table implementations be used instead. This buffer does not scale up to large sizes.
Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beans
package. Please see XMLEncoder

Constructor Detail
StringContent
public StringContent()
Creates a new StringContent object. Initial size defaults to 10.
StringContent
public StringContent(int initialLength)
Creates a new StringContent object, with the initial size specified. If the length is < 1, a size of 1 is used.
- Parameters:
-
initialLength
- the initial size
Method Detail
length
public int length()
Returns the length of the content.
- Specified by:
-
length
in interfaceAbstractDocument.Content
- Returns:
- the length >= 1
- See Also:
AbstractDocument.Content.length()
insertString
public UndoableEdit insertString(int where, String str) throws BadLocationException
Inserts a string into the content.
- Specified by:
-
insertString
in interfaceAbstractDocument.Content
- Parameters:

where
- the starting position >= 0 && < length() -
str
- the non-null string to insert - Returns:
- an UndoableEdit object for undoing
- Throws:
-
BadLocationException
- if the specified position is invalid - See Also:
AbstractDocument.Content.insertString(int, java.lang.String)
remove
public UndoableEdit remove(int where, int nitems) throws BadLocationException
Removes part of the content. where + nitems must be < length().
- Specified by:
-
remove
in interfaceAbstractDocument.Content
- Parameters:
-
where
- the starting position >= 0 -
nitems
- the number of characters to remove >= 0 - Returns:
- an UndoableEdit object for undoing
- Throws:
-
BadLocationException
- if the specified position is invalid - See Also:
AbstractDocument.Content.remove(int, int)
getString
public String getString(int where, int len) throws BadLocationException
Retrieves a portion of the content. where + len must be <= length().
- Specified by:
-
getString
in interfaceAbstractDocument.Content
- Parameters:
-
where

AbstractDocument.Content.getString(int, int)
getChars
public void getChars(int where, int len, Segment chars) throws BadLocationException
Retrieves a portion of the content. where + len must be <= length()
- Specified by:
-
getChars
in interfaceAbstractDocument.Content
- Parameters:
-
where
- the starting position >= 0 -
len
- the number of characters to retrieve >= 0 -
chars
- the Segment object to return the characters in - Throws:
-
BadLocationException
- if the specified position is invalid - See Also:
AbstractDocument.Content.getChars(int, int, javax.swing.text.Segment)
createPosition
public Position createPosition(int offset) throws BadLocationException
Creates a position within the content that will track change as the content is mutated.
- Specified by:
-
createPosition
in interfaceAbstractDocument.Content
- Parameters:
-
offset
- the offset to create a position for >= 0 - Returns:
- the position
- Throws:
-
BadLocationException
- if the specified position is invalid
getPositionsInRange
protected Vector getPositionsInRange(Vector v, int offset, int length)
Returns a Vector containing instances of UndoPosRef for the Positions in the range offset
to offset
+ length
. If v
is not null the matching Positions are placed in there. The vector with the resulting Positions are returned.
This is meant for internal usage, and is generally not of interest to subclasses.
- Parameters:
-
v
- the Vector to use, with a new one created on null -
offset
- the starting offset >= 0 -
length
- the length >= 0 - Returns:
- the set of instances
updateUndoPositions
protected void updateUndoPositions(Vector positions)
Resets the location for all the UndoPosRef instances in positions
.
This is meant for internal usage, and is generally not of interest to subclasses.
- Parameters:
-
positions
- the positions of the instances
