A bounded blocking queue backed by an array. This queue orders elements FIFO (first-in-first-out). The head of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the longest time. The tail of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the shortest time. New elements are inserted at the tail of the queue, and the queue retrieval operations obtain elements at the head of the queue.
This is a classic "bounded buffer", in which a
fixed-sized array holds elements inserted by producers and
extracted by consumers. Once created, the capacity cannot be
changed. Attempts to put
an element into a full queue
will result in the operation blocking; attempts to take
an
element from an empty queue will similarly block.
This class supports an optional fairness policy for ordering
waiting producer and consumer threads. By default, this ordering
is not guaranteed. However, a queue constructed with fairness set
to true
grants threads access in FIFO order. Fairness
generally decreases throughput but reduces variability and avoids
starvation.
This class and its iterator implement all of the
optional methods of the Collection
and Iterator
interfaces.

if this queue contains the specified element.
More formally, returns true
if and only if this queue contains
at least one element e
such that o.equals(e)
.

int drainTo (Collection<? super E> c, int maxElements)
Removes at most the given number of available elements from
this queue and adds them to the given collection. A failure
encountered while attempting to add elements to
collection c
may result in elements being in neither,
either or both collections when the associated exception is
thrown. Attempts to drain 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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
c |
Collection :
the collection to transfer elements into |
maxElements |
int :
the maximum number of elements to transfer |
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the number of elements transferred |
Throws | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
|
ClassCastException |
|
NullPointerException |
|
IllegalArgumentException |
int drainTo (Collection<? super E> c)
Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them
to the given collection. This operation may be more
efficient than repeatedly polling this queue. A failure
encountered while attempting to add elements to
collection c
may result in elements being in neither,
either or both collections when the associated exception is
thrown. Attempts to drain 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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
c |
Collection :
the collection to transfer elements into |
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the number of elements transferred |
Throws | |
---|---|

Iterator<E> iterator ()
Returns an iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence. The elements will be returned in order from first (head) to last (tail).
The returned iterator is weakly consistent.
Returns | |
---|---|
Iterator<E> |
an iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence |
boolean offer (E e)
Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue if it is
possible to do so immediately without exceeding the queue's capacity,
returning true
upon success and false
if this queue
is full. This method is generally preferable to method add(E)
,
which can fail to insert an element only by throwing an exception.
Parameters | |

e |
E :
the element to add |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the element was added to this queue, else
false |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if the specified element is null |

how long to wait before giving up, in units of
unit |
unit |
TimeUnit :
a TimeUnit determining how to interpret the
timeout parameter |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if successful, or false if
the specified waiting time elapses before space is available |

NullPointerException |
int remainingCapacity ()
Returns the number of additional elements that this queue can ideally
(in the absence of memory or resource constraints) accept without
blocking. This is always equal to the initial capacity of this queue
less the current size
of this queue.
Note that you cannot always tell if an attempt to insert
an element will succeed by inspecting remainingCapacity
because it may be the case that another thread is about to
insert or remove an element.
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the remaining capacity |
boolean remove (Object o)
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue,
if it is present. More formally, removes an element e
such
that o.equals(e)
, if this queue contains one or more such
elements.
Returns true
if this queue contained the specified element
(or equivalently, if this queue changed as a result of the call).
Removal of interior elements in circular array based queues is an intrinsically slow and disruptive operation, so should be undertaken only in exceptional circumstances, ideally only when the queue is known not to be accessible by other threads.
Parameters | |
---|---|
o |
Object :
element to be removed from this queue, if present |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if this queue changed as a result of the call
|
int size ()
Returns the number of elements in this queue.
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the number of elements in this queue |
Spliterator<E> spliterator ()
Returns a Spliterator
over the elements in this queue.
The returned spliterator is weakly consistent.
The Spliterator
reports CONCURRENT
,
ORDERED
, and NONNULL
.
Spliterator
implements trySplit
to permit limited
parallelism.Returns | |
---|---|
Spliterator<E> |
a Spliterator over the elements in this queue |
E take ()
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary until an element becomes available.
Returns | |
---|---|
E |
the head of this queue |
Throws | |
---|---|
InterruptedException |
T[] toArray (T[] a)
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in proper sequence; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the queue fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this queue.
If this queue fits in the specified array with room to spare
(i.e., the array has more elements than this queue), the element in
the array immediately following the end of the queue is set to
null
.
Like the toArray()
method, this method acts as bridge between
array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows
precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may,
under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.
Suppose x
is a queue known to contain only strings.
The following code can be used to dump the queue into a newly
allocated array of String
:
String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
Note that toArray(new Object[0])
is identical in function to
toArray()
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
a |
T :
the array into which the elements of the queue are to
be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the
same runtime type is allocated for this purpose |
Returns | |
---|---|
T[] |
an array containing all of the elements in this queue |
Throws | |
---|---|
ArrayStoreException |
if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this queue |
NullPointerException |
if the specified array is null |
Object[] toArray ()
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in proper sequence.
The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this queue. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
Returns | |
---|---|
Object[] |
an array containing all of the elements in this queue |
String toString ()
Returns a string representation of this collection. The string
representation consists of a list of the collection's elements in the
order they are returned by its iterator, enclosed in square brackets
("[]"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters
", " (comma and space). Elements are converted to strings as
by valueOf(Object)
.
Returns | |
---|---|
String |
a string representation of this collection |
