An unbounded blocking queue of
Delayed
elements, in which an element can only be taken
when its delay has expired. The head of the queue is that
Delayed
element whose delay expired furthest in the
past. If no delay has expired there is no head and poll
will return null
. Expiration occurs when an element's
getDelay(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS)
method returns a value less
than or equal to zero. Even though unexpired elements cannot be
removed using take
or poll
, they are otherwise
treated as normal elements. For example, the size
method
returns the count of both expired and unexpired elements.
This queue does not permit null elements.
This class and its iterator implement all of the
optional methods of the Collection
and Iterator
interfaces. The Iterator provided in method iterator()
is not guaranteed to traverse the elements of
the DelayQueue in any particular order.

DelayQueue (Collection<? extends E> c)
Creates a DelayQueue
initially containing the elements of the
given collection of Delayed
instances.
Parameters | |
---|---|
c |
Collection :
the collection of elements to initially contain |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if the specified collection or any of its elements are null |
boolean add (E e)
Inserts the specified element into this delay queue.
Parameters | |
---|---|
e |
E :
the element to add |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true (as specified by add(E) ) |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if the specified element is null |
void clear ()
Atomically removes all of the elements from this delay queue. The queue will be empty after this call returns. Elements with an unexpired delay are not waited for; they are simply discarded from the queue.
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 | |
---|---|
UnsupportedOperationException |
|
ClassCastException |
|
NullPointerException |
|
IllegalArgumentException |
Iterator<E> iterator ()
Returns an iterator over all the elements (both expired and unexpired) in this queue. The iterator does not return the elements in any particular order.
The returned iterator is weakly consistent.
Returns | |
---|---|
Iterator<E> |
an iterator over the elements in this queue |
boolean offer (E e)
Inserts the specified element into this delay queue.
Parameters | |
---|---|
e |
E :
the element to add |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if the specified element is null |
boolean offer (E e, long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
Inserts the specified element into this delay queue. As the queue is unbounded this method will never block.
Parameters | |
---|---|
e |
E :
the element to add |
timeout |
long :
This parameter is ignored as the method never blocks |
unit |
TimeUnit :
This parameter is ignored as the method never blocks |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
E peek ()
Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue, or
returns null
if this queue is empty. Unlike
poll
, if no expired elements are available in the queue,
this method returns the element that will expire next,
if one exists.
Returns | |
---|---|
E |
the head of this queue, or null if this
queue is empty
|
E poll (long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary until an element with an expired delay is available on this queue, or the specified wait time expires.
Parameters | |
---|---|
timeout |
long :
how long to wait before giving up, in units of
unit |
unit |
TimeUnit :
a TimeUnit determining how to interpret the
timeout parameter |
Returns | |
---|---|
E |
the head of this queue, or null if the
specified waiting time elapses before an element with
an expired delay becomes available |
Throws | |
---|---|
InterruptedException |
E poll ()
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, or returns null
if this queue has no elements with an expired delay.
Returns | |
---|---|
E |
the head of this queue, or null if this
queue has no elements with an expired delay
|
void put (E e)
Inserts the specified element into this delay queue. As the queue is unbounded this method will never block.
Parameters | |
---|---|
e |
E :
the element to add |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
int remainingCapacity ()
Always returns Integer.MAX_VALUE
because
a DelayQueue
is not capacity constrained.
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
Integer.MAX_VALUE
|
boolean remove (Object o)
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present, whether or not it has expired.
Parameters | |
---|---|
o |
Object :
element to be removed from this collection, if present |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if an element was removed as a result of this call |
int size ()
Returns the number of elements in this collection. If this collection contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the number of elements in this collection |
E take ()
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary until an element with an expired delay is available on this queue.
Returns | |
---|---|
E |
the head of this queue |
Throws | |
---|---|
InterruptedException |
T[] toArray (T[] a)
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. The returned array elements are in no particular order. 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.
The following code can be used to dump a delay queue into a newly
allocated array of Delayed
:
Delayed[] a = q.toArray(new Delayed[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. The returned array elements are in no particular order.
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 |
