Class TransformationList<E,F>

java.lang.Object
java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
java.util.AbstractList<E>
javafx.collections.ObservableListBase<E>
javafx.collections.transformation.TransformationList<E,F>
Type Parameters:
E - the type parameter of this list
F - the upper bound of the type of the source list
All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, List<E>, Observable, ObservableList<E>
Direct Known Subclasses:
FilteredList, SortedList

public abstract class TransformationList<E,F> extends ObservableListBase<E> implements ObservableList<E>
A base class for all lists that wraps other lists in a way that changes the list's elements, order, size or generally it's structure. If the source list is observable, a listener is automatically added to it and the events are delegated to sourceChanged(javafx.collections.ListChangeListener.Change)
Since:
JavaFX 8.0
  • Constructor Details

    • TransformationList

      protected TransformationList(ObservableList<? extends F> source)
      Creates a new Transformation list wrapped around the source list.
      Parameters:
      source - the wrapped list
  • Method Details

    • getSource

      public final ObservableList<? extends F> getSource()
      The source list specified in the constructor of this transformation list.
      Returns:
      The List that is directly wrapped by this TransformationList
    • isInTransformationChain

      public final boolean isInTransformationChain(ObservableList<?> list)
      Checks whether the provided list is in the chain under this TransformationList. This means the list is either the direct source as returned by getSource() or the direct source is a TransformationList, and the list is in it's transformation chain.
      Parameters:
      list - the list to check
      Returns:
      true if the list is in the transformation chain as specified above.
    • sourceChanged

      protected abstract void sourceChanged(ListChangeListener.Change<? extends F> c)
      Called when a change from the source is triggered.
      Parameters:
      c - the change
    • getSourceIndex

      public abstract int getSourceIndex(int index)
      Maps the index of this list's element to an index in the direct source list.
      Parameters:
      index - the index in this list
      Returns:
      the index of the element's origin in the source list

    • getSourceIndexFor

      public final int getSourceIndexFor(ObservableList<?> list, int index)
      Maps the index of this list's element to an index of the provided list. The list must be in the transformation chain.
      Parameters:
      list - a list from the transformation chain
      index - the index of an element in this list
      Returns:
      the index of the element's origin in the provided list
      See Also:
    • getViewIndex

      public abstract int getViewIndex(int index)
      Maps the index of the direct source list's element to an index in this list.
      Parameters:
      index - the index in the source list
      Returns:
      the index of the element in this list if it is contained in this list or negative value otherwise
