UnicodeSetIterator
extends Object
java.lang.Object | |
↳ | android.icu.text.UnicodeSetIterator |
UnicodeSetIterator iterates over the contents of a UnicodeSet. It iterates over either code points or code point ranges. After all code points or ranges have been returned, it returns the multicharacter strings of the UnicodeSet, if any.
This class is not intended for public subclassing.
To iterate over code points and multicharacter strings, use a loop like this:
for (UnicodeSetIterator it = new UnicodeSetIterator(set); it.next();) { processString(it.getString()); }
To iterate over code point ranges, use a loop like this:
for (UnicodeSetIterator it = new UnicodeSetIterator(set); it.nextRange();) { if (it.codepoint != UnicodeSetIterator.IS_STRING) { processCodepointRange(it.codepoint, it.codepointEnd); } else { processString(it.getString()); } }
To iterate over only the strings, start with new UnicodeSetIterator(set).skipToStrings()
.
Warning: For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification. Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.
Summary
Fields | |

public
static
int |
IS_STRING
Value of codepoint if the iterator points to a string. |
public
int |
codepoint
Current code point, or the special value IS_STRING, if the iterator points to a string. |
public
int |
codepointEnd
When iterating over ranges using nextRange(), codepointEnd contains the inclusive end of the iteration range, if codepoint != IS_STRING. |

string
If codepoint == IS_STRING, then string points to the current string. |
Public constructors | |

UnicodeSetIterator(UnicodeSet set)
Create an iterator over the given set. |

UnicodeSetIterator()
Create an iterator over nothing. |

String
|
getString()
Gets the current string from the iterator. |

next()
Returns the next element in the set, either a single code point or a string. |

nextRange()
Returns the next element in the set, either a code point range or a string. |

Fields
IS_STRING
public static int IS_STRING
Value of codepoint if the iterator points to a string. If codepoint == IS_STRING, then examine string for the current iteration result.
codepoint
public int codepoint
Current code point, or the special value IS_STRING, if the iterator points to a string.
codepointEnd
public int codepointEnd
When iterating over ranges using nextRange(), codepointEnd contains the inclusive end of the iteration range, if codepoint != IS_STRING. If iterating over code points using next(), or if codepoint == IS_STRING, then the value of codepointEnd is undefined.
string
public String string
If codepoint == IS_STRING, then string points to the current string. If codepoint != IS_STRING, the value of string is undefined.
Public constructors
UnicodeSetIterator
public UnicodeSetIterator (UnicodeSet set)
Create an iterator over the given set.
Parameters | |
---|---|
set |
UnicodeSet : set to iterate over |
UnicodeSetIterator
public UnicodeSetIterator ()
Create an iterator over nothing. next() and nextRange() return false. This is a convenience constructor allowing the target to be set later.
Public methods
getString
public String getString ()
Gets the current string from the iterator. Only use after calling next(), not nextRange().
Returns | |
---|---|
String |
next
public boolean next ()
Returns the next element in the set, either a single code point or a string. If there are no more elements in the set, return false. If codepoint == IS_STRING, the value is a string in the string field. Otherwise the value is a single code point in the codepoint field.
The order of iteration is all code points in sorted order, followed by all strings sorted order. codepointEnd is undefined after calling this method. string is undefined unless codepoint == IS_STRING. Do not mix calls to next() and nextRange() without calling reset() between them. The results of doing so are undefined.
Warning: For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification. Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if there was another element in the set and this object contains the element. |
nextRange
public boolean nextRange ()
Returns the next element in the set, either a code point range or a string. If there are no more elements in the set, return false. If codepoint == IS_STRING, the value is a string in the string field. Otherwise the value is a range of one or more code points from codepoint to codepointeEnd inclusive.
The order of iteration is all code points ranges in sorted order, followed by all strings sorted order. Ranges are disjoint and non-contiguous. string is undefined unless codepoint == IS_STRING. Do not mix calls to next() and nextRange() without calling reset() between them. The results of doing so are undefined.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if there was another element in the set and this object contains the element. |
reset
public void reset (UnicodeSet uset)
Sets this iterator to visit the elements of the given set and resets it to the start of that set. The iterator is valid only so long as set is valid.
Parameters | |
---|---|
uset |
UnicodeSet : the set to iterate over. |
skipToStrings
public UnicodeSetIterator skipToStrings ()
Skips over the remaining code points/ranges, if any. A following call to next() or nextRange() will yield a string, if there is one. No-op if next() would return false, or if it would yield a string anyway.
