AttributesImpl

public class AttributesImpl
extends Object implements Attributes

java.lang.Object
   ↳ org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl


Default implementation of the Attributes interface.

This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

This class provides a default implementation of the SAX2 Attributes interface, with the addition of manipulators so that the list can be modified or reused.

There are two typical uses of this class:

  1. to take a persistent snapshot of an Attributes object in a startElement event; or
  2. to construct or modify an Attributes object in a SAX2 driver or filter.

This class replaces the now-deprecated SAX1 AttributeListImpl class; in addition to supporting the updated Attributes interface rather than the deprecated AttributeList interface, it also includes a much more efficient implementation using a single array rather than a set of Vectors.

Inherited methods

Public constructors

AttributesImpl

Added in API level 1
public AttributesImpl ()

Construct a new, empty AttributesImpl object.

AttributesImpl

Added in API level 1
public AttributesImpl (Attributes atts)

Copy an existing Attributes object.

This constructor is especially useful inside a startElement event.

Parameters
atts Attributes: The existing Attributes object.

Public methods

addAttribute

Added in API level 1
public void addAttribute (String uri, 
                String localName, 
                String qName, 
                String type, 
                String value)

Add an attribute to the end of the list.

For the sake of speed, this method does no checking to see if the attribute is already in the list: that is the responsibility of the application.

Parameters
uri String: The Namespace URI, or the empty string if none is available or Namespace processing is not being performed.

localName String: The local name, or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.

qName String: The qualified (prefixed) name, or the empty string if qualified names are not available.

type String: The attribute type as a string.

value String: The attribute value.

clear

Added in API level 1
public void clear ()

Clear the attribute list for reuse.

Note that little memory is freed by this call: the current array is kept so it can be reused.

getIndex

Added in API level 1
public int getIndex (String qName)

Look up an attribute's index by qualified (prefixed) name.

Parameters
qName String: The qualified name.

Returns
int The attribute's index, or -1 if none matches.

getIndex

Added in API level 1
public int getIndex (String uri, 
                String localName)

Look up an attribute's index by Namespace name.

In many cases, it will be more efficient to look up the name once and use the index query methods rather than using the name query methods repeatedly.

Parameters
uri String: The attribute's Namespace URI, or the empty string if none is available.

localName String: The attribute's local name.

Returns
int The attribute's index, or -1 if none matches.

getLength

Added in API level 1
public int getLength ()

Return the number of attributes in the list.

Returns
int The number of attributes in the list.

Added in API level 1
public String getLocalName (int index)

Return an attribute's local name.

Parameters
index int: The attribute's index (zero-based).

getQName

Added in API level 1
public String getQName (int index)

Return an attribute's qualified (prefixed) name.

Parameters
index int: The attribute's index (zero-based).

Returns
String The attribute's qualified name, the empty string if none is available, or null if the index is out of bounds.

getType

Added in API level 1

Added in API level 1
public String getType (int index)
