public CircularBuffer(int bufferSize)

Creates a circular buffer.

Parameters:

bufferSize - size of circular buffer.

Method Detail

setBufferSize

public final void setBufferSize(int bufferSize)

Sets the buffer size of the circular buffer. Any items currently in the buffer are discarded.

Parameters:

bufferSize - size of circular buffer.

add

public void add(java.lang.Object obj)

Adds the given item to the buffer. If the buffer is full then the oldest item in the buffer is removed.

Parameters:

obj - item to be added.

getBufferItems

public java.lang.Object[] getBufferItems()

Returns:

A new array of objects.

getStrBufferItems

public java.lang.String[] getStrBufferItems()

Returns an array containing string items in the buffer in the order in which they were entered. The 'toString()' method is used to convert each item to a string.

Returns:

A new array of strings.

getBufferItemsAsString

public java.lang.String getBufferItemsAsString(java.lang.String sepStr)

Returns a string containing items in the buffer in the order in which they were entered. The 'toString()' method is used to convert each item to a string.

Parameters:

sepStr - separator to be placed between each item.

Returns:

getTotalItemsCount

public long getTotalItemsCount()

Returns a count of the total number of items that have ever been entered into the buffer.

Returns:

A count of the total number of items that have ever been entered into the buffer.

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.Object obj)
