LruCache

public class LruCache<K extends Object, V extends Object>


Static library version of android.util.LruCache. Used to write apps that run on API levels prior to 12. When running on API level 12 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework SDK documentation for a class overview.

LruCache

public <K extends Object, V extends Object> LruCache(
    @IntRange(from = 1, to = 9223372036854775807) int maxSize
)

Creates a new LruCache

Parameters
@IntRange(from = 1, to = 9223372036854775807) int maxSize

for caches that do not override sizeOf, this is the maximum number of entries in the cache. For all other caches, this is the maximum sum of the sizes of the entries in this cache.

Public methods

createCount

Added in 1.0.0
public final int createCount()

Returns the number of times create returned a value.

evictAll

Added in 1.0.0
public final void evictAll()

Clear the cache, calling entryRemoved on each removed entry.

evictionCount

Added in 1.0.0
public final int evictionCount()

Returns the number of values that have been evicted.

get

Added in 1.0.0
public final V get(@NonNull K key)

Returns the value for key if it exists in the cache or can be created by create. If a value was returned, it is moved to the head of the queue. This returns null if a value is not cached and cannot be created.

hitCount

Added in 1.0.0
public final int hitCount()

Returns the number of times get returned a value that was already present in the cache.

maxSize

Added in 1.0.0
public final int maxSize()

For caches that do not override sizeOf, this returns the maximum number of entries in the cache. For all other caches, this returns the maximum sum of the sizes of the entries in this cache.

missCount

Added in 1.0.0
public final int missCount()

Returns the number of times get returned null or required a new value to be created.

put

Added in 1.0.0
public final V put(@NonNull K key, @NonNull V value)

Caches value for key. The value is moved to the head of the queue.

Returns
V

the previous value mapped by key.

putCount

Added in 1.0.0
public final int putCount()

Returns the number of times put was called.

remove

Added in 1.0.0
public final V remove(@NonNull K key)

Removes the entry for key if it exists.

Returns
V

the previous value mapped by key.

resize

Added in 1.0.0
public void resize(@IntRange(from = 1, to = 9223372036854775807) int maxSize)

Sets the size of the cache.

Parameters
@IntRange(from = 1, to = 9223372036854775807) int maxSize

The new maximum size.

size

Added in 1.0.0
public final int size()

For caches that do not override sizeOf, this returns the number of entries in the cache. For all other caches, this returns the sum of the sizes of the entries in this cache.

snapshot

Added in 1.0.0
public final @NonNull Map<@NonNull K, @NonNull V> snapshot()

Returns a mutable copy of the current contents of the cache, ordered from least recently accessed to most recently accessed.

toString

Added in 1.0.0
public @NonNull String toString()

trimToSize

Added in 1.0.0
public void trimToSize(int maxSize)

Remove the eldest entries until the total of remaining entries is at or below the requested size.

Parameters
int maxSize

the maximum size of the cache before returning. May be -1 to evict even 0-sized elements.

Protected methods

create

Added in 1.0.0
protected V create(@NonNull K key)

Called after a cache miss to compute a value for the corresponding key. Returns the computed value or null if no value can be computed. The default implementation returns null.

The method is called without synchronization: other threads may access the cache while this method is executing.

If a value for key exists in the cache when this method returns, the created value will be released with entryRemoved and discarded. This can occur when multiple threads request the same key at the same time (causing multiple values to be created), or when one thread calls put while another is creating a value for the same key.

entryRemoved

Added in 1.0.0
protected void entryRemoved(
    boolean evicted,
    @NonNull K key,
    @NonNull V oldValue,
    V newValue
)

Called for entries that have been evicted or removed. This method is invoked when a value is evicted to make space, removed by a call to remove, or replaced by a call to put. The default implementation does nothing.

The method is called without synchronization: other threads may access the cache while this method is executing.

Parameters
boolean evicted

true if the entry is being removed to make space, false if the removal was caused by a put or remove.

V newValue

the new value for key, if it exists. If non-null, this removal was caused by a put. Otherwise it was caused by an eviction or a remove.

sizeOf

Added in 1.0.0
protected int sizeOf(@NonNull K key, @NonNull V value)

Returns the size of the entry for key and value in user-defined units. The default implementation returns 1 so that size is the number of entries and max size is the maximum number of entries.

An entry's size must not change while it is in the cache.
