DelayQueue

open class DelayQueue<E : Delayed!> : AbstractQueue<E>, BlockingQueue<E>

kotlin.Any
↳	java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
	↳	java.util.AbstractQueue<E>
		↳	java.util.concurrent.DelayQueue

An unbounded blocking queue of Delayed elements, in which an element generally becomes eligible for removal when its delay has expired.

An element is considered expired when its getDelay(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS) method would return a value less than or equal to zero.

An element is considered the head of the queue if it is the element with the earliest expiration time, whether in the past or the future, if there is such an element.

An element is considered the expired head of the queue if it is the expired element with the earliest expiration time in the past, if there is such an element. The expired head, when present, is also the head.

While this class implements the BlockingQueue interface, it intentionally violates the general contract of BlockingQueue, in that the following methods disregard the presence of unexpired elements and only ever remove the expired head:

poll()
poll(long,java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)
take()
remove()

All other methods operate on both expired and unexpired elements. For example, the size() method returns the count of all elements. Method peek() may return the (non-null) head even when take() would block waiting for that element to expire.

This queue does not permit null elements.

This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces. The Iterator provided in method #iterator() is not guaranteed to traverse the elements of the DelayQueue in any particular order.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Inherited functions

From class AbstractQueue

Boolean

addAll(elements: Collection<E>)

Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this queue. Attempts to addAll of a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

This implementation iterates over the specified collection, and adds each element returned by the iterator to this queue, in turn. A runtime exception encountered while trying to add an element (including, in particular, a null element) may result in only some of the elements having been successfully added when the associated exception is thrown.

E

element()

Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue. This method differs from peek only in that it throws an exception if this queue is empty.

This implementation returns the result of peek unless the queue is empty.

From class AbstractCollection

`Boolean`	`contains(element: E?)` Returns `true` if this collection contains the specified element. More formally, returns `true` if and only if this collection contains at least one element `e` such that `Objects.equals(o, e)`.
`Boolean`	`containsAll(elements: Collection<E>)` Returns `true` if this collection contains all of the elements in the specified collection.
`Boolean`	`isEmpty()` Returns `true` if this collection contains no elements.
`MutableIterator<E>`	`iterator()` Returns an iterator over the elements contained in this collection.
`Boolean`	`remove(element: E?)` Removes a single instance of the specified element from this collection, if it is present (optional operation). More formally, removes an element `e` such that `Objects.equals(o, e)`, if this collection contains one or more such elements. Returns `true` if this collection contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this collection changed as a result of the call).
`Boolean`	`removeAll(elements: Collection<E>)` Removes all of this collection's elements that are also contained in the specified collection (optional operation). After this call returns, this collection will contain no elements in common with the specified collection.
`Boolean`	`retainAll(elements: Collection<E>)` Retains only the elements in this collection that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). In other words, removes from this collection all of its elements that are not contained in the specified collection.
`Array<Any!>`	`toArray()` Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection. If this collection makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order. The returned array's runtime component type is `Object`. The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this collection. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array even if this collection is backed by an array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
`Array<T>`	`toArray(a: Array<T>)` Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. If the collection fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this collection. If this collection fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this collection), the element in the array immediately following the end of the collection is set to `null`. (This is useful in determining the length of this collection only if the caller knows that this collection does not contain any `null` elements.) If this collection makes any guarantees as to what order its elements are returned by its iterator, this method must return the elements in the same order.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of this collection. The string representation consists of a list of the collection's elements in the order they are returned by its iterator, enclosed in square brackets (`"[]"`). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters `", "` (comma and space). Elements are converted to strings as by `String.valueOf(Object)`.

From class Queue

Boolean

offer(e: E)

Inserts the specified element into this queue if it is possible to do so immediately without violating capacity restrictions. When using a capacity-restricted queue, this method is generally preferable to add, which can fail to insert an element only by throwing an exception.

E?

peek()

Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue, or returns null if this queue is empty.

E?

poll()

Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, or returns null if this queue is empty.

`unit`	TimeUnit!: a `TimeUnit` determining how to interpret the `timeout` parameter

Return
`E`	the expired head of this queue, or `null` if the specified waiting time elapses before an element with an expired delay becomes available

Exceptions
`java.lang.InterruptedException`	if interrupted while waiting

open fun remainingCapacity(): Int

Always returns Integer.MAX_VALUE because a DelayQueue is not capacity constrained.

Return
`Int`	`Integer.MAX_VALUE`

remove

Added in API level 1

open fun remove(): E

Retrieves and removes the expired head of this queue, or throws an exception if this queue has no expired elements.

Return
`E`	the expired head of this queue

Exceptions
`java.util.NoSuchElementException`	if this queue has no elements with an expired delay

remove

Added in API level 1

open fun remove(element: E?): Boolean

Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present, whether or not it has expired.

Parameters
`o`	element to be removed from this queue, if present

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if this queue changed as a result of the call

Exceptions
`java.lang.ClassCastException`	if the class of the specified element is incompatible with this queue (optional)
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if the specified element is null (optional)

take

Added in API level 1

open fun take(): E

Retrieves and removes the expired head of this queue, waiting if necessary until an expired element is available on this queue.

Return
`E`	the expired head of this queue

Exceptions
`java.lang.InterruptedException`	if interrupted while waiting

toArray

Added in API level 1

open fun toArray(): Array<Any!>

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue. The returned array elements are in no particular order.

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this queue. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.

Return
`Array<Any!>`	an array containing all of the elements in this queue

toArray

Added in API level 1

open fun <T : Any!> toArray(a: Array<T>): Array<T>

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. The returned array elements are in no particular order. If the queue fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this queue.

If this queue fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this queue), the element in the array immediately following the end of the queue is set to null.

Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.

The following code can be used to dump a delay queue into a newly allocated array of Delayed:

<code>Delayed[] a = q.toArray(new Delayed[0]);</code>

Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to toArray().

Parameters
`<T>`	the component type of the array to contain the collection
`a`	Array<T>: the array into which the elements of the queue are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose

Return
`Array<T>`	an array containing all of the elements in this queue

Exceptions
`java.lang.ArrayStoreException`	if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this queue
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if the specified array is null

Properties

size

Added in API level 1

open val size: Int

Return
`Int`	the number of elements in this collection
