Class TransformationList<E,F>

java.lang.Object

java.util.AbstractCollection<E>

java.util.AbstractList<E>

javafx.collections.ObservableListBase<E>

javafx.collections.transformation.TransformationList<E,F>

Type Parameters:: E - the type parameter of this list; F - the upper bound of the type of the source list

All Implemented Interfaces:: Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, List<E>, Observable, ObservableList<E>

Direct Known Subclasses:: FilteredList, SortedList

public abstract class TransformationList<E,F> extends ObservableListBase<E>

A base class for all lists that wrap another list in a way that changes (transforms) the wrapped list's elements, order, size, or structure. If the source list is observable, a listener is automatically added to it and the events are delegated to sourceChanged(javafx.collections.ListChangeListener.Change).

Since:: JavaFX 8.0

Constructor Details

TransformationList

protected TransformationList(ObservableList<? extends F> source)

Creates a new Transformation list wrapped around the source list.

Parameters:: source - the wrapped list

Method Details

getSource

public final ObservableList<? extends F> getSource()

The source list specified in the constructor of this transformation list.

Returns:: The List that is directly wrapped by this TransformationList

isInTransformationChain

public final boolean isInTransformationChain(ObservableList<?> list)

Checks whether the provided list is in the chain under this TransformationList. This means the list is either the direct source as returned by getSource() or the direct source is a TransformationList, and the list is in it's transformation chain.

Parameters:: list - the list to check
Returns:: true if the list is in the transformation chain as specified above.

sourceChanged

protected abstract void sourceChanged(ListChangeListener.Change<? extends F> c)

Called when a change from the source is triggered.

Parameters:: c - the change

getSourceIndex

public abstract int getSourceIndex(int index)

Maps the index of this list's element to an index in the direct source list.

Parameters:

index - the index in this list

Returns:

the index of the element's origin in the source list

See Also:

getSource()

getSourceIndexFor

public final int getSourceIndexFor(ObservableList<?> list, int index)

Maps the index of this list's element to an index of the provided list. The list must be in the transformation chain.

Parameters:

list - a list from the transformation chain

index - the index of an element in this list

Returns:

the index of the element's origin in the provided list

See Also:

isInTransformationChain(javafx.collections.ObservableList)

getViewIndex

public abstract int getViewIndex(int index)

Maps the index of the direct source list's element to an index in this list.

Parameters:

index - the index in the source list

Returns:

the index of the element in this list if it is contained in this list or negative value otherwise
