Extends: AbstractCollection > AbstractQueue
Implements: BlockingQueue, Serializable
Details
An optionally-bounded blocking queue based on linked nodes. This queue orders elements FIFO (first-in-first-out). The head of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the longest time. The tail of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the shortest time. New elements are inserted at the tail of the queue, and the queue retrieval operations obtain elements at the head of the queue. Linked queues typically have higher throughput than array-based queues but less predictable performance in most concurrent applications.

The optional capacity bound constructor argument serves as a way to prevent excessive queue expansion. The capacity, if unspecified, is equal to Integer#MAX_VALUE. Linked nodes are dynamically created upon each insertion unless this would bring the queue above capacity.

This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Constructors
public LinkedBlockingQueue()
Creates a LinkedBlockingQueue with a capacity of Integer#MAX_VALUE.
public LinkedBlockingQueue(int capacity) Details
Creates a LinkedBlockingQueue with the given (fixed) capacity.
capacitythe capacity of this queue
ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: if capacity is not greater than zero
public LinkedBlockingQueue(Collection c) Details
Creates a LinkedBlockingQueue with a capacity of Integer#MAX_VALUE, initially containing the elements of the given collection, added in traversal order of the collection's iterator.
cthe collection of elements to initially contain
ThrowsNullPointerException: if the specified collection or any of its elements are null

Methods
public void clear()
Atomically removes all of the elements from this queue. The queue will be empty after this call returns.
public int drainTo(Collection c) Details
ThrowsUnsupportedOperationException: if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection
ThrowsClassCastException: if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
ThrowsNullPointerException: if the specified collection is null
ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
public int drainTo(Collection c, int maxElements) Details
ThrowsUnsupportedOperationException: if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection
ThrowsClassCastException: if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
ThrowsNullPointerException: if the specified collection is null
ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
public Iterator iterator() Details
Returns an iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence. The returned Iterator is a "weakly consistent" iterator that will never throw ConcurrentModificationException, and guarantees to traverse elements as they existed upon construction of the iterator, and may (but is not guaranteed to) reflect any modifications subsequent to construction.
returnan iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence
public boolean offer(Object e, long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException Details
Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue, waiting if necessary up to the specified wait time for space to become available.
returntrue if successful, or false if the specified waiting time elapses before space is available.
ThrowsInterruptedException: if interrupted while waiting
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public boolean offer(Object e) Details
Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue if it is possible to do so immediately without exceeding the queue's capacity, returning true upon success and false if this queue is full. When using a capacity-restricted queue, this method is generally preferable to method add, which can fail to insert an element only by throwing an exception.
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public Object peek()
public Object poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException
public Object poll()
public void put(Object e) throws InterruptedException Details
Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue, waiting if necessary for space to become available.
ThrowsInterruptedException: if interrupted while waiting
ThrowsNullPointerException: als het gespecifieerde element null is
public int remainingCapacity()
Returns the number of additional elements that this queue can ideally (in the absence of memory or resource constraints) accept without blocking. This is always equal to the initial capacity of this queue less the current size of this queue.

Note that you cannot always tell if an attempt to insert an element will succeed by inspecting remainingCapacity because it may be the case that another thread is about to insert or remove an element.

public boolean remove(Object o) Details
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present. More formally, removes an element e such that o.equals(e), if this queue contains one or more such elements. Returns true if this queue contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this queue changed as a result of the call).
oelement to be removed from this queue, if present
returntrue if this queue changed as a result of the call
public int size() Details
Returns the number of elements in this queue.
returnthe number of elements in this queue
public Object take() throws InterruptedException
public Object[] toArray() Details
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in proper sequence.

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.
returnan array containing all of the elements in this queue

public Object[]<T> toArray(Object[] a) Details
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in proper sequence; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. 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.

Suppose x is a queue known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the queue into a newly allocated array of String:

     String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);
Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to toArray().
athe 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
returnan array containing all of the elements in this queue
ThrowsArrayStoreException: if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this queue
ThrowsNullPointerException: if the specified array is null
