Method Detail

addElement

public void addElement(DataElement elem)
Adds a DataElement to this DATALT or DATSEQ DataElement object. The elem will be added at the end of the list. The elem can be of any DataElement type, i.e., URL, NULL, BOOL, UUID, STRING, DATSEQ, DATALT, and the various signed and unsigned integer types. The same object may be added twice. If the object is successfully added the size of the DataElement is increased by one.

Parameters:
elem - the DataElement object to add
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the method is invoked on a DataElement whose type is not DATALT or DATSEQ
NullPointerException - if elem is null
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.1

insertElementAt

public void insertElementAt(DataElement elem,
                            int index)
Inserts a DataElement at the specified location. This method can be invoked only on a DATALT or DATSEQ DataElement. elem can be of any DataElement type, i.e., URL, NULL, BOOL, UUID, STRING, DATSEQ, DATALT, and the various signed and unsigned integers. The same object may be added twice. If the object is successfully added the size will be increased by one. Each element with an index greater than or equal to the specified index is shifted upward to have an index one greater than the value it had previously.

The index must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the current size. Therefore, DATALT and DATSEQ are zero-based objects.

Parameters:
elem - the DataElement object to add
index - the location at which to add the DataElement
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the method is invoked on an instance of DataElement whose type is not DATALT or DATSEQ
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is negative or greater than the size of the DATALT or DATSEQ
NullPointerException - if elem is null
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.1

getSize

public int getSize()
Returns the number of DataElements that are present in this DATALT or DATSEQ object. It is possible that the number of elements is equal to zero.

Returns:
the number of elements in this DATALT or DATSEQ
Throws:
ClassCastException - if this object is not of type DATALT or DATSEQ
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.1

removeElement

public boolean removeElement(DataElement elem)
Removes the first occurrence of the DataElement from this object. elem may be of any type, i.e., URL, NULL, BOOL, UUID, STRING, DATSEQ, DATALT, or the variously sized signed and unsigned integers. Only the first object in the list that is equal to elem will be removed. Other objects, if present, are not removed. Since this class doesn’t override the equals() method of the Object class, the remove method compares only the references of objects. If elem is successfully removed the size of this DataElement is decreased by one. Each DataElement in the DATALT or DATSEQ with an index greater than the index of elem is shifted downward to have an index one smaller than the value it had previously.

Parameters:
elem - the DataElement to be removed
Returns:
true if the input value was found and removed; else false
Throws:
ClassCastException - if this object is not of type DATALT or DATSEQ
NullPointerException - if elem is null
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.1

getDataType

public int getDataType()
Returns the data type of the object this DataElement represents.

Returns:
the data type of this DataElement object; the legal return values are: URL, NULL, BOOL, UUID, STRING, DATSEQ, DATALT, U_INT_1, U_INT_2, U_INT_4, U_INT_8, U_INT_16, INT_1, INT_2, INT_4, INT_8, or INT_16
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.1

getLong

public long getLong()
Returns the value of the DataElement if it can be represented as a long. The data type of the object must be U_INT_1, U_INT_2, U_INT_4, INT_1, INT_2, INT_4, or INT_8.

Returns:
the value of the DataElement as a long
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the data type of the object is not U_INT_1, U_INT_2, U_INT_4, INT_1, INT_2, INT_4, or INT_8
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.1

getBoolean

public boolean getBoolean()
Returns the value of the DataElement if it is represented as a boolean.

Returns:
the boolean value of this DataElement object
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the data type of this object is not of type BOOL
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.1

getValue

public Object getValue()
Returns the value of this DataElement as an Object. This method returns the appropriate Java object for the following data types: URL, UUID, STRING, DATSEQ, DATALT, U_INT_8, U_INT_16, and INT_16. Modifying the returned Object will not change this DataElement. The following are the legal pairs of data type and Java object type being returned.
DataElement Data Type Java Data Type
URLjava.lang.String
UUID javax.bluetooth.UUID
STRINGjava.lang.String
DATSEQ java.util.Enumeration
DATALT java.util.Enumeration
U_INT_8 byte[] of length 8
U_INT_16 byte[] of length 16
INT_16 byte[] of length 16

Returns:
the value of this object
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the object is not a URL, UUID, STRING, DATSEQ, DATALT, U_INT_8, U_INT_16, or INT_16
Since:
BlackBerry API 4.2.1
