Method Detail

toImmutableSet

@Beta
public static <E> Collector<E,?,ImmutableSet<E>> toImmutableSet()

Returns a Collector that accumulates the input elements into a new ImmutableSet. Elements are added in encounter order; if the elements contain duplicates (according to Object.equals(Object)), only the first duplicate in encounter order will appear in the result.

21.0

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of()

Returns the empty immutable set. Preferred over Collections.emptySet() for code consistency, and because the return type conveys the immutability guarantee.

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of(E element)

Returns an immutable set containing element. Preferred over Collections.singleton(T) for code consistency, null rejection, and because the return type conveys the immutability guarantee.

of

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> of(E e1,
                                     E e2)

Returns an immutable set containing the given elements, minus duplicates, in the order each was first specified. That is, if multiple elements are equal, all except the first are ignored.

                                     E e4)

Returns an immutable set containing the given elements, minus duplicates, in the order each was first specified. That is, if multiple elements are equal, all except the first are ignored.

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> copyOf(Collection<? extends E> elements)

Returns an immutable set containing each of elements, minus duplicates, in the order each appears first in the source collection.

Performance note: This method will sometimes recognize that the actual copy operation is unnecessary; for example, copyOf(copyOf(anArrayList)) will copy the data only once. This reduces the expense of habitually making defensive copies at API boundaries. However, the precise conditions for skipping the copy operation are undefined.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

Since:

7.0 (source-compatible since 2.0)

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> copyOf(Iterable<? extends E> elements)

Returns an immutable set containing each of elements, minus duplicates, in the order each appears first in the source iterable. This method iterates over elements only once.

Performance note: This method will sometimes recognize that the actual copy operation is unnecessary; for example, copyOf(copyOf(anArrayList)) should copy the data only once. This reduces the expense of habitually making defensive copies at API boundaries. However, the precise conditions for skipping the copy operation are undefined.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> copyOf(Iterator<? extends E> elements)

Returns an immutable set containing each of elements, minus duplicates, in the order each appears first in the source iterator.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableSet<E> copyOf(E[] elements)

Returns an immutable set containing each of elements, minus duplicates, in the order each appears first in the source array.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

asList

public ImmutableList<E> asList()

Description copied from class: ImmutableCollection

Returns an ImmutableList containing the same elements, in the same order, as this collection.

Performance note: in most cases this method can return quickly without actually copying anything. The exact circumstances under which the copy is performed are undefined and subject to change.

Overrides:

builder

public static <E> ImmutableSet.Builder<E> builder()

Returns a new builder. The generated builder is equivalent to the builder created by the ImmutableSet.Builder constructor.
