Enclosing class:

ImmutableSortedSet<E>

public static final class ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E>
extends ImmutableSet.Builder<E>

A builder for creating immutable sorted set instances, especially public static final sets ("constant sets"), with a given comparator. Example:

   

   public static final ImmutableSortedSet<Number> LUCKY_NUMBERS =
       new ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<Number>(ODDS_FIRST_COMPARATOR)
           .addAll(SINGLE_DIGIT_PRIMES)
           .add(42)
           .build();

Builder instances can be reused; it is safe to call build() multiple times to build multiple sets in series. Each set is a superset of the set created before it.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E>	add(E... elements) Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableSortedSet, ignoring duplicate elements (only the first duplicate element is added).
ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E>	add(E element) Adds element to the ImmutableSortedSet.
ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E>	addAll(Iterable<? extends E> elements) Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableSortedSet, ignoring duplicate elements (only the first duplicate element is added).
ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E>	addAll(Iterator<? extends E> elements) Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableSortedSet, ignoring duplicate elements (only the first duplicate element is added).
ImmutableSortedSet<E>	build() Returns a newly-created ImmutableSortedSet based on the contents of the Builder and its comparator.

Constructor Detail

Builder

public Builder(Comparator<? super E> comparator)

Creates a new builder. The returned builder is equivalent to the builder generated by ImmutableSortedSet.orderedBy(java.util.Comparator<E>).

Method Detail

add

public ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E> add(E element)

Adds element to the ImmutableSortedSet. If the ImmutableSortedSet already contains element, then add has no effect. (only the previously added element is retained).

Overrides:

add in class ImmutableSet.Builder<E>

Parameters:

element - the element to add

Returns:

this Builder object

Throws:

NullPointerException - if element is null

add

public ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E> add(E... elements)

Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableSortedSet, ignoring duplicate elements (only the first duplicate element is added).

Overrides:

add in class ImmutableSet.Builder<E>

Parameters:

elements - the elements to add

Returns:

this Builder object

Throws:

NullPointerException - if elements contains a null element

addAll

public ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E> addAll(Iterable<? extends E> elements)

Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableSortedSet, ignoring duplicate elements (only the first duplicate element is added).

Overrides:

addAll in class ImmutableSet.Builder<E>

Parameters:

elements - the elements to add to the ImmutableSortedSet

Returns:

this Builder object

Throws:

NullPointerException - if elements contains a null element

addAll

public ImmutableSortedSet.Builder<E> addAll(Iterator<? extends E> elements)

Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableSortedSet, ignoring duplicate elements (only the first duplicate element is added).

Overrides:

addAll in class ImmutableSet.Builder<E>

Parameters:

elements - the elements to add to the ImmutableSortedSet

Returns:

this Builder object

Throws:

NullPointerException - if elements contains a null element

build

public ImmutableSortedSet<E> build()

Returns a newly-created ImmutableSortedSet based on the contents of the Builder and its comparator.

Overrides:

build in class ImmutableSet.Builder<E>
