Class ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E>

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E>
Enclosing class:
ImmutableMultiset<E>

public static final class ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E>
extends Object

A builder for creating immutable multiset instances, especially public static final multisets ("constant multisets"). Example:

 public static final ImmutableMultiset<Bean> BEANS =
       new ImmutableMultiset.Builder<Bean>()
           .addCopies(Bean.COCOA, 4)
           .addCopies(Bean.GARDEN, 6)
           .addCopies(Bean.RED, 8)
           .addCopies(Bean.BLACK_EYED, 10)
           .build();
Builder instances can be reused; it is safe to call build() multiple times to build multiple multisets in series. Each multiset is a superset of the multiset created before it.

Constructor Detail

ImmutableMultiset.Builder

public ImmutableMultiset.Builder()
Creates a new builder. The returned builder is equivalent to the builder generated by ImmutableMultiset.builder().

Method Detail

add

public ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E> add(E element)
Adds element to the ImmutableMultiset.

Parameters:
element - the element to add
Returns:
this Builder object
Throws:
NullPointerException - if element is null

addCopies

public ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E> addCopies(E element,
                                              int occurrences)
Adds a number of occurrences of an element to this ImmutableMultiset.

Parameters:
element - the element to add
occurrences - the number of occurrences of the element to add. May be zero, in which case no change will be made.
Returns:
this Builder object
Throws:
NullPointerException - if element is null
IllegalArgumentException - if occurrences is negative, or if this operation would result in more than Integer.MAX_VALUE occurrences of the element

setCount

public ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E> setCount(E element,
                                             int count)
Adds or removes the necessary occurrences of an element such that the element attains the desired count.

Parameters:
element - the element to add or remove occurrences of
count - the desired count of the element in this multiset
Returns:
this Builder object
Throws:
NullPointerException - if element is null
IllegalArgumentException - if count is negative

add

public ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E> add(E... elements)
Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableMultiset.

Parameters:
elements - the elements to add
Returns:
this Builder object
Throws:
NullPointerException - if elements is null or contains a null element

addAll

public ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E> addAll(Iterable<? extends E> elements)
Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableMultiset.

Parameters:
elements - the Iterable to add to the ImmutableMultiset
Returns:
this Builder object
Throws:
NullPointerException - if elements is null or contains a null element

addAll

public ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E> addAll(Iterator<? extends E> elements)
Adds each element of elements to the ImmutableMultiset.

Parameters:
elements - the elements to add to the ImmutableMultiset
Returns:
this Builder object
Throws:
NullPointerException - if elements is null or contains a null element

build

public ImmutableMultiset<E> build()
Returns a newly-created ImmutableMultiset based on the contents of the Builder.
