A string buffer implements a mutable sequence of characters. A string buffer is like a java.lang.String, but can be modified. At any point in time it contains some particular sequence of characters, but the length and content of the sequence can be changed through certain method calls.
String buffers are safe for use by multiple threads. The methods are synchronized where necessary so that all the operations on any particular instance behave as if they occur in some serial order that is consistent with the order of the method calls made by each of the individual threads involved.
String buffers are used by the compiler to implement the binary
string concatenation operator +. For example, the code:
x = "a" + 4 + "c"
is compiled to the equivalent of:
x = new StringBuffer().append("a").append(4).append("c")
.toString()
which creates a new string buffer (initially empty), appends the string
representation of each operand to the string buffer in turn, and then
converts the contents of the string buffer to a string. Overall, this avoids
creating many temporary strings.
The principal operations on a StringBuffer are the
append and insert methods, which are
overloaded so as to accept data of any type. Each effectively
converts a given datum to a string and then appends or inserts the
characters of that string to the string buffer. The
append method always adds these characters at the end
of the buffer; the insert method adds the characters at
a specified point.
For example, if z refers to a string buffer object
whose current contents are "start", then
the method call z.append("le") would cause the string
buffer to contain "startle", whereas
z.insert(4, "le") would alter the string buffer to
contain "starlet".
In general, if sb refers to an instance of a StringBuffer,
then sb.append(x) has the same effect as
sb.insert(sb.length(), x).
Every string buffer has a capacity. As long as the length of the character sequence contained in the string buffer does not exceed the capacity, it is not necessary to allocate a new internal buffer array. If the internal buffer overflows, it is automatically made larger.

| Constructor Detail |
PortableStringBuffer
public PortableStringBuffer()
- Constructs a string buffer with no characters in it and an
initial capacity of 16 characters.
PortableStringBuffer
public PortableStringBuffer(int length)
- Constructs a string buffer with no characters in it and an
initial capacity specified by the
lengthargument.
PortableStringBuffer
public PortableStringBuffer(java.lang.String str)
- Constructs a string buffer so that it represents the same
sequence of characters as the string argument; in other
words, the initial contents of the string buffer is a copy of the
argument string. The initial capacity of the string buffer is
16plus the length of the string argument.
| Method Detail |
length
public int length()
- Returns the length (character count) of this string buffer.
capacity
public int capacity()
- Returns the current capacity of the String buffer. The capacity
is the amount of storage available for newly inserted
characters; beyond which an allocation will occur.
copy
private final void copy()
- Copies the buffer value. This is normally only called when shared
is true. It should only be called from a synchronized method.
ensureCapacity
public void ensureCapacity(int minimumCapacity)
- Ensures that the capacity of the buffer is at least equal to the
specified minimum.
If the current capacity of this string buffer is less than the
argument, then a new internal buffer is allocated with greater
capacity. The new capacity is the larger of:
- The
minimumCapacityargument. - Twice the old capacity, plus
2.
minimumCapacityargument is nonpositive, this method takes no action and simply returns. - The
expandCapacity
private void expandCapacity(int minimumCapacity)
- This implements the expansion semantics of ensureCapacity but is
unsynchronized for use internally by methods which are already
synchronized.
setLength
public void setLength(int newLength)
- Sets the length of this String buffer.
This string buffer is altered to represent a new character sequence
whose length is specified by the argument. For every nonnegative
index k less than
newLength, the character at index k in the new character sequence is the same as the character at index k in the old sequence if k is less than the length of the old character sequence; otherwise, it is the null character' '. In other words, if thenewLengthargument is less than the current length of the string buffer, the string buffer is truncated to contain exactly the number of characters given by thenewLengthargument.If the
newLengthargument is greater than or equal to the current length, sufficient null characters ('\u0000') are appended to the string buffer so that length becomes thenewLengthargument.The
newLengthargument must be greater than or equal to0.
charAt
public char charAt(int index)
- The specified character of the sequence currently represented by
the string buffer, as indicated by the
indexargument, is returned. The first character of a string buffer is at index0, the next at index1, and so on, for array indexing.The index argument must be greater than or equal to
0, and less than the length of this string buffer.
getChars
public void getChars(int srcBegin,
int srcEnd,
char[] dst,
int dstBegin)
- Characters are copied from this string buffer into the
destination character array
dst. The first character to be copied is at indexsrcBegin; the last character to be copied is at indexsrcEnd-1. The total number of characters to be copied issrcEnd-srcBegin. The characters are copied into the subarray ofdststarting at indexdstBeginand ending at index:dstbegin + (srcEnd-srcBegin) - 1
setCharAt
public void setCharAt(int index,
char ch)
- The character at the specified index of this string buffer is set
to
ch. The string buffer is altered to represent a new character sequence that is identical to the old character sequence, except that it contains the characterchat positionindex.The offset argument must be greater than or equal to
0, and less than the length of this string buffer.
append
public PortableStringBuffer append(java.lang.Object obj)
- Appends the string representation of the
Objectargument to this string buffer.The argument is converted to a string as if by the method
String.valueOf, and the characters of that string are then appended to this string buffer.
append
public PortableStringBuffer append(java.lang.String str)
- Appends the string to this string buffer.
The characters of the
Stringargument are appended, in order, to the contents of this string buffer, increasing the length of this string buffer by the length of the argument. Ifstrisnull, then the four characters"null"are appended to this string buffer.Let n be the length of the old character sequence, the one contained in the string buffer just prior to execution of the
appendmethod. Then the character at index k in the new character sequence is equal to the character at index k in the old character sequence, if k is less than n; otherwise, it is equal to the character at index k-n in the argumentstr.
append
public PortableStringBuffer append(char[] str)
- Appends the string representation of the
chararray argument to this string buffer.The characters of the array argument are appended, in order, to the contents of this string buffer. The length of this string buffer increases by the length of the argument.
The overall effect is exactly as if the argument were converted to a string by the method String.valueOf(char[])>
String.valueOf(char[])55 and the characters of that string were then appended 55 to thisPortableStringBufferobject.
append
public PortableStringBuffer append(char[] str, int offset, int len)
- Appends the string representation of a subarray of the
chararray argument to this string buffer.Characters of the character array
str, starting at indexoffset, are appended, in order, to the contents of this string buffer. The length of this string buffer increases by the value oflen.The overall effect is exactly as if the arguments were converted to a string by the method String.valueOf(char[],int,int)>
String.valueOf(char[],int,int)55 and the characters of that string were then appended 55 to thisPortableStringBufferobject.
append

toString
public java.lang.String toString()
- Converts to a string representing the data in this string buffer.
A new
Stringobject is allocated and initialized to contain the character sequence currently represented by this string buffer. ThisStringis then returned. Subsequent changes to the string buffer do not affect the contents of theString.Implementation advice: This method can be coded so as to create a new
Stringobject without allocating new memory to hold a copy of the character sequence. Instead, the string can share the memory used by the string buffer. Any subsequent operation that alters the content or capacity of the string buffer must then make a copy of the internal buffer at that time. This strategy is effective for reducing the amount of memory allocated by a string concatenation operation when it is implemented using a string buffer.

getValue
final char[] getValue()
readObject
private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream s) throws java.io.IOException, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
