Method Detail

addFileChangeListener

void addFileChangeListener(@NotNull
                           FileChangeListener listener)

Add a file change listener to receive events about the files in this scope.

Parameters:

listener - the listener to be added

removeFileChangeListener

void removeFileChangeListener(@NotNull
                              FileChangeListener listener)

Remove a file change listener from this scope.

Parameters:

listener - the listener to be removed

getFileTables

java.util.Collection<FileTable> getFileTables()

Get the file tables currently used by this scope. A scope may span multiple file tables.

Returns:

the file tables used by this scope

getFileTable

FileTable getFileTable(java.net.URL url)

Get the file table in this scope containing a particular URL.

Parameters:

url - the URL

Returns:

the storage containing the URL, or null if no storages contain that URL

contains

boolean contains(java.net.URL url)

Determine whether this scope contains a URL. This does not check for existance of the URL.

Parameters:

url - the URL

Returns:

true if this scope contains the URL, false otherwise

locate

java.net.URL locate(java.lang.String relativePath)
                    throws java.io.IOException,
                           java.lang.InterruptedException

Locate a file in this scope.

Parameters:

relativePath - the relative path to the file

Returns:

the full URL of the file, or null if the file was not found in this scope

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - if the calling thread is interrupted

java.io.IOException

getFiles

java.util.Collection<java.net.URL> getFiles()
                                            throws java.io.IOException,
                                                   java.lang.InterruptedException

Get the URLs of all files in this scope.

Returns:

the URLs of all files in this scope

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the list of URLs could not be obtained

java.lang.InterruptedException - if the calling thread is interrupted

getDirectories

java.util.Collection<java.net.URL> getDirectories()
                                                  throws java.io.IOException,
                                                         java.lang.InterruptedException

Get the URLs of all directories in this scope.

Returns:

the URLs of all directories in this scope

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the list of URLs could not be obtained

java.lang.InterruptedException - if the calling thread is interrupted

refresh

void refresh()
             throws java.lang.InterruptedException,
                    java.io.IOException

Refresh this scope. This brings the scope up to date with the current state of the files on disk. This is a very time consuming operation, and should not be called unless necesary. Clients of the File Change API should rarely, if ever, have a reason to call this method. It should typically only be called if the user has specifically requested that the files be refreshed. This should never be called on the event thread.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - if the calling thread is interrupted

java.io.IOException - if the refresh fails

update

void update()
            throws java.lang.InterruptedException,
                   java.io.IOException

Update this scope. This brings the scope up to date with the current state of the files on disk, if necessary. Unlike refresh(), the files on disk are only scanned if the file table is known to require a refresh. This is potentially a very time consuming operation, and should never be called on the event thread. This method exists for backward compatibility with older code that requires it. It should rarely, if ever, be necessary to call this method. The file scope is updated automatically whenever any method is called to access its data.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - if the calling thread is interrupted

java.io.IOException - if the update fails

refresh

void refresh(@Nullable
             FileChangeListener listener)
             throws java.lang.InterruptedException,
                    java.io.IOException

Refresh this scope and invoke a listener with any changes found. This brings the scope up to date with the current state of the files on disk. This is a very time consuming operation, and should not be called unless necesary. Clients of the File Change API should rarely, if ever, have a reason to call this method. It should typically only be called if the user has specifically requested that the files be refreshed. This should never be called on the event thread.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException - if the calling thread is interrupted

java.io.IOException - if the refresh fails
