java.lang.Object java.util.AbstractCollection java.util.AbstractQueue java.util.concurrent.SynchronousQueue
E
- the type of elements held in this collectionA blocking queue in which each put must wait for a take, and vice versa. A synchronous queue does not have any internal capacity - in particular it does not have a capacity of one. You cannot peek at a synchronous queue because an element is only present when you try to take it; you cannot add an element (using any method) unless another thread is trying to remove it; you cannot iterate as there is nothing to iterate. The head of the queue is the element that the first queued thread is trying to add to the queue; if there are no queued threads then no element is being added and the head is null. For purposes of other Collection methods (for example contains), a SynchronousQueue acts as an empty collection. This queue does not permit null elements.
Synchronous queues are similar to rendezvous channels used in CSP and Ada. They are well suited for handoff designs, in which an object running in one thread must synch up with an object running in another thread in order to hand it some information, event, or task.
This class implements all of the optional methods
of the Collection
and Iterator
interfaces.

Method Summary | ||
---|---|---|
void |
clear()
Does nothing. |
|
boolean |
contains(Object o)
Always returns false. |
|
boolean |
containsAll(Collection<?> c)
Returns false unless given collection is empty. |
|
int |
drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)
Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them into the given collection. |
|
int |
drainTo(Collection<? super E> c,
int maxElements)
Removes at most the given number of available elements from this queue and adds them into the given collection. |
|
boolean |
isEmpty()
Always returns true. |
|
Iterator<E> |
iterator()
Returns an empty iterator in which hasNext always returns false. |
|
boolean |
offer(E o)

|
E |
peek()
Always returns null. |
|
E |
poll()
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, if another thread is currently making an element available. |
|
E |
poll(long timeout,
TimeUnit unit)
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary up to the specified wait time, for another thread to insert it. |
|
void |
put(E o)

|
Object[] |
toArray()
Returns a zero-length array. |
|
|
toArray(T[] a)
Sets the zeroeth element of the specified array to null (if the array has non-zero length) and returns it. |
