public class CharArray
extends ArrayAdapter
CharArray allows a native array of chars to be accessed like a JGL Container. It is particularly useful for applying generic algorithms such as Sorting.sort() to a native array.

Constructor Index

o CharArray()
Construct myself to refer to an empty array.
o CharArray(char[])
Construct myself to refer to a native Java array.
o CharArray(CharArray)
Construct myself to refer to an existing CharArray.
o CharArray(CharBuffer)
Construct myself to be a copy of an existing CharBuffer.

Method Index

o at(int)
Return the integer at the specified index as a Char object.
o begin()
Return an iterator positioned at my first item.
o charAt(int)
Return the integer at the specified index as a Char object.
o clone()
Return a shallow copy of myself.
o elements()
Return an Enumeration of my components.
o end()
Return an iterator positioned immediately after my last item.
o equals(char[])
Return true if I contain the same items in the same order as a native array of chars.
o equals(CharArray)
Return true if I contain the same items in the same order as another CharArray.
o equals(CharBuffer)
Return true if I contain the same items in the same order as another CharBuffer.
o equals(Object)
Return true if I'm equal to a specified object.
o finish()
Return an iterator positioned immediately after my last item.
o get()
Retrieve the underlying primitive array.
o maxSize()
Return the maximum number of objects that I can contain.
o put(int, char)
Set the value of a specified index.
o put(int, Object)
Set the object at a specified index.
o size()
Return the number of objects that I contain.
o start()
Return an iterator positioned at my first item.
o toString()
Return a string that describes me.
