public interface Appendable
An object to which char sequences and values can be appended. The
Appendable interface must be implemented by any class whose
instances are intended to receive formatted output from a Formatter
.
The characters to be appended should be valid Unicode characters as described in Unicode Character Representation. Note that supplementary characters may be composed of multiple 16-bit char values.
Appendables are not necessarily safe for multithreaded access. Thread safety is the responsibility of classes that extend and implement this interface.
Since this interface may be implemented by existing classes with different styles of error handling there is no guarantee that errors will be propagated to the invoker.
Method Summary | |
---|---|
Appendable |
append(char c)
Appends the specified character to this Appendable. |
Appendable |
append(CharSequence csq)
Appends the specified character sequence to this Appendable. |
Appendable |
append(CharSequence csq,
int start,
int end)
Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this Appendable. |
Method Detail |
---|
Appendable append(CharSequence csq) throws IOException
Depending on which class implements the character sequence
csq, the entire sequence may not be appended. For
instance, if csq is a CharBuffer
then
the subsequence to append is defined by the buffer's position and limit.
csq
- The character sequence to append. If csq is
null, then the four characters "null" are
appended to this Appendable.
IOException
- If an I/O error occursAppendable append(CharSequence csq, int start, int end) throws IOException
An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq, start, end) when csq is not null, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation
out.append(csq.subSequence(start, end))
csq
- The character sequence from which a subsequence will be
appended. If csq is null, then characters
will be appended as if csq contained the four
characters "null".start
- The index of the first character in the subsequenceend
- The index of the character following the last character in the
subsequence
IndexOutOfBoundsException
- If start or end are negative, start
is greater than end, or end is greater than
csq.length()
IOException
- If an I/O error occursAppendable append(char c) throws IOException
c
- The character to append
IOException
- If an I/O error occurs
