Constructor Detail

XMPArray

public XMPArray(XMPArrayType type)

Main constructor

Parameters:

type - the intended type of array

Method Detail

getType

public XMPArrayType getType()

Returns:

the type of array

getValue

public Object getValue(int idx)

Returns the value at a given position.

Parameters:

idx - the index of the requested value

Returns:

the value at the given position

getStructure

public XMPStructure getStructure(int idx)

Returns the structure at a given position. If the value is not a structure a ClassCastException is thrown.

Parameters:

idx - the index of the requested value

Returns:

the structure at the given position

getSimpleValue

public Object getSimpleValue()

Returns a normal Java object representing the value if it is available.

Specified by:

getSimpleValue in class XMPComplexValue

Returns:

a simple object value or null if no such value can be returned (for example, because the value is an array and has multiple entries.

getLangValue

public String getLangValue(String lang)

Returns a language-dependent values (available for alternative arrays).

Parameters:

lang - the language ("x-default" for the default value)

Returns:

the requested value

removeLangValue

public String removeLangValue(String lang)

Removes a language-dependent value.

Parameters:

lang - the language ("x-default" for the default value)

Returns:

the removed value (or null if no value was set)

add

public void add(Object value)

Adds a new value to the array

Parameters:

value - the value

remove

public boolean remove(String value)

Removes a value from the array. If the value doesn't exist, nothing happens.

Parameters:

value - the value to be removed

Returns:

true if the value was removed, false if it wasn't found

add

public void add(String value,
                String lang)

Adds a language-dependent value to the array. Make sure not to add the same language twice.

Parameters:

value - the value

lang - the language ("x-default" for the default value)

getSize

public int getSize()

Returns the current number of values in the array.

Returns:

the current number of values in the array

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Indicates whether the array is empty or not.

Returns:

true if the array is empty

toObjectArray

public Object[] toObjectArray()

Converts the array to an object array.

Returns:

an object array of all values in the array

toSAX

public void toSAX(ContentHandler handler)
           throws SAXException

Generates SAX events representing the object's state.

Parameters:

handler - ContentHandler instance to send the SAX events to

Throws:

SAXException - if there's a problem generating the SAX events

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
