Overview

This class consists of static utility methods for operating on objects.

Summary

Methods
public static booleanequals(java.lang.Object a, java.lang.Object b)

Returns true if the arguments are equal to each other and false otherwise.

public static inthash(java.lang.Object values[])

Generates a hash code for a sequence of input values.

public static inthashCode(java.lang.Object o)

Returns the hash code of a non-null argument and 0 for a null argument.

public static java.lang.ObjectrequireNonNull(java.lang.Object obj)

Checks that the specified object reference is not null.

public static java.lang.ObjectrequireNonNull(java.lang.Object obj, java.lang.String message)

Checks that the specified object reference is not null and throws a customized java.lang.NullPointerException if it is.

public static java.lang.StringtoString(java.lang.Object o, java.lang.String nullDefault)

Returns the result of calling toString on the first argument if the first argument is not null and returns the second argument otherwise.

Methods

public static boolean equals(java.lang.Object a, java.lang.Object b)

Returns true if the arguments are equal to each other and false otherwise.

Consequently, if both arguments are null, true is returned and if exactly one argument is null, false is returned. Otherwise, equality is determined by using the equals method of the first argument.

Parameters:

a: an object
b: an object to be compared with a for equality

Returns:

true if the arguments are equal to each other and false otherwise

See also: equals

public static int hashCode(java.lang.Object o)

Returns the hash code of a non-null argument and 0 for a null argument.

Parameters:

o: an object

Returns:

the hash code of a non-null argument and 0 for a null argument

See also: hashCode

public static int hash(java.lang.Object values[])

Generates a hash code for a sequence of input values. The hash code is generated as if all the input values were placed into an array, and that array were hashed by calling hashCode.

This method is useful for implementing hashCode on objects containing multiple fields. For example, if an object that has three fields, x, y, and z, one could write:

 @Override public int hashCode() {
     return ObjectsCompat.hash(x, y, z);
 }
 
Warning: When a single object reference is supplied, the returned value does not equal the hash code of that object reference. This value can be computed by calling ObjectsCompat.hashCode(Object).

Parameters:

values: the values to be hashed

Returns:

a hash value of the sequence of input values

See also: hashCode

public static java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object o, java.lang.String nullDefault)

Returns the result of calling toString on the first argument if the first argument is not null and returns the second argument otherwise.

Parameters:

o: an object
nullDefault: string to return if the first argument is null

Returns:

the result of calling toString on the first argument if it is not null and the second argument otherwise.

public static java.lang.Object requireNonNull(java.lang.Object obj)

Checks that the specified object reference is not null. This method is designed primarily for doing parameter validation in methods and constructors, as demonstrated below:

 public Foo(Bar bar) {
     this.bar = Objects.requireNonNull(bar);
 }
 

Parameters:

obj: the object reference to check for nullity

Returns:

obj if not null

public static java.lang.Object requireNonNull(java.lang.Object obj, java.lang.String message)

Checks that the specified object reference is not null and throws a customized java.lang.NullPointerException if it is. This method is designed primarily for doing parameter validation in methods and constructors with multiple parameters, as demonstrated below:

 public Foo(Bar bar, Baz baz) {
     this.bar = Objects.requireNonNull(bar, "bar must not be null");
     this.baz = Objects.requireNonNull(baz, "baz must not be null");
 }
 

Parameters:

obj: the object reference to check for nullity
message: detail message to be used in the event that a NullPointerException is thrown

Returns:

obj if not null
