Method Detail

• getTransferDataFlavors

  public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors()

  Returns an array of flavors in which this Transferable can provide the data. DataFlavor.stringFlavor is properly supported. Support for DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor is deprecated.

  Specified by:

  getTransferDataFlavors in interface Transferable

  Returns:

  an array of length two, whose elements are DataFlavor. stringFlavor and DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor

• isDataFlavorSupported

  public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor)

  Returns whether the requested flavor is supported by this Transferable.

  Specified by:

  isDataFlavorSupported in interface Transferable

  Parameters:

  flavor - the requested flavor for the data

  Returns:

  true if flavor is equal to DataFlavor.stringFlavor or DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor; false if flavor is not one of the above flavors

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if flavor is null

• getTransferData

  public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor)
                         throws UnsupportedFlavorException,
                                IOException

  Returns the Transferable's data in the requested DataFlavor if possible. If the desired flavor is DataFlavor.stringFlavor, or an equivalent flavor, the String representing the selection is returned. If the desired flavor is DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor, or an equivalent flavor, a Reader is returned. Note: The behavior of this method for DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor and equivalent DataFlavors is inconsistent with the definition of DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor.

  Specified by:

  getTransferData in interface Transferable

  Parameters:

  flavor - the requested flavor for the data

  Returns:

  the data in the requested flavor, as outlined above

  Throws:

  UnsupportedFlavorException - if the requested data flavor is not equivalent to either DataFlavor.stringFlavor or DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor

  IOException - if an IOException occurs while retrieving the data. By default, StringSelection never throws this exception, but a subclass may.

  NullPointerException - if flavor is null
