public class DelayQueue<E extends Delayed> extends AbstractQueue<E> implements BlockingQueue<E>
An unbounded blocking queue ofDelayed
elements, in which an element can only be taken when its delay has expired. The head of the queue is thatDelayed
element whose delay expired furthest in the past. If no delay has expired there is no head andpoll
will returnnull
. Expiration occurs when an element'sgetDelay(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS)
method returns a value less than or equal to zero. Even though unexpired elements cannot be removed usingtake
orpoll
, they are otherwise treated as normal elements. For example, thesize
method returns the count of both expired and unexpired elements. This queue does not permit null elements.This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the
Collection
andIterator
interfaces. The Iterator provided in methoditerator()
is not guaranteed to traverse the elements of the DelayQueue in any particular order.This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

drainTo
public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)
Description copied from interface:BlockingQueue
Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. This operation may be more efficient than repeatedly polling this queue. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collectionc
may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result inIllegalArgumentException
. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.- Specified by:
-
drainTo
in interfaceBlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Parameters:
-
c
- the collection to transfer elements into - Returns:
- the number of elements transferred
- Throws:
-
UnsupportedOperationException
- if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection -
ClassCastException
- if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection -
NullPointerException
- if the specified collection is null -
IllegalArgumentException
- if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
drainTo
public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c, int maxElements)
Description copied from interface:BlockingQueue
Removes at most the given number of available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collectionc
may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result inIllegalArgumentException
. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.- Specified by:
-
drainTo
in interfaceBlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Parameters:
-
c
- the collection to transfer elements into -
maxElements
- the maximum number of elements to transfer - Returns:
- the number of elements transferred
- Throws:
-
UnsupportedOperationException
- if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection -
ClassCastException
- if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection -
NullPointerException
- if the specified collection is null -
IllegalArgumentException
- if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
clear
public void clear()
Atomically removes all of the elements from this delay queue. The queue will be empty after this call returns. Elements with an unexpired delay are not waited for; they are simply discarded from the queue.- Specified by:
-
clear
in interfaceCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Overrides:
-
clear
in classAbstractQueue<E extends Delayed>
remainingCapacity
public int remainingCapacity()
Always returnsInteger.MAX_VALUE
because aDelayQueue
is not capacity constrained.- Specified by:
-
remainingCapacity
in interfaceBlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Returns:
-
Integer.MAX_VALUE
toArray
public Object[] toArray()
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue. The returned array elements are in no particular order.The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this queue. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.
This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.
- Specified by:
-
toArray
in interfaceCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Overrides:
-
toArray
in classAbstractCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Returns:
- an array containing all of the elements in this queue
toArray
public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. The returned array elements are in no particular order. If the queue fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this queue.If this queue fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this queue), the element in the array immediately following the end of the queue is set to
null
.Like the
toArray()
method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.The following code can be used to dump a delay queue into a newly allocated array of
Delayed
:Delayed[] a = q.toArray(new Delayed[0]);
toArray(new Object[0])
is identical in function totoArray()
.- Specified by:
-
toArray
in interfaceCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Overrides:
-
toArray
in classAbstractCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Type Parameters:
-
T
- the runtime type of the array to contain the collection - Parameters:
-
a
- the array into which the elements of the queue are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose - Returns:
- an array containing all of the elements in this queue
- Throws:
-
ArrayStoreException
- if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this queue -
NullPointerException
- if the specified array is null
remove
public boolean remove(Object o)
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present, whether or not it has expired.- Specified by:
-
remove
in interfaceCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Specified by:
-
remove
in interfaceBlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Overrides:
-
remove
in classAbstractCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Parameters:
-
o
- element to be removed from this collection, if present - Returns:
- true if an element was removed as a result of this call
iterator
public Iterator<E> iterator()
Returns an iterator over all the elements (both expired and unexpired) in this queue. The iterator does not return the elements in any particular order.The returned iterator is weakly consistent.
