Method Detail
getTransferDataFlavors
public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors()
Returns an array of flavors in which thisTransferable
can provide the data.DataFlavor.stringFlavor
is properly supported. Support forDataFlavor.plainTextFlavor
is deprecated.- Specified by:
getTransferDataFlavors
in interfaceTransferable
- Returns:
-
an array of length two, whose elements are
DataFlavor.stringFlavor
andDataFlavor.plainTextFlavor
isDataFlavorSupported
public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor)
Returns whether the requested flavor is supported by thisTransferable
.- Specified by:
isDataFlavorSupported
in interfaceTransferable
- Parameters:
flavor
- the requested flavor for the data- Returns:
true
ifflavor
is equal toDataFlavor.stringFlavor
orDataFlavor.plainTextFlavor
;false
ifflavor
is not one of the above flavors- Throws:
NullPointerException
- ifflavor
isnull
getTransferData
public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) throws UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException
Returns theTransferable
's data in the requestedDataFlavor
if possible. If the desired flavor isDataFlavor.stringFlavor
, or an equivalent flavor, theString
representing the selection is returned. If the desired flavor isDataFlavor.plainTextFlavor
, or an equivalent flavor, aReader
is returned.
Note: The behavior of this method forDataFlavor.plainTextFlavor

s is inconsistent with the definition ofDataFlavor.plainTextFlavor
.- Specified by:
getTransferData
in interfaceTransferable
- 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 eitherDataFlavor.stringFlavor
orDataFlavor.plainTextFlavor
IOException
- if an IOException occurs while retrieving the data. By default, StringSelection never throws this exception, but a subclass may.NullPointerException
