Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Use this method for checking equality between the current object and the provided one. The result is true only if the argument is not null, is of the same type and represents the same content.

Specified by:

equals in interface Collection<DiaryItem>

Specified by:

equals in interface List<DiaryItem>

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractList<DiaryItem>

Parameters:

obj - the object that we are comparing to

Returns:

returns a boolean that tells if the two objects equal

decode

public static DiaryListValue decode(String encoded)
                             throws ARException

Takes the formatted string returned for all diary fields and decodes it into an array of diary entries.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if invalid ARServerUser object

ARException - if diary information is not decoded

encode

public String encode()

Encodes the current ARDiaryList into an encoded diary string.

Returns:

a populated string

clone

public Object clone()

Clone implementation that returns an Object with data cloned from self.

Overrides:

clone in class ArrayList<DiaryItem>

getAppendedText

public String getAppendedText()

return the appended diary string.

setAppendedText

public void setAppendedText(String appendedText)

Append the given string to the diaryListValue object, and the string will be added to DiaryItem late on when this diaryListValue object is saved into the server

Parameters:

appendedText - the string to be added to the diaryListValue object.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string description of the object.

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractCollection<DiaryItem>

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this instance of the current class. This method is supported as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode, for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Collection<DiaryItem>

Specified by:

hashCode in interface List<DiaryItem>

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractList<DiaryItem>

Returns:

returns the hash code for this instance
