asReadOnlyBuffer

public abstract CharBuffer asReadOnlyBuffer()
Creates a new read-only CharBuffer that shares this buffer's content.

charAt

public final char charAt(int index)
Returns the character at position() + index.
Specified by:
charAt in interface CharSequence
Throws:

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Checks if this buffer is equal to obj.
Overrides:
equals in interface Object

get

public abstract char get()
Reads the char at this buffer's current position, and then increments the position.
Throws:
BufferUnderflowException - If there are no remaining chars in this buffer.

get

public CharBuffer get(char[] dst)
This method transfers chars from this buffer into the given destination array.
Parameters:
dst - The byte array to write into.
Throws:
BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than dst.length chars remaining in this buffer.

get

public CharBuffer get(char[] dst,
                      int offset,
                      int length)
This method transfers chars from this buffer into the given destination array. Before the transfer, it checks if there are fewer than length chars remaining in this buffer.
Parameters:
dst - The destination array
offset - The offset within the array of the first char to be written; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length.
length - The maximum number of bytes to be written to the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length - offset.
Throws:
BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length chars remaining in this buffer.
IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold.

Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - If index is negative or not smaller than the buffer's limit.

hasArray

public final boolean hasArray()
Tells whether ot not this buffer is backed by an accessible char array.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Calculates a hash code for this buffer. This is done with int arithmetic, where ** represents exponentiation, by this formula:
s[position()] + 31 + (s[position()+1] + 30)*31**1 + ... + (s[limit()-1]+30)*31**(limit()-1). Where s is the buffer data. Note that the hashcode is dependent on buffer content, and therefore is not useful if the buffer content may change.
Overrides:
hashCode in interface Object
