interface Appendable
Known Indirect Subclasses
| BufferedWriter |
Writes text to a character-output stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient writing of single characters, arrays, and strings. |
| CharArrayWriter |
This class implements a character buffer that can be used as an Writer. |
| FileWriter |
Writes text to character files using a default buffer size. |
| FilterWriter |
Abstract class for writing filtered character streams. |
| OutputStreamWriter |
An OutputStreamWriter is a bridge from character streams to byte streams: Characters written to it are encoded into bytes using a specified |
| PipedWriter |
Piped character-output streams. |
| PrintWriter |
Prints formatted representations of objects to a text-output stream. |
| SpannableStringBuilder |
This is the class for text whose content and markup can both be changed. |
| StringWriter |
A character stream that collects its output in a string buffer, which can then be used to construct a string. |
An object to which char sequences and values can be appended. The Appendable interface must be implemented by any class whose instances are intended to receive formatted output from a java.util.Formatter.
The characters to be appended should be valid Unicode characters as described in Unicode Character Representation. Note that supplementary characters may be composed of multiple 16-bit char values.
Appendables are not necessarily safe for multithreaded access. Thread safety is the responsibility of classes that extend and implement this interface.
Since this interface may be implemented by existing classes with different styles of error handling there is no guarantee that errors will be propagated to the invoker.
Summary
| Public methods | |

| abstract Appendable |
Appends the specified character sequence to this |
| abstract Appendable |
Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this |
Public methods
append
abstract fun append(c: Char): Appendable
Appends the specified character to this Appendable.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
c |
Char: The character to append |
| Return | |
|---|---|
Appendable |
A reference to this Appendable |
| Exceptions | |
|---|---|
java.io.IOException |
If an I/O error occurs |
append
abstract fun append(csq: CharSequence?): Appendable
Appends the specified character sequence to this Appendable.
Depending on which class implements the character sequence csq, the entire sequence may not be appended. For instance, if csq is a java.nio.CharBuffer then the subsequence to append is defined by the buffer's position and limit.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
csq |
CharSequence?: The character sequence to append. If csq is null, then the four characters "null" are appended to this Appendable. |
| Return | |
|---|---|
Appendable |
A reference to this Appendable |
| Exceptions | |
|---|---|
java.io.IOException |
If an I/O error occurs |
append
abstract fun append(
csq: CharSequence?,
start: Int,
end: Int
): Appendable
Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this Appendable.
An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq, start, end) when csq is not null, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation
out.append(csq.subSequence(start, end))
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
csq |
CharSequence?: The character sequence from which a subsequence will be appended. If csq is null, then characters will be appended as if csq contained the four characters "null". |
start |
Int: The index of the first character in the subsequence |
end |
Int: The index of the character following the last character in the subsequence |
| Return | |
|---|---|
Appendable |
A reference to this Appendable |
| Exceptions | |
|---|---|
java.io.IOException |
If an I/O error occurs |
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException |
If start or end are negative, start is greater than end, or end is greater than csq.length() |
