• Method Detail

  • getTransferDataFlavors

    public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors()

    Returns an array of flavors in which this Transferable can provide the data. DataFlavor.stringFlavor is properly supported. Support for DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor is deprecated.

    Specified by:

    getTransferDataFlavors in interface Transferable

    Returns:

    an array of length two, whose elements are DataFlavor. stringFlavor and DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor

  • isDataFlavorSupported

    public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor)

    Returns whether the requested flavor is supported by this Transferable.

    Specified by:

    isDataFlavorSupported in interface Transferable

    Parameters:

    flavor - the requested flavor for the data

    Returns:

    true if flavor is equal to DataFlavor.stringFlavor or DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor; false if flavor is not one of the above flavors

    Throws:

    NullPointerException - if flavor is null

  • getTransferData

    public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor)
     throws UnsupportedFlavorException,
     IOException 

    Returns the Transferable's data in the requested DataFlavor if possible. If the desired flavor is DataFlavor.stringFlavor, or an equivalent flavor, the String representing the selection is returned. If the desired flavor is DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor, or an equivalent flavor, a Reader is returned. Note: The behavior of this method for DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor and equivalent DataFlavors is inconsistent with the definition of DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor.

    Specified by:

    getTransferData in interface Transferable

    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 either DataFlavor.stringFlavor or DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor

    IOException - if an IOException occurs while retrieving the data. By default, StringSelection never throws this exception, but a subclass may.

    NullPointerException - if flavor is null
