↳ | java.awt.datatransfer.SystemFlavorMap |
The SystemFlavorMap is a configurable map between "natives" (Strings), which correspond to platform-specific data formats, and "flavors" (DataFlavors), which correspond to platform-independent MIME types. This mapping is used by the data transfer subsystem to transfer data between Java and native applications, and between Java applications in separate VMs.
In the Sun reference implementation, the default SystemFlavorMap is
initialized by the file jre/lib/flavormap.properties
and the
contents of the URL referenced by the AWT property
AWT.DnD.flavorMapFileURL
. See flavormap.properties
for details.

Adds a mapping from a single String
native to a single
DataFlavor
. Unlike getFlavorsForNative
, the
mapping will only be established in one direction, and the native will
not be encoded. To establish a two-way mapping, call
addUnencodedNativeForFlavor
as well. The new mapping will
be of lower priority than any existing mapping.
This method has no effect if a mapping from the specified
String
native to the specified or equal
DataFlavor
already exists.
nat | the String native key for the mapping |

flav | the DataFlavor value for the mapping |
NullPointerException | if nat or flav is null |

an encoded String
native
Encodes a DataFlavor
for use as a String
native. The format of an encoded DataFlavor
is
implementation-dependent. The only restrictions are:
null
if and only if the
specified DataFlavor
is null
or its MIME type

String
s are equal if and only if the MIME type
String

with JAVA_DATAFLAVOR:

Returns the default FlavorMap for this thread's ClassLoader.
Returns a List
of DataFlavor
s to which the
specified String
native can be translated by the data
transfer subsystem. The List
will be sorted from best
DataFlavor
to worst. That is, the first
DataFlavor
will best reflect data in the specified
native to a Java application.
If the specified native is previously unknown to the data transfer
subsystem, and that native has been properly encoded, then invoking this
method will establish a mapping in both directions between the specified
native and a DataFlavor
whose MIME type is a decoded
version of the native.
If the specified native is not a properly encoded native and the
mappings for this native have not been altered with
setFlavorsForNative
, then the contents of the
List
is platform dependent, but null
cannot be returned.
nat | the native whose corresponding DataFlavor s
should be returned. If null is specified, all
DataFlavor s currently known to the data transfer
subsystem are returned in a non-deterministic order. |

java.util.List
of DataFlavor
objects into which platform-specific data in the specified,
platform-specific native can be translatedReturns a Map
of the specified String
natives
to their most preferred DataFlavor
. Each
DataFlavor
value will be the same as the first
DataFlavor
in the List returned by
getFlavorsForNative
for the specified native.
If a specified native is previously unknown to the data transfer
subsystem, and that native has been properly encoded, then invoking this
method will establish a mapping in both directions between the specified
native and a DataFlavor
whose MIME type is a decoded
version of the native.
natives | an array of String s which will be the
key set of the returned Map . If null is
specified, a mapping of all supported String natives
to their most preferred DataFlavor s will be
returned. |
---|
java.util.Map
of String
natives to
DataFlavor
sReturns a List
of String
natives to which the
specified DataFlavor
can be translated by the data transfer
subsystem. The List
will be sorted from best native to
worst. That is, the first native will best reflect data in the specified
flavor to the underlying native platform.
If the specified DataFlavor
is previously unknown to the
data transfer subsystem and the data transfer subsystem is unable to
translate this DataFlavor
to any existing native, then
invoking this method will establish a
mapping in both directions between the specified DataFlavor
and an encoded version of its MIME type as its native.
flav | the DataFlavor whose corresponding natives
should be returned. If null is specified, all
natives currently known to the data transfer subsystem are
returned in a non-deterministic order. |
---|
java.util.List
of java.lang.String
objects which are platform-specific representations of platform-
specific data formatsReturns a Map
of the specified DataFlavor
s to
their most preferred String
native. Each native value will
be the same as the first native in the List returned by
getNativesForFlavor
for the specified flavor.
If a specified DataFlavor
is previously unknown to the
data transfer subsystem, then invoking this method will establish a
mapping in both directions between the specified DataFlavor
and an encoded version of its MIME type as its native.
flavors | an array of DataFlavor s which will be the
key set of the returned Map . If null is
specified, a mapping of all DataFlavor s known to the
data transfer subsystem to their most preferred
String natives will be returned. |

false
otherwise
Discards the current mappings for the specified String
native, and creates new mappings to the specified
DataFlavor
s. Unlike getFlavorsForNative
, the
mappings will only be established in one direction, and the natives need
not be encoded. To establish two-way mappings, call
setNativesForFlavor
as well. The first
DataFlavor
in the array will represent the highest priority
mapping. Subsequent DataFlavor
s will represent mappings of
decreasing priority.
If the array contains several elements that reference equal
DataFlavor
s, this method will establish new mappings
for the first of those elements and ignore the rest of them.
It is recommended that client code not reset mappings established by the data transfer subsystem. This method should only be used for application-level mappings.
nat | the String native key for the mappings |

flavors | the DataFlavor values for the mappings |
NullPointerException | if nat or flavors is null
