ClipboardTransferable

Class Overview

Reads all of the data from the system Clipboard which the data transfer subsystem knows how to translate. This includes all text data, File Lists, Serializable objects, Remote objects, and properly registered, arbitrary data as InputStreams. The data is stored in byte format until requested by client code. At that point, the data is converted, if necessary, into the proper format to deliver to the application. This hybrid pre-fetch/delayed-rendering approach allows us to circumvent the API restriction that client code cannot lock the Clipboard to discover its formats before requesting data in a particular format, while avoiding the overhead of fully rendering all data ahead of time.

From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
From interface java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable abstract Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) Returns an object which represents the data to be transferred. abstract DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() Returns an array of DataFlavor objects indicating the flavors the data can be provided in. abstract boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor) Returns whether or not the specified data flavor is supported for this object.
