DataTransferer.DataFlavorComparator

Class Overview

An IndexedComparator which compares two DataFlavors. For text flavors, the comparison follows the rules outlined in DataFlavor.selectBestTextFlavor. For non-text flavors, unknown application MIME types are preferred, followed by known application/x-java-* MIME types. Unknown application types are preferred because if the user provides his own data flavor, it will likely be the most descriptive one. For flavors which are otherwise equal, the flavors' native formats are compared, with greater long values taking precedence.

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class sun.awt.datatransfer.DataTransferer.IndexedComparator static int compareIndices(Map indexMap, Object obj1, Object obj2, Integer fallbackIndex) Helper method to compare two objects by their Integer indices in the given map. static int compareLongs(Map indexMap, Object obj1, Object obj2, Long fallbackIndex) Helper method to compare two objects by their Long indices in the given map.
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.util.Comparator abstract int compare(T o1, T o2) Compares its two arguments for order. abstract boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this comparator.
