 public class DelayQueue<E extends Delayed> extends AbstractQueue<E> implements BlockingQueue<E> An unbounded blocking queue ofDelayedelements, in which an element can only be taken when its delay has expired. The head of the queue is thatDelayedelement whose delay expired furthest in the past. If no delay has expired there is no head andpollwill returnnull. Expiration occurs when an element'sgetDelay(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS)method returns a value less than or equal to zero. Even though unexpired elements cannot be removed usingtakeorpoll, they are otherwise treated as normal elements. For example, thesizemethod returns the count of both expired and unexpired elements. This queue does not permit null elements.This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the CollectionandIteratorinterfaces. The Iterator provided in methoditerator()is not guaranteed to traverse the elements of the DelayQueue in any particular order.This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework. - Since:

- Parameters:
- e- the element to add
- Throws:
- NullPointerException- if the specified element is null
 
 -

- unit- This parameter is ignored as the method never blocks
- Returns:
- true
- Throws:
- NullPointerException- if the specified element is null
 
 - 
pollpublic E poll() Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, or returnsnullif this queue has no elements with an expired delay.
 - 
takepublic E take() throws InterruptedException Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary until an element with an expired delay is available on this queue.- Specified by:
- takein interface- BlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Returns:
- the head of this queue
- Throws:
- InterruptedException- if interrupted while waiting
 
 - 
pollpublic E poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary until an element with an expired delay is available on this queue, or the specified wait time expires.- Specified by:
- pollin interface- BlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Parameters:
- timeout- how long to wait before giving up, in units of- unit
- unit- a- TimeUnitdetermining how to interpret the- timeoutparameter
- Returns:
- the head of this queue, or nullif the specified waiting time elapses before an element with an expired delay becomes available
- Throws:
- InterruptedException- if interrupted while waiting
 
 - 
peekpublic E peek() Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue, or returnsnullif this queue is empty. Unlikepoll, if no expired elements are available in the queue, this method returns the element that will expire next, if one exists.
 - 
drainTopublic int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c) Description copied from interface:BlockingQueueRemoves all available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. This operation may be more efficient than repeatedly polling this queue. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collectioncmay result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result inIllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.- Specified by:
- drainToin interface- BlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Parameters:
- c- the collection to transfer elements into
- Returns:
- the number of elements transferred
- Throws:
- UnsupportedOperationException- if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection
- ClassCastException- if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
- NullPointerException- if the specified collection is null
- IllegalArgumentException- if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
 
 - 
drainTopublic int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c, int maxElements) Description copied from interface:BlockingQueueRemoves at most the given number of available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collectioncmay result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result inIllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.- Specified by:
- drainToin interface- BlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Parameters:
- c- the collection to transfer elements into
- maxElements- the maximum number of elements to transfer
- Returns:
- the number of elements transferred
- Throws:
- UnsupportedOperationException- if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection
- ClassCastException- if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
- NullPointerException- if the specified collection is null
- IllegalArgumentException- if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection
 
 - 
clearpublic void clear() Atomically removes all of the elements from this delay queue. The queue will be empty after this call returns. Elements with an unexpired delay are not waited for; they are simply discarded from the queue.- Specified by:
- clearin interface- Collection<E extends Delayed>
- Overrides:
- clearin class- AbstractQueue<E extends Delayed>
 
 - 
remainingCapacitypublic int remainingCapacity() Always returnsInteger.MAX_VALUEbecause aDelayQueueis not capacity constrained.- Specified by:
- remainingCapacityin interface- BlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Returns:
- Integer.MAX_VALUE
 
 - 
toArraypublic Object[] toArray() Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue. The returned array elements are in no particular order.The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this queue. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array. This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. - Specified by:
- toArrayin interface- Collection<E extends Delayed>
- Overrides:
- toArrayin class- AbstractCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Returns:
- an array containing all of the elements in this queue
 
 - 
toArraypublic <T> T[] toArray(T[] a) Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. The returned array elements are in no particular order. If the queue fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this queue.If this queue fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this queue), the element in the array immediately following the end of the queue is set to null.Like the toArray()method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.The following code can be used to dump a delay queue into a newly allocated array of Delayed:
 Note thatDelayed[] a = q.toArray(new Delayed[0]);toArray(new Object[0])is identical in function totoArray().- Specified by:
- toArrayin interface- Collection<E extends Delayed>
- Overrides:
- toArrayin class- AbstractCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Type Parameters:
- T- the component type of the array to contain the collection
- Parameters:
- a- the array into which the elements of the queue are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose
- Returns:
- an array containing all of the elements in this queue
- Throws:
- ArrayStoreException- if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this queue
- NullPointerException- if the specified array is null
 
 - 
removepublic boolean remove(Object o) Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present, whether or not it has expired.- Specified by:
- removein interface- BlockingQueue<E extends Delayed>
- Specified by:
- removein interface- Collection<E extends Delayed>
- Overrides:
- removein class- AbstractCollection<E extends Delayed>
- Parameters:
- o- element to be removed from this collection, if present
- Returns:
- trueif an element was removed as a result of this call
 
 - 
iteratorpublic Iterator<E> iterator() Returns an iterator over all the elements (both expired and unexpired) in this queue. The iterator does not return the elements in any particular order.The returned iterator is weakly consistent.
