Class CachedFileContents<T>

java.lang.Object

com.android.tools.build.apkzlib.utils.CachedFileContents<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of cached contents

public class CachedFileContents<T>
extends java.lang.Object

A cache for file contents. The cache allows closing a file and saving in memory its contents (or some related information). It can then be used to check if the contents are still valid at some later time. Typical usage flow is:

 Object fileRepresentation = // ...
 File toWrite = // ...
 // Write file contents and update in memory representation
 CachedFileContents<Object> contents = new CachedFileContents<Object>(toWrite);
 contents.closed(fileRepresentation);

 // Later, when data is needed:
 if (contents.isValid()) {
     fileRepresentation = contents.getCache();
 } else {
     // Re-read the file and recreate the file representation
 }

cache - an optional cache to save

isValid

public boolean isValid()

Are the cached contents still valid? If this method determines that the file has been modified since the last time closed(Object) was invoked.

Returns:

are the cached contents still valid? If this method returns false, the cache is cleared

getCache

@Nullable
public T getCache()

Obtains the cached data set with closed(Object) if the file has not been modified since closed(Object) was invoked.

Returns:

the last cached data or null if the file has been modified since closed(Object) has been invoked

getFile

public java.io.File getFile()

Obtains the file used for caching.

Returns:

the file; this file always exists and contains the old (cached) contents of the file
