Eclipse JDT
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.jdt.ui.text.java
Class ContentAssistInvocationContext


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.text.java.ContentAssistInvocationContext
Direct Known Subclasses:
JavaContentAssistInvocationContext

public class ContentAssistInvocationContext
extends Object

Describes the context of an invocation of content assist in a text viewer. The context knows the document, the invocation offset and can lazily compute the identifier prefix preceding the invocation offset. It may know the viewer.

Subclasses may add information to their environment. For example, source code editors may provide specific context information such as an AST.

Clients may instantiate and subclass.

Since:
3.2

Constructor Summary
protected ContentAssistInvocationContext ()
          Creates a new context with no viewer or invocation offset set.
  ContentAssistInvocationContext ( IDocument document, int offset)
          Creates a new context for the given document and offset.
  ContentAssistInvocationContext ( ITextViewer viewer)
          Equivalent to ContentAssistInvocationContext(viewer, viewer.getSelectedRange().x).
  ContentAssistInvocationContext ( ITextViewer viewer, int offset)
          Creates a new context for the given viewer and offset.
 
Method Summary
  CharSequence computeIdentifierPrefix ()
          Computes the identifier (as specified by Character.isJavaIdentifierPart(char) ) that immediately precedes the invocation offset.
 boolean equals ( Object obj)
          Invocation contexts are equal if they describe the same context and are of the same type.
  IDocument getDocument ()
          Returns the document that content assist is invoked on, or null if not known.
 int getInvocationOffset ()
          Returns the invocation offset.
  ITextViewer getViewer ()
          Returns the viewer, null if not available.
 int hashCode ()

Constructor Detail

ContentAssistInvocationContext

public ContentAssistInvocationContext(
ITextViewer viewer)
Equivalent to ContentAssistInvocationContext(viewer, viewer.getSelectedRange().x).

Parameters:
viewer - the text viewer that content assist is invoked in

ContentAssistInvocationContext

public ContentAssistInvocationContext(
ITextViewer viewer,
                                      int offset)
Creates a new context for the given viewer and offset.

Parameters:
viewer - the text viewer that content assist is invoked in
offset - the offset into the viewer's document where content assist is invoked at

ContentAssistInvocationContext

protected ContentAssistInvocationContext()
Creates a new context with no viewer or invocation offset set.


ContentAssistInvocationContext

public ContentAssistInvocationContext(
IDocument document,
                                      int offset)
Creates a new context for the given document and offset.

Parameters:
document - the document that content assist is invoked in
offset - the offset into the document where content assist is invoked at
Method Detail

getInvocationOffset

public final int getInvocationOffset()
Returns the invocation offset.

Returns:
the invocation offset

getViewer

public final 
ITextViewer getViewer()
Returns the viewer, null if not available.

Returns:
the viewer, possibly null

getDocument

public 
IDocument getDocument()
Returns the document that content assist is invoked on, or null if not known.

Returns:
the document or null

computeIdentifierPrefix

public 
CharSequence computeIdentifierPrefix()
                                     throws 
BadLocationException
Computes the identifier (as specified by Character.isJavaIdentifierPart(char) ) that immediately precedes the invocation offset.

Returns:
the prefix preceding the content assist invocation offset, null if there is no document
Throws:
BadLocationException - if accessing the document fails

equals

public boolean equals(
Object obj)
Invocation contexts are equal if they describe the same context and are of the same type. This implementation checks for null values and class equality. Subclasses should extend this method by adding checks for their context relevant fields (but not necessarily cached values).

Example:

 class MyContext extends ContentAssistInvocationContext {
        private final Object fState;
        private Object fCachedInfo;

        ...

        public boolean equals(Object obj) {
                if (!super.equals(obj))
                        return false;
                MyContext other= (MyContext) obj;
                return fState.equals(other.fState);
        }
 }
 

Subclasses should also extend Object.hashCode() .

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj -
Returns:

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
