AtomicReference

open class AtomicReference<V : Any!> : Serializable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference

An object reference that may be updated atomically. See the package specification for description of the properties of atomic variables.

Summary

Public constructors
AtomicReference(initialValue: V)

Creates a new AtomicReference with the given initial value.

Creates a new AtomicReference with null initial value.

Public methods
V
accumulateAndGet(x: V, accumulatorFunction: BinaryOperator<V>!)

Atomically updates the current value with the results of applying the given function to the current and given values, returning the updated value.

Boolean
compareAndSet(expect: V, update: V)

Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value.

V
get()

Gets the current value.

V
getAndAccumulate(x: V, accumulatorFunction: BinaryOperator<V>!)

Atomically updates the current value with the results of applying the given function to the current and given values, returning the previous value.

V
getAndSet(newValue: V)

Atomically sets to the given value and returns the old value.

V
getAndUpdate(updateFunction: UnaryOperator<V>!)

Atomically updates the current value with the results of applying the given function, returning the previous value.

Unit
lazySet(newValue: V)

Eventually sets to the given value.

Unit
set(newValue: V)

Sets to the given value.

open String

Returns the String representation of the current value.

V
updateAndGet(updateFunction: UnaryOperator<V>!)

Atomically updates the current value with the results of applying the given function, returning the updated value.

Boolean
weakCompareAndSet(expect: V, update: V)

Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value.

Public constructors

AtomicReference

Added in API level 1
AtomicReference(initialValue: V)

Creates a new AtomicReference with the given initial value.

Parameters
initialValue V: the initial value

AtomicReference

Added in API level 1
AtomicReference()

Creates a new AtomicReference with null initial value.

Public methods

accumulateAndGet

Added in API level 24
fun accumulateAndGet(
    x: V,
    accumulatorFunction: BinaryOperator<V>!
): V

Atomically updates the current value with the results of applying the given function to the current and given values, returning the updated value. The function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads. The function is applied with the current value as its first argument, and the given update as the second argument.

Parameters
x V: the update value
accumulatorFunction BinaryOperator<V>!: a side-effect-free function of two arguments
Return
V the updated value

compareAndSet

Added in API level 1
fun compareAndSet(
    expect: V,
    update: V
): Boolean

Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value.

Parameters
expect V: the expected value
update V: the new value
Return
Boolean true if successful. False return indicates that the actual value was not equal to the expected value.

get

Added in API level 1
fun get(): V

Gets the current value.

Return
V the current value

getAndAccumulate

Added in API level 24
fun getAndAccumulate(
    x: V,
    accumulatorFunction: BinaryOperator<V>!
): V

Atomically updates the current value with the results of applying the given function to the current and given values, returning the previous value. The function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads. The function is applied with the current value as its first argument, and the given update as the second argument.

Parameters
x V: the update value
accumulatorFunction BinaryOperator<V>!: a side-effect-free function of two arguments
Return
V the previous value

getAndSet

Added in API level 1
fun getAndSet(newValue: V): V

Atomically sets to the given value and returns the old value.

Parameters
newValue V: the new value
Return
V the previous value

getAndUpdate

Added in API level 24
fun getAndUpdate(updateFunction: UnaryOperator<V>!): V

Atomically updates the current value with the results of applying the given function, returning the previous value. The function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads.

Parameters
updateFunction UnaryOperator<V>!: a side-effect-free function
Return
V the previous value

lazySet

Added in API level 9
fun lazySet(newValue: V): Unit

Eventually sets to the given value.

Parameters
newValue V: the new value

set

Added in API level 1
fun set(newValue: V): Unit

Sets to the given value.

Parameters
newValue V: the new value

toString

Added in API level 1
open fun toString(): String

Returns the String representation of the current value.

Return
String the String representation of the current value

updateAndGet

Added in API level 24
fun updateAndGet(updateFunction: UnaryOperator<V>!): V

Atomically updates the current value with the results of applying the given function, returning the updated value. The function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads.

Parameters
updateFunction UnaryOperator<V>!: a side-effect-free function
Return
V the updated value

weakCompareAndSet

Added in API level 1
fun weakCompareAndSet(
    expect: V,
    update: V
): Boolean

Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value == the expected value.

May fail spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees, so is only rarely an appropriate alternative to compareAndSet.

Parameters
expect V: the expected value
update V: the new value
Return
Boolean true if successful
