Method Detail

clone

public NSObject clone()

Description copied from class: NSObject

Creates and returns a deep copy of this instance.

Specified by:

clone in class NSObject

Returns:

A clone of this instance.

toJavaObject

public Object toJavaObject()

Description copied from class: NSObject

Converts this NSObject into an equivalent object of the Java Runtime Environment.

• NSArray objects are converted to arrays.
• NSDictionary objects are converted to objects extending the Map class.
• NSSet objects are converted to objects extending the Set class.
• NSNumber objects are converted to primitive number values (int, long, double or boolean).
• NSString objects are converted to String objects.
• NSData objects are converted to byte arrays.
• NSDate objects are converted to Date objects.
• UID objects are converted to byte arrays.

Specified by:

toJavaObject in class NSObject

Returns:

A native java object representing this NSObject's value.

toASCII

protected void toASCII(StringBuilder ascii,
                       int level)

Description copied from class: NSObject

Generates the ASCII representation of this object. The generated ASCII representation does not end with a newline. Complies with the Old-Style ASCII Property Lists definition.

Parameters:

ascii - The StringBuilder onto which the ASCII representation is appended.

level - The indentation level of the object.

toASCIIGnuStep

protected void toASCIIGnuStep(StringBuilder ascii,
                              int level)

Description copied from class: NSObject

Generates the ASCII representation of this object in the GnuStep format. The generated ASCII representation does not end with a newline.

Parameters:

ascii - The StringBuilder onto which the ASCII representation is appended.

level - The indentation level of the object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(NSObject o)
