Method Details

clearParameterizedCompletionParams

public void clearParameterizedCompletionParams()

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Clears the values used to identify and insert "parameterized completions" (e.g. functions or methods). After this method is called, functions and methods will not have their parameters auto-completed.

Specified by:

clearParameterizedCompletionParams in interface CompletionProvider

See Also:

• CompletionProvider.setParameterizedCompletionParams(char, String, char)

getCompletions

public List<Completion> getCompletions(AutoCompletableTextArea comp)

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Gets the possible completions for the text component at the current caret position.

Specified by:

getCompletions in interface CompletionProvider

Parameters:

comp - The text component.

Returns:

The list of Completions. If no completions are available, this method should return an empty list.

getCompletionsImpl

protected abstract List<Completion> getCompletionsImpl(AutoCompletableTextArea comp)

Does the dirty work of creating a list of completions.

Parameters:

comp - The text component to look in.

Returns:

The list of possible completions, or an empty list if there are none.

getListCellRenderer

public ListCellRenderer<Object> getListCellRenderer()

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns the cell renderer for completions returned from this provider.

Specified by:

getListCellRenderer in interface CompletionProvider

Returns:

The cell renderer, or null if the default should be used.

See Also:

• CompletionProvider.setListCellRenderer(ListCellRenderer)

getParameterChoicesProvider

public ParameterChoicesProvider getParameterChoicesProvider()

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns an object that can return a list of completion choices for parameters. This is used when a user code-completes a parameterized completion, such as a function or method. For any parameter to the function/method, this object can return possible completions.

Specified by:

getParameterChoicesProvider in interface CompletionProvider

Returns:

The parameter choices provider, or null if none is installed.

getParameterListEnd

public char getParameterListEnd()

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns the text that marks the end of a list of parameters to a function or method.

Specified by:

getParameterListEnd in interface CompletionProvider

Returns:

The text for a parameter list end, for example, ')', or 0 if none.

See Also:

• CompletionProvider.getParameterListStart()
• CompletionProvider.getParameterListSeparator()
• CompletionProvider.setParameterizedCompletionParams(char, String, char)

getParameterListSeparator

public String getParameterListSeparator()

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns the text that separates parameters to a function or method.

Specified by:

getParameterListSeparator in interface CompletionProvider

Returns:

The text that separates parameters, for example, ", ".

See Also:

• CompletionProvider.getParameterListStart()
• CompletionProvider.getParameterListEnd()
• CompletionProvider.setParameterizedCompletionParams(char, String, char)

getParameterListStart

public char getParameterListStart()

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns the text that marks the start of a list of parameters to a function or method.

Specified by:

getParameterListStart in interface CompletionProvider

Returns:

The text for a parameter list start, for example, "(".

See Also:

• CompletionProvider.getParameterListEnd()
• CompletionProvider.getParameterListSeparator()
• CompletionProvider.setParameterizedCompletionParams(char, String, char)

getParent

public CompletionProvider getParent()

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Returns the parent completion provider.

Specified by:

getParent in interface CompletionProvider

Returns:

The parent completion provider.

See Also:

• CompletionProvider.setParent(CompletionProvider)

isAutoActivateOkay

public boolean isAutoActivateOkay(AutoCompletableTextArea tc)

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

This method is called if auto-activation is enabled in the parent AutoCompletion after the user types a single character. This provider should check the text at the current caret position of the text component, and decide whether auto-activation would be appropriate here. For example, a CompletionProvider for Java might want to return true for this method only if the last character typed was a '.'.

Specified by:

isAutoActivateOkay in interface CompletionProvider

Parameters:

tc - The text component.

Returns:

Whether auto-activation would be appropriate.

setAutoActivationRules

public void setAutoActivationRules(boolean letters,
 String others)

Sets the characters that auto-activation should occur after. A Java completion provider, for example, might want to set others to ".", to allow auto-activation for members of an object.

Parameters:

letters - Whether auto-activation should occur after any letter.

others - A string of (non-letter) chars that auto-activation should occur after. This may be null.

setParameterChoicesProvider

public void setParameterChoicesProvider(ParameterChoicesProvider pcp)

Sets the param choices provider. This is used when a user code-completes a parameterized completion, such as a function or method. For any parameter to the function/method, this object can return possible completions.

Parameters:

pcp - The parameter choices provider, or null for none.

See Also:

• getParameterChoicesProvider()

setListCellRenderer

public void setListCellRenderer(ListCellRenderer<Object> r)

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Sets the renderer to use when displaying completion choices.

Specified by:

setListCellRenderer in interface CompletionProvider

Parameters:

r - The renderer to use.

See Also:

• CompletionProvider.getListCellRenderer()

setParameterizedCompletionParams

public void setParameterizedCompletionParams(char listStart,
 String separator,
 char listEnd)

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Sets the values used to identify and insert "parameterized completions" (e.g. functions or methods). If this method isn't called, functions and methods will not have their parameters auto-completed.

Specified by:

setParameterizedCompletionParams in interface CompletionProvider

Parameters:

listStart - The character that marks the beginning of a list of parameters, such as '(' in C or Java.

separator - Text that should separate parameters in a parameter list when one is inserted. For example, ", ".

listEnd - The character that marks the end of a list of parameters, such as ')' in C or Java.

See Also:

• CompletionProvider.clearParameterizedCompletionParams()

setParent

public void setParent(CompletionProvider parent)

Description copied from interface: CompletionProvider

Sets the parent completion provider.

Specified by:

setParent in interface CompletionProvider

Parameters:

parent - The parent provider. null means there will be no parent provider.
