public class QDirIterator
extends QtJambiObject

The QDirIterator class provides an iterator for directory entrylists. You can use QDirIterator to navigate entries of a directory one at a time. It is similar to QDir::entryList() and QDir::entryInfoList(), but because it lists entries one at a time instead of all at once, it scales better and is more suitable for large directories. It also supports listing directory contents recursively, and following symbolic links. Unlike QDir::entryList(), QDirIterator does not support sorting.

The QDirIterator constructor takes a QDir or a directory as argument. After construction, the iterator is located before the first directory entry. Here's how to iterate over all the entries sequentially:

        QDirIterator it = new QDirIterator("/etc",
            new QDirIterator.IteratorFlags(QDirIterator.IteratorFlag.Subdirectories));
        while (it.hasNext()) {
            System.out.println(it.next());

            // /etc/.
            // /etc/..
            // /etc/X11
            // /etc/X11/fs
            // ...
        }
The next() function returns the path to the next directory entry and advances the iterator. You can also call filePath() to get the current file path without advancing the iterator. The fileName() function returns only the name of the file, similar to how QDir::entryList() works. You can also call fileInfo() to get a QFileInfo for the current entry.

Unlike Qt's container iterators, QDirIterator is uni-directional (i.e., you cannot iterate directories in reverse order) and does not allow random access.

QDirIterator works with all supported file engines, and is implemented using QAbstractFileEngineIterator.

Method Detail

fileInfo

public final QFileInfo fileInfo()
Returns a QFileInfo for the current directory entry. If the current entry is invalid (i.e., isValid() returns false), a null QFileInfo is returned.

See also:
filePath(), and fileName().


fileName

public final java.lang.String fileName()
Returns the file name for the current directory entry, without the path prepended. If the current entry is invalid (i.e., isValid() returns false), a null QString is returned.

This function is provided for the convenience when iterating single directories. For recursive iteration, you should call filePath() or fileInfo() instead.

See also:
filePath(), and fileInfo().


filePath

public final java.lang.String filePath()
Returns the full file path for the current directory entry. If the current entry is invalid (i.e., isValid() returns false), a null QString is returned.

See also:
fileInfo(), and fileName().


hasNext

public final boolean hasNext()
Returns true if there is at least one more entry in the directory; otherwise, false is returned.

See also:
next(), fileName(), filePath(), and fileInfo().


next

public final java.lang.String next()
Advances the iterator to the next entry, and returns the file path of this new entry. If hasNext() returns false, this function does nothing, and returns a null QString.

You can call fileName() or filePath() to get the current entry file name or path, or fileInfo() to get a QFileInfo for the current entry.

See also:
hasNext(), fileName(), filePath(), and fileInfo().


path

public final java.lang.String path()
Returns the base directory of the iterator.


fromNativePointer

public static QDirIterator fromNativePointer(QNativePointer nativePointer)
This method returns the QDirIterator instance pointed to by nativePointer.
