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("/etc", QDirIterator::Subdirectories);
    while (it.hasNext()) {
        qDebug() << 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.

Constructor Detail

QDirIterator

public QDirIterator(QDir dir)

Equivalent to QDirIterator(dir, NoIteratorFlags).


QDirIterator

public QDirIterator(QDir dir,
                    QDirIterator.IteratorFlags flags)

Constructs a QDirIterator that can iterate over dir's entrylist, using dir's name filters and regular filters. You can pass options via flags to decide how the directory should be iterated.

By default, flags is NoIteratorFlags, which provides the same behavior as in QDir::entryList().

The sorting in dir is ignored.

hasNext, next, IteratorFlags

QDirIterator

public QDirIterator(java.lang.String path)

Equivalent to QDirIterator(path, NoIteratorFlags).


QDirIterator

public QDirIterator(java.lang.String path,
                    QDirIterator.IteratorFlags flags)

Constructs a QDirIterator that can iterate over path. You can pass options via flags to decide how the directory should be iterated.

By default, flags is NoIteratorFlags, which provides the same behavior as in QDir::entryList().

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, 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, 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, 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, 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, fileInfo

path

public final java.lang.String path()

Returns the base directory of the iterator.


fromNativePointer

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

Parameters:
nativePointer - the QNativePointer of which object should be returned.
