All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable

public class VCardReader
extends Object
implements Closeable

Parses VCard objects from a plain-text vCard data stream.

Example:

 File file = new File("vcards.vcf");

Constructor Detail

VCardReader

public VCardReader(String str)

Creates a reader that parses vCards from a string.

Parameters:

str - the string to read the vCards from

VCardReader

public VCardReader(InputStream in)

Creates a reader that parses vCards from an input stream.

Parameters:

in - the input stream to read the vCards from

VCardReader

public VCardReader(File file)
            throws FileNotFoundException

Creates a reader that parses vCards from a file.

Parameters:

file - the file to read the vCards from

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - if the file doesn't exist

VCardReader

public VCardReader(Reader reader)

Creates a reader that parses vCards from a reader.

Parameters:

reader - the reader to read the vCards from

Method Detail

isCaretDecodingEnabled

public boolean isCaretDecodingEnabled()

Gets whether the reader will decode parameter values that use circumflex accent encoding (enabled by default). This escaping mechanism allows newlines and double quotes to be included in parameter values.

Returns:

true if circumflex accent decoding is enabled, false if not

See Also:

VCardRawReader.isCaretDecodingEnabled()

setCaretDecodingEnabled

public void setCaretDecodingEnabled(boolean enable)

Sets whether the reader will decode parameter values that use circumflex accent encoding (enabled by default). This escaping mechanism allows newlines and double quotes to be included in parameter values.

Parameters:

enable - true to use circumflex accent decoding, false not to

See Also:

VCardRawReader.setCaretDecodingEnabled(boolean)

registerScribe

public void registerScribe(VCardPropertyScribe<? extends VCardProperty> scribe)

Registers a property scribe. This is the same as calling:

getScribeIndex().register(scribe)

Parameters:

scribe - the scribe to register

getScribeIndex

public ScribeIndex getScribeIndex()

Gets the scribe index.

Returns:

the scribe index

setScribeIndex

public void setScribeIndex(ScribeIndex index)

Sets the scribe index.

Parameters:

index - the scribe index

getWarnings

public List<String> getWarnings()

Gets the warnings from the last vCard that was unmarshalled. This list is reset every time a new vCard is read.

Returns:

the warnings or empty list if there were no warnings

readNext

public VCard readNext()
               throws IOException

Reads the next vCard from the data stream.

Returns:

the next vCard or null if there are no more

Throws:

IOException - if there's a problem reading from the stream

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Closes the underlying Reader object.

Specified by:
