Method Details

addAttribute

public void addAttribute(Object name,
                         Object value)
Adds an attribute with the given name and value to the set. If the set already contains an attribute with the given name, the attribute value is updated.
Parameters:
name - the attribute name (null not permitted).
value - the value (null not permitted).
Throws:
NullPointerException - if either argument is null.

addAttributes

public void addAttributes(AttributeSet attributes)
Adds all the attributes from attributes to this set.
Parameters:
attributes - the set of attributes to add (null not permitted).
Throws:

public void removeAttributes(Enumeration names)
Removes the attributes listed in names.
Parameters:
names - the attribute names (null not permitted).

removeAttributes

public void removeAttributes(AttributeSet attributes)
Removes attributes from this set if they are found in the given set. Only attributes whose key AND value are removed. Removes attributes only from this set, not from the resolving parent. Since the resolving parent is stored as an attribute, if attributes has the same resolving parent as this set, the parent will be removed from this set.
Parameters:
attributes - the attributes (null not permitted).

setResolveParent

public void setResolveParent(AttributeSet parent)
Sets the reolving parent for this set. When looking up an attribute, if it is not found in this set, then the resolving parent is also used for the lookup.
