    SystemFlavorMap

    public interface FlavorMap
    A two-way Map between "natives" (Strings), which correspond to platform-specific data formats, and "flavors" (DataFlavors), which correspond to platform-independent MIME types. FlavorMaps need not be symmetric, but typically are.

      • getNativesForFlavors

        Map<DataFlavor,String> getNativesForFlavors​(DataFlavor[] flavors)
        Returns a Map of the specified DataFlavors to their corresponding String native. The returned Map is a modifiable copy of this FlavorMap's internal data. Client code is free to modify the Map without affecting this object.
        Parameters:
        flavors - an array of DataFlavors which will be the key set of the returned Map. If null is specified, a mapping of all DataFlavors currently known to this FlavorMap to their corresponding String natives will be returned.
        Returns:
        a java.util.Map of DataFlavors to String natives

      • getFlavorsForNatives

        Map<String,DataFlavor> getFlavorsForNatives​(String[] natives)
        Returns a Map of the specified String natives to their corresponding DataFlavor. The returned Map is a modifiable copy of this FlavorMap's internal data. Client code is free to modify the Map without affecting this object.
        Parameters:
        natives - an array of Strings which will be the key set of the returned Map. If null is specified, a mapping of all String natives currently known to this FlavorMap to their corresponding DataFlavors will be returned.
        Returns:
        a java.util.Map of String natives to DataFlavors
