Class CommandLineParser

java.lang.Object
  com.android.sdklib.util.CommandLineParser

public class CommandLineParser
extends java.lang.Object

Parses the command-line and stores flags needed or requested.

This is a base class. To be useful you want to:

• override it.
• pass an action array to the constructor.
• define flags for your actions.

To use, call parseArgs(String[]) and then call getValue(String, String, String).

Nested Class Summary

Constructor Detail

CommandLineParser

public CommandLineParser(com.android.utils.ILogger logger,
                         java.lang.String[][] actions)

Constructs a new command-line processor.

Parameters:

logger - An SDK logger object. Must not be null.

actions - The list of actions recognized on the command-line. See the javadoc of mActions for more details.

See Also:

mActions

Method Detail

acceptLackOfVerb

public boolean acceptLackOfVerb()

Indicates if this command-line can work when no verb is specified. The default is false, which generates an error when no verb/object is specified. Derived implementations can set this to true if they can deal with a lack of verb/action.

isVerbose

public boolean isVerbose()

Helper that returns true if --verbose was requested.

isSilent

public boolean isSilent()

Helper that returns true if --silent was requested.

isHelpRequested

public boolean isHelpRequested()

Helper that returns true if --help was requested.

getVerb

public java.lang.String getVerb()

Returns the verb name from the command-line. Can be null.

getDirectObject

public java.lang.String getDirectObject()

Returns the direct object name from the command-line. Can be null.

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.String verb,
                                 java.lang.String directObject,
                                 java.lang.String longFlagName)

Raw access to parsed parameter values.

The default is to scan all parameters. Parameters that have been explicitly set on the command line are returned first. Otherwise one with a non-null value is returned.

Both a verb and a direct object filter can be specified. When they are non-null they limit the scope of the search.

If nothing has been found, return the last default value seen matching the filter.

Parameters:

verb - The verb name, including GLOBAL_FLAG_VERB. If null, all possible verbs that match the direct object condition will be examined and the first value set will be used.

directObject - The direct object name, including NO_VERB_OBJECT. If null, all possible direct objects that match the verb condition will be examined and the first value set will be used.

longFlagName - The long flag name for the given action. Mandatory. Cannot be null.

Returns:

The current value object stored in the parameter, which depends on the argument mode.

setValue

protected void setValue(java.lang.String verb,
                        java.lang.String directObject,
                        java.lang.String longFlagName,
                        java.lang.Object value)

Internal setter for raw parameter value.

Parameters:

verb - The verb name, including GLOBAL_FLAG_VERB.

directObject - The direct object name, including NO_VERB_OBJECT.

longFlagName - The long flag name for the given action.

value - The new current value object stored in the parameter, which depends on the argument mode.

parseArgs

public void parseArgs(java.lang.String[] args)

Parses the command-line arguments.

This method will exit and not return if a parsing error arise.

Parameters:

args - The arguments typically received by a main method.
