Class FeatureCollection

java.lang.Object

com.mapbox.geojson.FeatureCollection

All Implemented Interfaces:

GeoJson

public abstract class FeatureCollection
extends java.lang.Object
implements GeoJson

This represents a GeoJson Feature Collection which holds a list of Feature objects (when serialized the feature list becomes a JSON array).

Note that the feature list could potentially be empty. Features within the list must follow the specifications defined inside the Feature class.

An example of a Feature Collections given below:

 {
   "TYPE": "FeatureCollection",
   "bbox": [100.0, 0.0, -100.0, 105.0, 1.0, 0.0],
   "features": [
     //...
   ]
 }
 

Since:

1.0.0

Method Detail

fromJson

public static FeatureCollection fromJson(@NonNull
                                         java.lang.String json)

Create a new instance of this class by passing in a formatted valid JSON String. If you are creating a FeatureCollection object from scratch it is better to use one of the other provided static factory methods such as fromFeatures(List).

Parameters:

json - a formatted valid JSON string defining a GeoJson Feature Collection

Returns:

a new instance of this class defined by the values passed inside this static factory method

Since:

1.0.0

fromFeatures

public static FeatureCollection fromFeatures(@NonNull
                                             Feature[] features)

Create a new instance of this class by giving the feature collection an array of Features. The array of features itself isn't null but it can be empty and have a length of 0.

Parameters:

features - an array of features

Returns:

a new instance of this class defined by the values passed inside this static factory method

Since:

1.0.0

fromFeatures

public static FeatureCollection fromFeatures(@NonNull
                                             java.util.List<Feature> features)

Create a new instance of this class by giving the feature collection a list of Features. The list of features itself isn't null but it can empty and have a size of 0.

Parameters:

features - a list of features

Returns:

a new instance of this class defined by the values passed inside this static factory method

Since:

1.0.0

fromFeature

public static FeatureCollection fromFeature(@NonNull
                                            Feature feature)

Create a new instance of this class by giving the feature collection a single Feature.

Parameters:

feature - a single feature

Returns:

a new instance of this class defined by the values passed inside this static factory method

Since:

3.0.0

fromFeatures

public static FeatureCollection fromFeatures(@NonNull
                                             Feature[] features,
                                             @Nullable
                                             BoundingBox bbox)

Create a new instance of this class by giving the feature collection an array of Features. The array of features itself isn't null but it can be empty and have a length of 0.

Parameters:

features - an array of features

bbox - optionally include a bbox definition as a double array

Returns:

a new instance of this class defined by the values passed inside this static factory method

Since:

type

@NonNull
public abstract java.lang.String type()

This describes the type of GeoJson this object is, thus this will always return FeatureCollection.

Specified by:

type in interface GeoJson

Returns:

a String which describes the TYPE of GeoJson, for this object it will always return FeatureCollection

Since:

1.0.0

bbox

@Nullable
public abstract BoundingBox bbox()

A Feature Collection might have a member named bbox to include information on the coordinate range for it's Features. The value of the bbox member MUST be a list of size 2*n where n is the number of dimensions represented in the contained feature geometries, with all axes of the most southwesterly point followed by all axes of the more northeasterly point. The axes order of a bbox follows the axes order of geometries.

Specified by:

bbox in interface GeoJson

Returns:

a list of double coordinate values describing a bounding box

Since:

3.0.0

features

@Nullable
public abstract java.util.List<Feature> features()

This provides the list of feature making up this Feature Collection. Note that if the FeatureCollection was created through fromJson(String) this list could be null. Otherwise, the list can't be null but the size of the list can equal 0.

Returns:

a list of Features which make up this Feature Collection

Since:

1.0.0

toJson

public java.lang.String toJson()

This takes the currently defined values found inside this instance and converts it to a GeoJson string.

Specified by:

toJson in interface GeoJson

Returns:

a JSON string which represents this Feature Collection

Since:

1.0.0

typeAdapter

public static com.google.gson.TypeAdapter<FeatureCollection> typeAdapter(com.google.gson.Gson gson)

Parameters:

gson - the built Gson object

Returns:
