Class BaseEngine

Method Details

• getEngineState

  public long getEngineState()

  Returns a or'ed set of flags indicating the current state of this Engine.

  An EngineEvent is issued each time this Engine changes state.

  The getEngineState method can be called successfully in any Engine state.

  Returns:

  the current state of this Engine

  See Also:

  • getEngineState()
  • waitEngineState(long)

• waitEngineState

  public void waitEngineState(long state) throws InterruptedException, IllegalArgumentException

  Blocks the calling thread until this Engine is in a specified state.

  All state bits specified in the state parameter must be set in order for the method to return, as defined for the testEngineState method. If the state parameter defines an unreachable state (e.g. PAUSED | RESUMED) an exception is thrown.

  The waitEngineState method can be called successfully in any Engine state.

  Parameters:

  state - a bitmask of the state to wait for

  Throws:

  InterruptedException - if another thread has interrupted this thread.

  IllegalArgumentException - if the specified state is unreachable

  See Also:

  • testEngineState(long)
  • getEngineState()

• testEngineState

  public boolean testEngineState(long state) throws IllegalArgumentException

  Returns true if this state of this Engine matches the specified state.

  The test performed is not an exact match to the current state. Only the specified states are tested. For example the following returns true only if the Synthesizer queue is empty, irrespective of the pause/resume and allocation states.

      if (synth.testEngineState(Synthesizer.QUEUE_EMPTY)) ...
   

  The testEngineState method is equivalent to:

        if ((engine.getEngineState() invalid input: '&' state) == state)
   

  The testEngineState method can be called successfully in any Engine state.

  Parameters:

  state - a bitmask of the states to test for

  Returns:

  true if this Engine matches state; otherwise false

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the specified state is unreachable

• setEngineState

  protected long[] setEngineState(long clear, long set)

  Updates this Engine state by clearing defined bits, then setting other specified bits.

  Returns:

  a length-2 array with old and new state values.

• allocate

  public void allocate() throws EngineException, EngineStateError

  Allocates the resources required for this Engine and puts it into the ALLOCATED state. When this method returns successfully the ALLOCATED bit of this Engine state is set, and the testEngineState(Engine.ALLOCATED) method returns true.

  During the processing of the method, this Engine is temporarily in the ALLOCATING_RESOURCES state.

  See Also:

  • deallocate()

• handleAllocate

  protected abstract void handleAllocate() throws EngineException

  Called from the allocate method. Override this in subclasses.

  See Also:

  • allocate()

• deallocate

  public void deallocate() throws EngineException, EngineStateError

  Frees the resources of this Engine that were acquired during allocation and during operation and return this Engine to the DEALLOCATED. When this method returns the DEALLOCATED bit of this Engine state is set so the testEngineState(Engine.DEALLOCATED) method returns true.

  During the processing of the method, this Engine is temporarily in the DEALLOCATING_RESOURCES state.

  A deallocated engine can be re-started with a subsequent call to allocate.

  See Also:

  • allocate()

• handleDeallocate

  protected abstract void handleDeallocate() throws EngineException

  Called from the deallocate method. Override this in subclasses.

• pause

  public void pause() throws EngineStateError

  Pauses the audio stream for this Engine and put this Engine into the PAUSED state.

• handlePause

  protected abstract void handlePause()

  Called from the pause method. Override this in subclasses.

• resume

  public void resume() throws AudioException, EngineStateError

  Resumes the audio stream for this Engine and put this Engine into the RESUMED state.

• handleResume

  protected abstract void handleResume()

  Called from the resume method. Override in subclasses.

• getAudioManager

  public AudioManager getAudioManager()

  Returns an object that provides management of the audio input or output of this Engine.

  Returns:

  the audio manader for this Engine

• getVocabManager

  public VocabManager getVocabManager() throws EngineStateError

  Returns an object that provides management of the vocabulary for this Engine. Returns null if this Engine does not support vocabulary management.

  Returns:

  the vocabulary manager of this Engine

  Returns:

  the operating mode of this Engine

  Throws:

  SecurityException
