Constructor Detail

FeatureCursor

public FeatureCursor(Object obj)
              throws IOException

Construct a FeatureCursor using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to FeatureCursor.
Casting to this class from the return value of a method will not work, as this class represents an abstract class in ArcObjects.
*
FeatureCursor o = (FeatureCursor)obj; // will not work

FeatureCursor o = new FeatureCursor(obj); // Use this constructor instead
* @param obj an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems FeatureCursor theFeatureCursor = (FeatureCursor) obj;

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

the hashcode for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

findField

public int findField(String name)
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException

The index of the field with the specified name.

Remarks

If the specified field cannot be found, this method returns a value of -1.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

findField in interface ICursor

Specified by:

findField in interface IFeatureCursor

Parameters:

name - The name (in)

Returns:

The fieldIndex

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getFields

public IFields getFields()
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException

The Fields Collection for this cursor.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

getFields in interface ICursor

Specified by:

getFields in interface IFeatureCursor

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IFields

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

nextRow

public IRow nextRow()
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Advance the position of the cursor by one and return the Row object at that position.

Remarks

The NextRow method on a search or update cursor returns the next row in the result set to the application. The row object returned is allocated and hydrated by the cursor, and a reference to it is handed to the application. To retrieve all rows in a result set containing N rows, the application must make N calls to NextRow. If no rows remain in the result set, this method returns a null value.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

nextRow in interface ICursor

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IRow

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

updateRow

public void updateRow(IRow row)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Update the existing Row in the database corresponding to the current position of the cursor.

Remarks

This method should only be called on update cursors.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

updateRow in interface ICursor

Parameters:

row - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IRow (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

deleteRow

public void deleteRow()
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Delete the existing Row in the database corresponding to the current position of the cursor.

Remarks

The cursor must be initialized to a row (with the NextRow method) before this method can be successfully called.

This should only be called on update cursors. To delete a row retrieved from a search cursor, call IRow.Delete on the row itself.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Specified by:

deleteRow in interface ICursor

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

flush in interface ICursor

flush in interface IFeatureCursor

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

nextFeature

public IFeature nextFeature()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Advance the position of the cursor by one and return the Feature object at that position.

Remarks

If you fetch features out of a geodatabase using a cursor (recycling or non recycling), the spatial reference of the feature, as returned by NextFeature, is guaranteed to be in the spatial reference that you specified in the query filter .

No guarantee however is made that the geometry of the feature will continue to remain in this spatial reference. In particular, if you use a non recycling cursor, then the feature you fetch will be shared with other consumers and any one of these may change its spatial reference at any time. It is the developers responsibility to test the spatial reference or the geometry you get from the feature (via IFeature::Shape) if you retrieve the geometry at a later time and rely on its spatial reference being a specified spatial reference.
