Method Detail

hashCode

@Deprecated(forRemoval=true)
public static int hashCode(@Nullable
                           Object o)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Performs a safe (null-aware) Object.hashCode().

Parameters:

o - object for which to get the hash code, may be null

Returns:

the hash code for the object of 0 if the given object is null

firstNonNull

@SafeVarargs
@Nullable
public static <T> T firstNonNull(@Nullable
                                 T... objects)

Return the first from a list of arguments that is non-null, or null if all arguments are null.

This is similar to Guava's MoreObjects.firstNonNull(Object, Object), except it takes more than 2 arguments, and also doesn't throw a null pointer exception if all arguments are null.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of arguments being evaluated

Parameters:

objects - the list of object references to evaluate

Returns:

the first non-null argument, or null if all arguments are null
