Class IOConsoleOutputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    MessageConsoleStream
    public class IOConsoleOutputStream
extends OutputStream
    OutputStream used to write to an IOConsole.

    Clients are not intended to instantiate this class directly, instead use IOConsole.newOutputStream().

    Clients should avoid writing large amounts of output to this stream in the UI thread. The console needs to process the output in the UI thread and if the client hogs the UI thread writing output to the console, the console will not be able to process the output.

    Since:
    3.1
    Restriction:
    This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.
    Restriction:
    This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.
