Remarks

The Properties class represents a persistent set of properties. The Properties can be saved to a stream or loaded from a stream. Each key and its corresponding value in the property list is a string.

A property list can contain another property list as its "defaults"; this second property list is searched if the property key is not found in the original property list.

Because Properties inherits from Hashtable, the put and putAll methods can be applied to a Properties object. Their use is strongly discouraged as they allow the caller to insert entries whose keys or values are not Strings. The setProperty method should be used instead. If the store or save method is called on a "compromised" Properties object that contains a non-String key or value, the call will fail. Similarly, the call to the propertyNames or list method will fail if it is called on a "compromised" Properties object that contains a non-String key.

The #load(java.io.Reader) load(Reader)/#store(java.io.Writer, java.lang.String) store(Writer, String) methods load and store properties from and to a character based stream in a simple line-oriented format specified below.

The #load(java.io.InputStream) load(InputStream)/#store(java.io.OutputStream, java.lang.String) store(OutputStream, String) methods work the same way as the load(Reader)/store(Writer, String) pair, except the input/output stream is encoded in ISO 8859-1 character encoding. Characters that cannot be directly represented in this encoding can be written using Unicode escapes as defined in section 3.3 of <cite>The Java™ Language Specification</cite>; only a single 'u' character is allowed in an escape sequence. The native2ascii tool can be used to convert property files to and from other character encodings.

The #loadFromXML(InputStream) and #storeToXML(OutputStream, String, String) methods load and store properties in a simple XML format. By default the UTF-8 character encoding is used, however a specific encoding may be specified if required. Implementations are required to support UTF-8 and UTF-16 and may support other encodings. An XML properties document has the following DOCTYPE declaration:

&lt;!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd"&gt;

Note that the system URI (http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd) is not accessed when exporting or importing properties; it merely serves as a string to uniquely identify the DTD, which is:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

               &lt;!-- DTD for properties --&gt;

               &lt;!ELEMENT properties ( comment?, entry* ) &gt;

               &lt;!ATTLIST properties version CDATA #FIXED "1.0"&gt;

               &lt;!ELEMENT comment (#PCDATA) &gt;

               &lt;!ELEMENT entry (#PCDATA) &gt;

               &lt;!ATTLIST entry key CDATA #REQUIRED&gt;

This class is thread-safe: multiple threads can share a single Properties object without the need for external synchronization.

Constructors

Properties()	Creates an empty property list with no default values.
Properties(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)	A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.
Properties(Properties)	Creates an empty property list with the specified defaults.

Properties

Class	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`. (Inherited from Object)

Handle	The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object)
JniIdentityHashCode	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
PeerReference	(Inherited from Object)
ThresholdClass	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

List(PrintStream)	Prints this property list out to the specified output stream.
List(PrintWriter)	Prints this property list out to the specified output stream.

PropertyNames()	Returns an enumeration of all the keys in this property list, including distinct keys in the default property list if a key of the same name has not already been found from the main properties list.
Save(Stream, String)	Obsolete. Calls the `store(OutputStream out, String comments)` method and suppresses IOExceptions that were thrown.
SetHandle(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)	Sets the Handle property. (Inherited from Object)
SetProperty(String, String)	Calls the `Hashtable` method `put`.
Store(Stream, String)	Writes this property list (key and element pairs) in this `Properties` table to the output stream in a format suitable for loading into a `Properties` table using the `#load(InputStream) load(InputStream)` method.
