getAndSet returns the "previous" value then set the updated value, I want the "reverse" behavior, to return the updated value and then set it in the AtomicBoolean object.
just like when you do
if(bolVal = otherBolVal)
the assignment here precedes the evaluation.
can it be done with AtomicBoolean alone or do I need a custom class which is not good for me.
I had this
sharedPref.edit().putBoolean("tag", isOvertime = false).apply();
which was done in one line, now I was forced to pass the boolean as a mutable object so I didn't want to create a custom class and went for AtomicBoolean. now I'm looking for a way to do the same one line assignment with least efforts without creating a new class or an extra line expression.
Something like this?
private final AtomicBoolean atomicBoolean = new AtomicBoolean();
public boolean setAndGet(boolean bool) {
atomicBoolean.getAndSet(bool);
return bool;
}
Nope you will need a custom class that extends AtomicBoolean or a Utils class. There is no reason to have a method for this in AtomicBoolean. Even in your case it's just one more line of code...
