Hi there. Is there some alternative in Kotlin to Guava's EvictingQueue?

https://google.github.io/guava/releases/15.0/api/docs/com/google/common/collect/EvictingQueue.html

[fred.deschenes]

any reason you don't want to use the one in Guava?

@fred.deschenes, I'm removing Guava from Android Project, I've just this one method left.

[fred.deschenes]

I guess you could make your own, Guava's EvictingQueue is just a wrapper around an ArrayDeque

@fred.deschenes, I guess I should override only add() method, something like:

override fun add(element: E): Boolean {

        if (size == buffer) {
            super.removeFirst()
        }

        return super.add(element)
    }

[fred.deschenes]

depends on how you use it, there's also addAll and offer. I've never used EvictingQueue myself so I'm not really sure what you absolutely need to overload

[ubu]

thanks anyway
