Method Detail

getItemIdsUsingGetIdByIndex

public static List<?> getItemIdsUsingGetIdByIndex(int startIndex,
                                                  int numberOfIds,
                                                  Container.Indexed container)

Get a range of item ids from the container using Container.Indexed.getIdByIndex(int). This is just a helper method to aid developers to quickly add the required functionality to a Container during development. This should not be used in a "finished product" unless fetching an id for an index is very inexpensive because a separate request will be performed for each index in the range.

Parameters:

startIndex - index of the first item id to get

numberOfIds - the number of consecutive items whose ids should be returned

container - the container from which the items should be fetched

Returns:

A list of item ids in the range specified
