Class CallbackRegistry<C,​T,​A>

  • Type Parameters:
    C - The callback type.
    T - The notification sender type. Typically this is the containing class.
    A - Opaque argument used to pass additional data beyond an int.
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable

    public class CallbackRegistry<C,​T,​A>
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.Cloneable
    A utility for storing and notifying callbacks. This class supports reentrant modification of the callbacks during notification without adversely disrupting notifications. A common pattern for callbacks is to receive a notification and then remove themselves. This class handles this behavior with constant memory under most circumstances.

    A subclass of CallbackRegistry.NotifierCallback must be passed to the constructor to define how notifications should be called. That implementation does the actual notification on the listener. It is typically a static instance that can be reused for all similar CallbackRegistries.

    This class supports only callbacks with at most three parameters. Typically, these are the notification originator and a parameter, with another to indicate which method to call, but these may be used as required. If more than three parameters are required or primitive types other than the single int provided must be used, A should be some kind of containing structure that the subclass may reuse between notifications.

      • add

        public void add​(C callback)
        Add a callback to be notified. If the callback is already in the list, another won't be added. This does not affect current notifications.
        Parameters:
        callback - The callback to add.
      • remove

        public void remove​(C callback)
        Remove a callback. This callback won't be notified after this call completes.
        Parameters:
        callback - The callback to remove.
      • copyCallbacks

        public java.util.ArrayList<C> copyCallbacks()
        Makes a copy of the registered callbacks and returns it.
        Returns:
        a copy of the registered callbacks.
      • copyCallbacks

        public void copyCallbacks​(java.util.List<C> callbacks)
        Modifies callbacks to contain all callbacks in the CallbackRegistry.
        Parameters:
        callbacks - modified to contain all callbacks registered to receive events.
      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty()
        Returns true if there are no registered callbacks or false otherwise.
        Returns:
        true if there are no registered callbacks or false otherwise.
      • clear

        public void clear()
        Removes all callbacks from the list.
      • clone

        public CallbackRegistry<C,​T,​A> clone()
        Overrides:
        clone in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        A copy of the CallbackRegistry with all callbacks listening to both instances.
