Class Overview

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.

Public Constructors

public CallbackRegistry (NotifierCallback<C, T, A> notifier)

Creates an EventRegistry that notifies the event with notifier.

Parameters
notifier The class to use to notify events.

Public Methods

public synchronized 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.

public synchronized void clear ()

Removes all callbacks from the list.

public synchronized CallbackRegistry<C, T, A> clone ()

Creates and returns a copy of this Object. The default implementation returns a so-called "shallow" copy: It creates a new instance of the same class and then copies the field values (including object references) from this instance to the new instance. A "deep" copy, in contrast, would also recursively clone nested objects. A subclass that needs to implement this kind of cloning should call super.clone() to create the new instance and then create deep copies of the nested, mutable objects.

Returns
  • A copy of the CallbackRegistry with all callbacks listening to both instances.

public synchronized void copyCallbacks (List<C> callbacks)

Modifies callbacks to contain all callbacks in the CallbackRegistry.

Parameters
callbacks modified to contain all callbacks registered to receive events.

public synchronized ArrayList<C> copyCallbacks ()

Makes a copy of the registered callbacks and returns it.

Returns
  • a copy of the registered callbacks.

public synchronized boolean isEmpty ()

Returns true if there are no registered callbacks or false otherwise.

Returns
  • true if there are no registered callbacks or false otherwise.

public synchronized void notifyCallbacks (T sender, int arg, A arg2)

Notify all callbacks.

Parameters
sender The originator. This is an opaque parameter passed to onNotifyCallback(Object, Object, int, Object)
arg An opaque parameter passed to onNotifyCallback(Object, Object, int, Object)
arg2 An opaque parameter passed to onNotifyCallback(Object, Object, int, Object)

public synchronized void remove (C callback)

Remove a callback. This callback won't be notified after this call completes.

Parameters
callback The callback to remove.
