PropertyChangeSupport

open class PropertyChangeSupport : Serializable

kotlin.Any
↳	java.beans.PropertyChangeSupport

This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support bound properties. It manages a list of listeners and dispatches PropertyChangeEvents to them. You can use an instance of this class as a member field of your bean and delegate these types of work to it. The PropertyChangeListener can be registered for all properties or for a property specified by name.

Here is an example of PropertyChangeSupport usage that follows the rules and recommendations laid out in the JavaBeans™ specification:

public class MyBean {
      private final PropertyChangeSupport pcs = new PropertyChangeSupport(this);
 
      public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          this.pcs.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);
      }
 
      public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          this.pcs.removePropertyChangeListener(listener);
      }
 
      private String value;
 
      public String getValue() {
          return this.value;
      }
 
      public void setValue(String newValue) {
          String oldValue = this.value;
          this.value = newValue;
          this.pcs.firePropertyChange("value", oldValue, newValue);
      }
 
      [...]
  }

A PropertyChangeSupport instance is thread-safe.

This class is serializable. When it is serialized it will save (and restore) any listeners that are themselves serializable. Any non-serializable listeners will be skipped during serialization.

Public constructors

PropertyChangeSupport

Added in API level 3

PropertyChangeSupport(sourceBean: Any!)

Constructs a PropertyChangeSupport object.

Parameters
`sourceBean`	Any!: The bean to be given as the source for any events.

Public methods

addPropertyChangeListener

Added in API level 3

open fun addPropertyChangeListener(listener: PropertyChangeListener!): Unit

Add a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list. The listener is registered for all properties. The same listener object may be added more than once, and will be called as many times as it is added. If listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is taken.

Parameters
`listener`	PropertyChangeListener!: The PropertyChangeListener to be added

addPropertyChangeListener

Added in API level 3

open fun addPropertyChangeListener(
    propertyName: String!, 
    listener: PropertyChangeListener!
): Unit

Add a PropertyChangeListener for a specific property. The listener will be invoked only when a call on firePropertyChange names that specific property. The same listener object may be added more than once. For each property, the listener will be invoked the number of times it was added for that property. If propertyName or listener is null, no exception is thrown and no action is taken.

Parameters
`propertyName`	String!: The name of the property to listen on.
`listener`	PropertyChangeListener!: The PropertyChangeListener to be added

getPropertyChangeListeners

Added in API level 3

open fun getPropertyChangeListeners(): Array<PropertyChangeListener!>!

Returns an array of all the listeners that were added to the PropertyChangeSupport object with addPropertyChangeListener().

If some listeners have been added with a named property, then the returned array will be a mixture of PropertyChangeListeners and PropertyChangeListenerProxys. If the calling method is interested in distinguishing the listeners then it must test each element to see if it's a PropertyChangeListenerProxy, perform the cast, and examine the parameter.

<code>PropertyChangeListener[] listeners = bean.getPropertyChangeListeners();
  for (int i = 0; i &lt; listeners.length; i++) {
    if (listeners[i] instanceof PropertyChangeListenerProxy) {
      PropertyChangeListenerProxy proxy =
                     (PropertyChangeListenerProxy)listeners[i];
      if (proxy.getPropertyName().equals("foo")) {
        // proxy is a PropertyChangeListener which was associated
        // with the property named "foo"
      }
    }
  }
  </code>

Return
`Array<PropertyChangeListener!>!`	all of the `PropertyChangeListeners` added or an empty array if no listeners have been added
