Method Detail

addDataProviderListener

public Registration addDataProviderListener(DataProviderListener<T> listener)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Adds a data provider listener. The listener is called when some piece of data is updated.

The DataProvider.refreshAll() method fires DataChangeEvent each time when it's called. It allows to update UI components when user changes something in the underlying data.

Specified by:

addDataProviderListener in interface DataProvider<T,F>

Parameters:

listener - the data change listener, not null

Returns:

a registration for the listener

refreshAll

public void refreshAll()

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Refreshes all data based on currently available data in the underlying provider.

Specified by:

refreshAll in interface DataProvider<T,F>

refreshItem

public void refreshItem(T item)

Description copied from interface: DataProvider

Refreshes the given item. This method should be used to inform all DataProviderListeners that an item has been updated or replaced with a new instance.

For this to work properly, the item must either implement #equals(Object) and #hashCode() to consider both the old and the new item instances to be equal, or alternatively DataProvider.getId(Object) should be implemented to return an appropriate identifier.

Specified by:

refreshItem in interface DataProvider<T,F>

Parameters:

item - the item to refresh

See Also:

DataProvider.getId(Object)

addListener

protected Registration addListener(Class<?> eventType,
                                   DataProviderListener<T> listener,
                                   Method method)

Registers a new listener with the specified activation method to listen events generated by this component. If the activation method does not have any arguments the event object will not be passed to it when it's called.

Parameters:

eventType - the type of the listened event. Events of this type or its subclasses activate the listener.

listener - the object instance who owns the activation method.

method - the activation method.

Returns:

a registration for the listener

fireEvent
