Class AbstractUIValue<V,U extends UIValue<V>>

java.lang.Object
  bibliothek.gui.dock.util.AbstractUIValue<V,U>

Type Parameters:

V - the kind of values this UIValue handles

U - the kind of UIValue that the UIProperties will handle. This class is either abstract, or a subclass of U.

All Implemented Interfaces:

UIValue<V>

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractDockColor, AbstractDockFont

public abstract class AbstractUIValue<V,U extends UIValue<V>>
extends Object
implements UIValue<V>

An abstract implementation of UIValue. This class contains more than just one resource:

• override: is a value that can be set from outside and overrides all other values
• value: is the value obtained through the UIProperties
• backup: is a value used when all other values are unavailable

This class also has methods to add or remove itself from a UIProperties.

Constructor Detail

AbstractUIValue

public AbstractUIValue(String id)

Creates a new UIValue.

Parameters:

id - the id of the resource for which this should listen for

AbstractUIValue

public AbstractUIValue(String id,
                       Path kind)

Creates a new UIValue.

Parameters:

id - the id of the resource for which this should listen for

kind - the kind of UIValue this is

AbstractUIValue

public AbstractUIValue(String id,
                       V backup)

Creates a new UIValue.

Parameters:

id - the id of the resource for which this should listen for

backup - a backup resource, can be null

AbstractUIValue

public AbstractUIValue(String id,
                       Path kind,
                       V backup)

Creates a new UIValue.

Parameters:

id - the id of the resource for which this should listen for

kind - the kind of UIValue this is, can be null

backup - a backup resource, can be null

Method Detail

me

protected abstract U me()

Returns this. This method can only be implemented when the generic boundaries are met, so this methods ensures that this is really an U, or abstract.

Returns:

this

setId

public void setId(String id)

Changes the identifier of this value.

Parameters:

id - the new id, must not be null

getId

public String getId()

Gets the identifier of this value.

Returns:

the identifier, never null

setKind

public void setKind(Path kind)

Changes the kind of this value. The kind is used by the UIProperties to find out, which UIBridge should be used to interact with this UIValue.

Parameters:

kind - the new kind, not null. The kind should be a class or interfaces that is implemented by this UIValue.

getKind

public Path getKind()

Gets the kind of this value. See setKind(Path).

Returns:

the kind, never null

setManager

public void setManager(UIProperties<V,U,?> manager)

Sets the manager which owns this UIValue, this will automatically be added or removed from the current manager.

Parameters:

manager - the new manager, can be null

set

public void set(V value)

Description copied from interface: UIValue

Called when the underlying resource of this UIValue changes.

Specified by:

set in interface UIValue<V>

Parameters:

value - the new value

Returns:

a resource or null

changed

protected abstract void changed(V oldValue,
                                V newValue)
