E - the type of the elements contained in the Listpublic abstract class ObservableListBase<E> extends AbstractList<E> implements ObservableList<E>
ObservableList implementations.
The base class provides two functionalities for the implementing classes.
addListener and removeListener methods.
fireChange(javafx.collections.ListChangeListener.Change) method is provided
for notifying the listeners with a Change object.
ListChangeListener.Change object. There are various methods called
next*, like nextAdd(int, int) for new items in the lists or nextRemove(int, java.lang.Object) for
an item being removed from the list.
These methods must be always enclosed in beginChange() and endChange() block.
See the example below.
public void removeOddIndexes() {
beginChange();
try {
for (int i = 1; i < size(); ++i) {
remove(i);
}
} finally {
endChange();
}
}
public void remove(int i) {
beginChange();
try {
E removed = ... //do some stuff that will actually remove the element at index i
nextRemove(i, removed);
} finally {
endChange();
}
}
The try/finally blocks in the example are needed only if there's a possibility for an exception to occur
inside a beginChange() / endChange() block
Note: If you want to create modifiable ObservableList implementation, consider
using ModifiableObservableListBase as a superclass.
Note: In order to create list with sequential access, you should override AbstractList.listIterator(),
AbstractList.iterator() methods and use them in AbstractList.get(int), AbstractCollection.size() and other methods accordingly.

boolean |
addAll(E... elements)
A convenient method for var-arg adding of elements.
|
void |
addListener(InvalidationListener listener)
Adds an
InvalidationListener which will be notified whenever the
Observable becomes invalid. |
void |
addListener(ListChangeListener<? super E> listener)
Add a listener to this observable list.
|
protected void |
beginChange()
Begins a change block.
|
protected void |
endChange()
Ends the change block.
|
protected void |
fireChange(ListChangeListener.Change<? extends E> change)
Notifies all listeners of a change
|
protected boolean |
hasListeners()
Returns true if there are some listeners registered for this list.
|
protected void |
nextAdd(int from,
int to)
Adds a new add operation to the change.
|
protected void |
nextPermutation(int from,
int to,
int[] perm)
Adds a new permutation operation to the change.
|
protected void |
nextRemove(int idx,
E removed)
Adds a new remove operation to the change with single item removed.
|
protected void |
nextRemove(int idx,
List<? extends E> removed)
Adds a new remove operation to the change with multiple items removed.
|
protected void |
nextReplace(int from,
int to,
List<? extends E> removed)
Adds a new replace operation to the change.
|
protected void |
nextSet(int idx,
E old)
Adds a new set operation to the change.
|
protected void |
nextUpdate(int pos)
Adds a new update operation to the change.
|
void |
remove(int from,
int to)
Basically a shortcut to sublist(from, to).clear()
As this is a common operation, ObservableList has this method for convenient usage.
|
boolean |
removeAll(E... elements)
A convenient method for var-arg usage of removaAll method.
|
void |
removeListener(InvalidationListener listener)
Removes the given listener from the list of listeners, that are notified
whenever the value of the
Observable becomes invalid. |
void |
removeListener(ListChangeListener<? super E> listener)
Tries to removed a listener from this observable list.
|
boolean |
retainAll(E... elements)
A convenient method for var-arg usage of retain method.
|
boolean |
setAll(Collection<? extends E> col)
Clears the ObservableList and add all elements from the collection.
|
boolean |
setAll(E... elements)
Clears the ObservableList and add all the elements passed as var-args.

It's not necessary to provide the smallest permutation possible. It's correct to always call this method
with nextPermutation(0, size(), permutation);

For every beginChange(), there must be a corresponding endChange() call.
beginChange() calls can be nested in a beginChange()/endChange() block.

ObservableList, the
Change is constructed and all listeners are notified.
Ending a nested block doesn't fire a notification.
beginChange()public final void addListener(InvalidationListener listener)
ObservableInvalidationListener which will be notified whenever the
Observable becomes invalid. If the same
listener is added more than once, then it will be notified more than
once. That is, no check is made to ensure uniqueness.
Note that the same actual InvalidationListener instance may be
safely registered for different Observables.
The Observable stores a strong reference to the listener
which will prevent the listener from being garbage collected and may
result in a memory leak. It is recommended to either unregister a
listener by calling removeListener after use or to use an instance of
WeakInvalidationListener avoid this situation.

If the given listener has not been previously registered (i.e. it was never added) then this method call is a no-op. If it had been previously added then it will be removed. If it had been added more than once, then only the first occurrence will be removed.
