public Class UiThreadStringProperty

extends StringProperty
Class Inheritance
Imports
javafx.beans.InvalidationListener, javafx.beans.property.StringProperty, javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener, .ObservableValue

This class can be used to wrap a @see StringProperty inside it. When wrapped, any Listener listening for updates to the wrapped StringProperty (for example because of a binding to it) is ensured to be notified on the JavaFX Application Thread. It should be used to implement bindings where updates come in from a background thread but should be reflected in the UI where it is necessary that changes to the UI are performed on the JavaFX Application thread.

addListener(InvalidationListener listener)

Implements javafx.beans.Observable.addListener.

Adds an InvalidationListener which will be notified whenever the Observable becomes invalid.

public void
bind(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable)

Implements javafx.beans.property.Property.bind.

Create a unidirection binding for this Property.

public String
public Object
getBean()

Implements javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyProperty.getBean.

Returns the Object that contains this property.

public String
getName()

Implements javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyProperty.getName.

Returns the name of this property.

public boolean
isBound()

Implements javafx.beans.property.Property.isBound.

Can be used to check, if a Property is bound.

public void
removeListener(ChangeListener<? super String> listener)

Implements javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue.removeListener.

Removes the given listener from the list of listeners that are notified whenever the value of the ObservableValue changes.

public void
removeListener(InvalidationListener listener)

Implements javafx.beans.Observable.removeListener.

Removes the given listener from the list of listeners, that are notified whenever the value of the Observable becomes invalid.

public void addListener(ChangeListener<? super String> listener)

Implements javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue.addListener.

Doc from javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue.addListener.

Adds a ChangeListener which will be notified whenever the value of the ObservableValue changes. 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 ChangeListener instance may be safely registered for different ObservableValues.

The ObservableValue 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 WeakChangeListener avoid this situation.

Adds an InvalidationListener 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.

It is recommended to either unregister a listener by calling removeListener after use or to use an instance of WeakInvalidationListener avoid this situation.

public void bind(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable)

Implements javafx.beans.property.Property.bind.

Doc from javafx.beans.property.Property.bind.

Create a unidirection binding for this Property.

Note that JavaFX has all the bind calls implemented through weak listeners. This means the bound property can be garbage collected and stopped from being updated.

public String get()

Implements javafx.beans.value.WritableObjectValue.get, javafx.beans.value.ObservableObjectValue.get.

Doc from javafx.beans.value.WritableObjectValue.get.

Get the wrapped value. This must be identical to the value returned from getValue().

This method exists only to align WritableObjectValue API with WritableBooleanValue and subclasses of WritableNumberValue

public Object getBean()

Implements javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyProperty.getBean.

Doc from javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyProperty.getBean.

Returns the Object that contains this property. If this property is not contained in an Object, null is returned.

public String getName()

Implements javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyProperty.getName.

Doc from javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyProperty.getName.

Returns the name of this property. If the property does not have a name, this method returns an empty String.

public void removeListener(ChangeListener<? super String> listener)

Implements javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue.removeListener.

Doc from javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue.removeListener.

Removes the given listener from the list of listeners that are notified whenever the value of the ObservableValue changes.

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.
