package javafx.collections;

Interface that receives notifications of changes to an ObservableMap.
Type parameters:
  • <K> – the key element type
  • <V> – the value element type
Since:JavaFX 2.0
/** * Interface that receives notifications of changes to an ObservableMap. * @param <K> the key element type * @param <V> the value element type * @since JavaFX 2.0 */
@FunctionalInterface public interface MapChangeListener<K, V> {
An elementary change done to an ObservableMap. Change contains information about a put or remove operation. Note that put operation might remove an element if there was already a value associated with the same key. In this case wasAdded() and wasRemoved() will both return true.
Type parameters:
  • <K> – key type
  • <V> – value type
Since:JavaFX 2.0

public static abstract class Change<K, V> { private final ObservableMap<K,V> map;
Constructs a change associated with a map.
Params:
  • map – the source of the change
/** * Constructs a change associated with a map. * @param map the source of the change */
public Change(ObservableMap<K, V> map) { this.map = map; }
An observable map that is associated with the change.
Returns:the source map
/** * An observable map that is associated with the change. * @return the source map */
public ObservableMap<K, V> getMap() { return map; }
If this change is a result of add operation.
Returns:true if a new value (or key-value) entry was added to the map
/** * If this change is a result of add operation. * @return true if a new value (or key-value) entry was added to the map */
public abstract boolean wasAdded();
If this change is a result of removal operation. Note that an element might be removed even as a result of put operation.
Returns:true if an old value (or key-value) entry was removed from the map
/** * If this change is a result of removal operation. * Note that an element might be removed even as a result of put operation. * @return true if an old value (or key-value) entry was removed from the map */
public abstract boolean wasRemoved();
A key associated with the change. If the change is a remove change, the key no longer exist in a map. Otherwise, the key got set to a new value.
Returns:the key that changed
/** * A key associated with the change. * If the change is a remove change, the key no longer exist in a map. * Otherwise, the key got set to a new value. * @return the key that changed */
public abstract K getKey();
Get the new value of the key. Return null if this is a removal.
Returns:the value that is now associated with the key
/** * Get the new value of the key. Return null if this is a removal. * @return the value that is now associated with the key */
public abstract V getValueAdded();
Get the old value of the key. This is null if and only if the value was added to the key that was not previously in the map.
Returns:the value previously associated with the key
/** * Get the old value of the key. This is null if and only if the value was * added to the key that was not previously in the map. * @return the value previously associated with the key */
public abstract V getValueRemoved(); }
Called after a change has been made to an ObservableMap. This method is called on every elementary change (put/remove) once. This means, complex changes like keySet().removeAll(Collection) or clear() may result in more than one call of onChanged method.
Params:
  • change – the change that was made
/** * Called after a change has been made to an ObservableMap. * This method is called on every elementary change (put/remove) once. * This means, complex changes like keySet().removeAll(Collection) or clear() * may result in more than one call of onChanged method. * * @param change the change that was made */
