import com.sun.javafx.collections.ArrayListenerHelper;
import javafx.beans.InvalidationListener;

Abstract class that serves as a base class for ObservableArray implementations. The base class provides listener handling functionality by implementing addListener and removeListener methods. fireChange(boolean, int, int) method is provided for notifying the listeners.
Type parameters:
  • <T> – actual array instance type
See Also:
Since:JavaFX 8.0

Notifies all listeners of a change
Params:
  • sizeChanged – indicates size of array changed
  • from – A beginning (inclusive) of an interval related to the change
  • to – An end (exclusive) of an interval related to the change.
