public interface Controller

Interface for defining a controller. The controller is connected to a View or a Control to provide functions.

This method setActions() must be implemented to set actions for the operating elements of a view.

The factory method (controllable) can construct Controllers for a specific Controllable if the Controller was registered with the method register(Class, Class) and assigned to the Controllable.

Field Detail

REGISTERED_CONTROLLERS

static final HashMap<Class<? extends Controllable>,Class<? extends Controller>> REGISTERED_CONTROLLERS

Map that saves the Controllers registered for a Controllable and associates them

Method Detail

register

static void register(Class<? extends Controllable> controllable,
                     Class<? extends Controller> controller)

Registers a Controller class for the factory method of(Controllable) and assigns it to a Controllable class.

Parameters:

controllable - Controllable class to which the Controller class is assigned

controller - Controller class that is registered

of

static Controller of(Controllable c)

Factory method that creates and returns a new Controller for the given Controllable.

Note that the registered Controller must have a public Constructor that takes the Controllable as the only parameter.

A suitable Controller can only be returned if a suitable value pair is available in the Map REGISTERED_CONTROLLERS. A Controllable can be assigned a Controller with the method register(Class, Class).

Parameters:

c - Controllable, which should be given a function by the new Controller

Returns:

new Controller that is bound to the Controllable or null if no Controller has been registered

ofArg

static Controller ofArg(Controllable c,
                        Object... args)

Factory method that creates and returns a new Controller for the given Controllable.

Note that the registered Controller must have a public constructor that takes the Controllable as the first argument and also receives all other transferred Objects in the same order as given.

A suitable Controller can only be returned if a suitable value pair is available in the Map REGISTERED_CONTROLLERS. A Controllable can be assigned a Controller with the method register(Class, Class).

Parameters:

c - Controllable, which should be given a function by the new Controller

args - Arguments in the order they are required by the constructor

Returns:

new Controller that is bound to the Controllable or null if no Controller has been registered
