javafx.beans.binding

Class SetExpression<E>

java.lang.Object

javafx.beans.binding.SetExpression<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the type of the Set elements

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Iterable<E>, java.util.Collection<E>, java.util.Set<E>, Observable, ObservableObjectValue<ObservableSet<E>>, ObservableSetValue<E>, ObservableValue<ObservableSet<E>>, ObservableSet<E>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ReadOnlySetProperty, SetBinding

public abstract class SetExpression<E>
extends java.lang.Object
implements ObservableSetValue<E>

A SetExpression is a ObservableSetValue plus additional convenience methods to generate bindings in a fluent style.

A concrete sub-class of SetExpression has to implement the method ObservableObjectValue.get(), which provides the actual value of this expression.

If the wrapped list of a SetExpression is null, all methods implementing the Set interface will behave as if they were applied to an immutable empty set.

Property Detail

size

public abstract ReadOnlyIntegerProperty sizeProperty

A boolean property that is true, if the set is empty.

getSize()

empty

public abstract ReadOnlyBooleanProperty emptyProperty

See Also:

isEmpty()

Constructor Detail

SetExpression

public SetExpression()

Method Detail

getValue

public ObservableSet<E> getValue()

Description copied from interface: ObservableValue

Returns the current value of this ObservableValue

Specified by:

getValue in interface ObservableValue<ObservableSet<E>>

Returns:

The current value

setExpression

public static <E> SetExpression<E> setExpression(ObservableSetValue<E> value)

Returns a SetExpression that wraps a ObservableSetValue. If the ObservableSetValue is already a SetExpression, it will be returned. Otherwise a new SetBinding is created that is bound to the ObservableSetValue.

Parameters:

value - The source ObservableSetValue

Returns:

A SetExpression that wraps the ObservableSetValue if necessary

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if value is null

getSize

public int getSize()

The size of the set

sizeProperty

public abstract ReadOnlyIntegerProperty sizeProperty()

A boolean property that is true, if the set is empty.

See Also:

getSize()

emptyProperty

public abstract ReadOnlyBooleanProperty emptyProperty()

See Also:

isEmpty()

isEqualTo

public BooleanBinding isEqualTo(ObservableSet<?> other)

Creates a new BooleanBinding that holds true if this set is equal to another ObservableSet.

Parameters:

other - the other ObservableSet

Returns:

the new BooleanBinding

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if other is null

isNotEqualTo

public BooleanBinding isNotEqualTo(ObservableSet<?> other)

Creates a new BooleanBinding that holds true if this set is not equal to another ObservableSet.

Parameters:

other - the other ObservableSet

Returns:

the new BooleanBinding

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if other is null

isNull

public BooleanBinding isNull()

Creates a new BooleanBinding that holds true if the wrapped set is null.

Returns:

the new BooleanBinding

isNotNull

public BooleanBinding isNotNull()

Creates a new BooleanBinding that holds true if the wrapped set is not null.

Returns:

the new BooleanBinding

asString

public StringBinding asString()

Creates a StringBinding that holds the value of the SetExpression turned into a String. If the value of this SetExpression changes, the value of the StringBinding will be updated automatically.

Returns:

the new StringBinding
