Events usage with HandlerManager
Simple Event and EventHandler usage syntax
HanlderManager providing:
public class HandlerManagerProvider {
private static HandlerManager handlerManager;
private HandlerManagerProvider() {
}
public static HandlerManager get() {
return handlerManager != null ? handlerManager : (handlerManager = new HandlerManager(null));
}
}
EventHandler:
import com.google.gwt.event.shared.EventHandler;
public interface CustomEventHandler extends EventHandler {
void doMyAction(CustomEvent event);
}
Event:
import com.google.gwt.event.shared.GwtEvent;
public class CustomEvent extends GwtEvent<CustomEventHandler> {
public static final Type<CustomEventHandler> TYPE = new Type<>();
@Override
public Type<CustomEventHandler> getAssociatedType() {
return TYPE;
}
@Override
protected void dispatch(CustomEventHandler) {
handler.doMyAction(this);
}
}
Handling event (code snippet):
import com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerManager;
import com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration;
[...]
private List<HandlerRegistration> registrations = new ArrayList<>();
private final HandlerManager handlerManager = HandlerManagerProvider.get();
private void bind() {
registrations.add(handlerManager.addHandler(CustomEvent.TYPE, new CustomEventHandler() {
@Override
public void doMyAction(CustomEvent event) {
//Action after event firing
}
}));
}
Firing event (code snippet):
private final HandlerManager handlerManager = HandlerManagerProvider.get();
public void fireEvent() {
handlerManager.fireEvent(new CustomEvent());
}
Cleaning registrations after e.g. some window destroy (event handling for this window is no longer needed):
private void clearRegistrations() {
for (HandlerRegistration registration : registrations)
registration.removeHandler();
registrations.clear();
}
