Could someone help me to create user defined listener interface with some code snippets?
This question is related to
android
I have done it something like below for sending my model class from the Second Activity to First Activity. I used LiveData to achieve this, with the help of answers from Rupesh and TheCodeFather.
Second Activity
public static MutableLiveData<AudioListModel> getLiveSong() {
MutableLiveData<AudioListModel> result = new MutableLiveData<>();
result.setValue(liveSong);
return result;
}
"liveSong" is AudioListModel declared globally
Call this method in the First Activity
PlayerActivity.getLiveSong().observe(this, new Observer<AudioListModel>() {
@Override
public void onChanged(AudioListModel audioListModel) {
if (PlayerActivity.mediaPlayer != null && PlayerActivity.mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
Log.d("LiveSong--->Changes-->", audioListModel.getSongName());
}
}
});
May this help for new explorers like me.
Create listener interface.
public interface YourCustomListener
{
public void onCustomClick(View view);
// pass view as argument or whatever you want.
}
And create method setOnCustomClick in another activity(or fragment) , where you want to apply your custom listener......
public void setCustomClickListener(YourCustomListener yourCustomListener)
{
this.yourCustomListener= yourCustomListener;
}
Call this method from your First activity, and pass the listener interface...
In Android,you can create an interface such as Listener,and your Activity implements it,but i don't think it is a good idea. if we have many components to listen the changes of their state,we can create a BaseListener implements interface Listener,and use type code to handle them. we can bind the method when we create XML file,for example:
<Button
android:id="@+id/button4"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button4"
android:onClick="Btn4OnClick" />
and the source code:
public void Btn4OnClick(View view) {
String strTmp = "??Button04";
tv.setText(strTmp);
}
but i don't think it is a good idea...
Simple method to do this approach. Firstly implements the OnClickListeners in your Activity class.
Code:
class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListeners{
protected void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
super.onCreate(bundle);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main.xml);
Button b1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.sipsi);
Button b2=(Button)findViewById(R.id.pipsi);
b1.SetOnClickListener(this);
b2.SetOnClickListener(this);
}
public void OnClick(View V)
{
int i=v.getId();
switch(i)
{
case R.id.sipsi:
{
//you can do anything from this button
break;
}
case R.id.pipsi:
{
//you can do anything from this button
break;
}
}
}
There are 4 steps:
1.create interface class (listener)
2.use interface in view 1 (define variable)
3.implements interface to view 2 (view 1 used in view 2)
4.pass interface in view 1 to view 2
Example:
Step 1: you need create interface and definde function
public interface onAddTextViewCustomListener {
void onAddText(String text);
}
Step 2: use this interface in view
public class CTextView extends TextView {
onAddTextViewCustomListener onAddTextViewCustomListener; //listener custom
public CTextView(Context context, onAddTextViewCustomListener onAddTextViewCustomListener) {
super(context);
this.onAddTextViewCustomListener = onAddTextViewCustomListener;
init(context, null);
}
public CTextView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context, attrs);
}
public CTextView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init(context, attrs);
}
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public CTextView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
init(context, attrs);
}
public void init(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
if (isInEditMode())
return;
//call listener
onAddTextViewCustomListener.onAddText("this TextView added");
}
}
Step 3,4: implements to activity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements onAddTextViewCustomListener {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//get main view from layout
RelativeLayout mainView = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainView);
//create new CTextView and set listener
CTextView cTextView = new CTextView(getApplicationContext(), this);
//add cTextView to mainView
mainView.addView(cTextView);
}
@Override
public void onAddText(String text) {
Log.i("Message ", text);
}
}
In the year of 2018, there's no need for listeners interfaces. You've got Android LiveData to take care of passing the desired result back to the UI components.
If I'll take Rupesh's answer and adjust it to use LiveData, it will like so:
public class Event {
public LiveData<EventResult> doEvent() {
/*
* code code code
*/
// and in the end
LiveData<EventResult> result = new MutableLiveData<>();
result.setValue(eventResult);
return result;
}
}
and now in your driver class MyTestDriver:
public class MyTestDriver {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Event e = new Event();
e.doEvent().observe(this, new Observer<EventResult>() {
@Override
public void onChanged(final EventResult er) {
// do your work.
}
});
}
}
For more information along with code samples you can read my post about it, as well as the offical docs:
I have created a Generic AsyncTask Listener which get result from AsycTask seperate class and give it to CallingActivity using Interface Callback.
new GenericAsyncTask(context,new AsyncTaskCompleteListener()
{
public void onTaskComplete(String response)
{
// do your work.
}
}).execute();
Interface
interface AsyncTaskCompleteListener<T> {
public void onTaskComplete(T result);
}
GenericAsyncTask
class GenericAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>
{
private AsyncTaskCompleteListener<String> callback;
public A(Context context, AsyncTaskCompleteListener<String> cb) {
this.context = context;
this.callback = cb;
}
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
finalResult = result;
callback.onTaskComplete(result);
}
}
Have a look at this , this question for more details.
please do read observer pattern
listener interface
public interface OnEventListener {
void onEvent(EventResult er);
// or void onEvent(); as per your need
}
then in your class say Event class
public class Event {
private OnEventListener mOnEventListener;
public void setOnEventListener(OnEventListener listener) {
mOnEventListener = listener;
}
public void doEvent() {
/*
* code code code
*/
// and in the end
if (mOnEventListener != null)
mOnEventListener.onEvent(eventResult); // event result object :)
}
}
in your driver class MyTestDriver
public class MyTestDriver {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Event e = new Event();
e.setOnEventListener(new OnEventListener() {
public void onEvent(EventResult er) {
// do your work.
}
});
e.doEvent();
}
}
Create a new file:
MyListener.java:
public interface MyListener {
// you can define any parameter as per your requirement
public void callback(View view, String result);
}
In your activity, implement the interface:
MyActivity.java:
public class MyActivity extends Activity implements MyListener {
@override
public void onCreate(){
MyButton m = new MyButton(this);
}
// method is invoked when MyButton is clicked
@override
public void callback(View view, String result) {
// do your stuff here
}
}
In your custom class, invoke the interface when needed:
MyButton.java:
public class MyButton {
MyListener ml;
// constructor
MyButton(MyListener ml) {
//Setting the listener
this.ml = ml;
}
public void MyLogicToIntimateOthers() {
//Invoke the interface
ml.callback(this, "success");
}
}
