Class AbstractEntry<G>

java.lang.Object
org.proto4j.swing.AbstractEntry<G>
Type Parameters:
G - the GUI's type
All Implemented Interfaces:
Entry<G>
public abstract class AbstractEntry<G>
extends java.lang.Object
implements Entry<G>
This class provides basic operations for the Entry.

It comes with two important methods: linkAction(Object) and start(Object...). Their implementation is standardized, so there is no need for external implementation.

    • AbstractEntry

      protected AbstractEntry​(java.lang.Class<G> type)
      Create a new AbstractEntry object.

      Type Parameters:
      E - the event listener type
      Parameters:
      cls - the EventListener class
      ls - the listener object - currently either directly the EventListener or a Method that should be casted to the EventListener.

      Specified by:
      getType in interface Entry<G>
      Returns:
      The GUI's type

    • start

      public void start​(java.lang.Object... args) throws java.lang.NullPointerException
      Searches for the EntryPoint annotation and executes the method with it.
      Specified by:
      start in interface Entry<G>
      Parameters:
      args - the method's arguments
      Throws:
