Overview

An observable class that holds a primitive char.

Observable field classes may be used instead of creating an Observable object. It can also create a calculated field, depending on other fields:

public class MyDataObject {
     public final ObservableChar firstInitial = new ObservableChar();
     public final ObservableChar firstInitialCapitalized = new ObservableChar(firstInitial)
         @Override
         public char get() { return Character.toUpperCase(firstInitial.get()); }
     };
 }
Fields of this type should be declared final because bindings only detect changes in the field's value, not of the field itself.

This class is parcelable and serializable but callbacks are ignored when the object is parcelled / serialized. Unless you add custom callbacks, this will not be an issue because data binding framework always re-registers callbacks when the view is bound. A parceled ObservableChar will lose its dependencies.

Summary

Fields
public static final <any>CREATOR

Constructors
publicObservableChar()

Creates an ObservableChar with the initial value of 0.

publicObservableChar(char value)

Creates an ObservableChar with the given initial value.

publicObservableChar(Observable dependencies[])

Creates an ObservableChar that depends on dependencies.

Methods
public intdescribeContents()

public charget()

public voidset(char value)

Set the stored value.

Fields

public static final <any> CREATOR

Constructors

public ObservableChar(char value)

Creates an ObservableChar with the given initial value.

Parameters:

value: the initial value for the ObservableChar

public ObservableChar()

Creates an ObservableChar with the initial value of 0.

public ObservableChar(Observable dependencies[])

Creates an ObservableChar that depends on dependencies. Typically, ObservableFields are passed as dependencies. When any dependency notifies changes, this ObservableChar also notifies a change.

Parameters:

dependencies: The Observables that this ObservableChar depends on.

Methods

public char get()

Returns:

the stored value.

public void set(char value)

Set the stored value.

Parameters:

value: The new value

public int describeContents()

public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)
