Detailed Description

ActivityCodeBehind is code that is associated with a particular Activity node, and has access to the properties of that Activity node.

You can use this to:

  • React to changes of the status of an Activity.
  • Connect to a remote service when an Activity node is activated and save data and disconnect when an Activity node is deactivated.
  • Install Kanzi command handlers and define their implementations, such as increase the volume when the user presses a button.
  • Implement complex UI interaction, such as drag-and-drop of data between UI elements.

All Activity code behind classes inherit from this class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ActivityCodeBehind ( Domain  domain,
long  handle,
Metaclass  metaclass 
)
protected

Wraps a given native ActivityCodeBehind.

Called by KanziObject#connectObject(long) when connecting to a native ActivityCodeBehind.

Parameters
domainUI Domain where the object belongs.
handleNative object that is backing the object.
metaclassMetaclass data for the object.

Member Function Documentation

static <Derived extends NodeComponent> ObjectRef<Derived> createDerived ( Domain  domain,
String  name,
Metaclass  metaclass 
)
staticprotected

Creates a derived class instance.

Call this method as part of the create method for a derived class.

Parameters
domainUI Domain where this object belongs.
nameName of the object
metaclassMetaclass data of the object.
Returns
An ObjectRef that holds the created instance.
void registerStatusChange ( ActivityStatus  status,
StatusChangeHandler  handler 
)
protected

Registers a new activity status change handler.

You must be called in ActivityCodeBehind#registerStatusChangeOverride.

Parameters
statusPossible state of the activity nodes during activate and deactivate process.
handlerThe handler functor for the command.
abstract void registerStatusChangeOverride ( )
abstractprotected

Override this method to register status change handlers.

You must register every state change using ActivityCodeBehind#registerStatusChange. Kanzi registers the status change when it attaches the Activity that uses this code behind.

See also
ActivityStatus, ActivityCodeBehind#unregisterStatusChangeOverride
void unregisterStatusChange ( ActivityStatus  status)
protected

Unregisters an activity status change handler.

You must be called in ActivityCodeBehind#unregisterStatusChangeOverride.

Parameters
statusPossible state of the activity nodes during activate and deactivate process.
abstract void unregisterStatusChangeOverride ( )
abstractprotected

Override this method to unregister the registered status change handlers.

You must unregister every status change handler using ActivityCodeBehind#unregisterStatusChange. Kanzi unregisters the status change when it detaches the Activity that uses this code behind.
