Package javafx.beans.value

The package javafx.beans.value contains the two fundamental interfaces ObservableValue and WritableValue and all of its sub-interfaces.

ObservableValue

An ObservableValue wraps a value that can be read and observed for invalidations and changes. Listeners have to implement either InvalidationListener or ChangeListener. To allow working with primitive types directly a number of sub-interfaces are defined.

ObservableValue Table
Type	Sub-interface of ObservableValue
`boolean`	`ObservableBooleanValue`
`double`	`ObservableDoubleValue`
`float`	`ObservableFloatValue`
`int`	`ObservableIntegerValue`
`long`	`ObservableLongValue`
`double`, `float`, `int`, `long`	`ObservableNumberValue`
`Object`	`ObservableObjectValue`
`String`	`ObservableStringValue`

WritableValue

A WritableValue wraps a value that can be read and set. As with


	ObservableValues

, a number of sub-interfaces are defined to work with primitive types directly.

WritableValue Table
Type	Sub-interface of WritableValue
`boolean`	`WritableBooleanValue`
`double`	`WritableDoubleValue`
`float`	`WritableFloatValue`
`int`	`WritableIntegerValue`
`long`	`WritableLongValue`
`double`, `float`, `int`, `long`	`WritableNumberValue`
`Object`	`WritableObjectValue`
`String`	`WritableStringValue`

Interface Summary
Interface	Description
ChangeListener<T>	A `ChangeListener` is notified whenever the value of an `ObservableValue` changes.
ObservableBooleanValue	An observable boolean value.
ObservableDoubleValue	An observable double value.
ObservableFloatValue	An observable float value.
ObservableIntegerValue	An observable integer value.
ObservableListValue<E>	An observable reference to an `ObservableList`.
ObservableLongValue	An observable long value.
ObservableMapValue<K,V>	An observable reference to an `ObservableMap`.
ObservableNumberValue	A common interface of all sub-interfaces of `ObservableValue` that wrap a number.
ObservableObjectValue<T>	An observable typed `Object` value.
ObservableSetValue<E>	An observable reference to an `ObservableSet`.
ObservableStringValue	An observable String value.
ObservableValue<T>	An `ObservableValue` is an entity that wraps a value and allows to observe the value for changes.
WritableBooleanValue	A writable boolean value.
WritableDoubleValue	A writable double value.
WritableFloatValue	A writable float value.
WritableIntegerValue	A writable int value.
WritableListValue<E>	A writable reference to an `ObservableList`.
WritableLongValue	A writable long value.
WritableMapValue<K,V>	A writable reference to an `ObservableMap`.
WritableNumberValue	A tagging interface that marks all sub-interfaces of `WritableValue` that wrap a number.
WritableObjectValue<T>	A writable typed value.
WritableSetValue<E>	A writable reference to an `ObservableSet`.
WritableStringValue	A writable String.
WritableValue<T>	A `WritableValue` is an entity that wraps a value that can be read and set.

Class Summary
Class	Description
ObservableValueBase<T>	A convenience class for creating implementations of `ObservableValue`.
WeakChangeListener<T>	A `WeakChangeListener` can be used if an `ObservableValue` should only maintain a weak reference to the listener.
