Event Handling Dr. Harshad Prajapati 14 June 2023 Event Handling e Event handling involves three things: Source (generates event): m Android component (generally Ul) that generates an event when some changes happen, e.g., user clicks. Event handler (handles event): PRN e SM eae ht cence Run Cuaect CMR MEST Tu on ovale sXe) Ure ele) A AMT Le ML Lele Ceo Ceo eee ea Celok e We already know event handling in Java.Event handling in Java ® XListener interface specifies contract(s) for event handling logic. For example, ActionListener specifies actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) as a contract. e Button (java.awt.Button) component is a source that generates event. e Registration of event handling logic (implementation of ActionListener, romeo MMe RTT GReN cues cers) For example, using button.addActionListener(alObj); In place of alObj (action listener object), we can pass an anonymous object of an anonymous class that implements ActionListener.

The word add indicates, we can register more than one listener with event source for the same event. e Android uses method names starting with setXListener. The word set indicates, we can register exactly one listener with event source for the same event. If event handler was already registered, it would be replaced by the new one on calling setXListener.Listeners in Android classes are Static Cees aeolian ie cee MUS) al ma CAC el) Ce associated class. e Any inner interface in Java is static by default. Such interfaces are implicitly static even if static keyword is not used. © Static inner interfaces can be accessed directly using the enclosing class name. We do not require an instance of the enclosing class. Miia ROMO -en el (oe) ama CnCleeNCl Clen CU) Tatil SRR m View.OnClickListener.
