java 回调方法是什么意思,Java中的回调方法是什么？ （该术语似乎被宽松地使用）...

I don't understand what a callback method is and I have heard people use that term very loosely. In the Java world, what is a callback method? If someone could provide some example code of a Java callback method with an explanation, it would be a great help in my Java learning journey.

Thank you in advance.

A callback is a piece of code that you pass as an argument to some other code so that it executes it. Since Java doesn't yet support function pointers, they are implemented as Command objects. Something like

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

new Test().doWork(new Callback() { // implementing class

@Override

public void call() {

System.out.println("callback called");

}

});

}

public void doWork(Callback callback) {

System.out.println("doing work");

callback.call();

}

public interface Callback {

void call();

}

}

A callback will usually hold reference to some state to actually be useful.

By making the callback implementation have all the dependencies to your code, you gain indirection between your code and the code that is executing the callback.
