java observer update,Java Observer Update功能

I have a class that implements observer, and of course it needs to have the update function:

public void update(Observable obs, Object obj);

Can someone please explain what do the two parameters stand for?

Observable is my observable of course, but, how can I access my observable fields through this Observable obs object?

And what is Object obj?

解决方案

In case anybody else is experiencing difficulty in figuring out how to send that second parameter, it is as Nick points out: In the notifyObservers method call.

In the Observable:

private void setLicenseValid(boolean licenseValid) {

this.licenseValid = licenseValid;

setChanged(); // update will only get called if this method is called

notifyObservers(licenseValid); // add parameter for 2nd param, else leave blank

}

In the Observer:

@Override

public void update(Observable obs, Object arg) {

if (obs instanceof QlmLicense) {

setValid((Boolean) arg);

}

}

Be sure to wire up your Observable correctly, else your update method will not get called.

public class License implements Observer {

private static QlmLicense innerlicense;

private boolean valid;

private Observable observable;

private static QlmLicense getInnerlicense() {

if (innerlicense == null) {

innerlicense = new QlmLicense();

// This is where we call the method to wire up the Observable.

setObservable(innerlicense);

}

return innerlicense;

}

public boolean isValid() {

return valid;

}

private void setValid(Boolean valid) {

this.valid = valid;

}

// This is where we wire up the Observable.

private void setObservable(Observable observable) {

this.observable = observable;

this.observable.addObserver(this);

}

@Override

public void update(Observable obs, Object arg) {

if (obs instanceof InnerIDQlmLicense) {

setValid((Boolean) arg);

}

}

}
