public abstract class javax.swing
AbstractListModel

Java SE 6
  
Implements: ListModel, Serializable
Extended by: BasicDirectoryModel, DefaultComboBoxModel, DefaultListModel, MetalFileChooserUI.DirectoryComboBoxModel, MetalFileChooserUI.FilterComboBoxModel

The abstract definition for the data model that provides a List with its contents.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see java.beans.XMLEncoder.

Fields
protected EventListenerList listenerList

Constructors
public AbstractListModel()

Methods
public void addListDataListener(ListDataListener l)
Adds a listener to the list that's notified each time a change to the data model occurs.
lthe ListDataListener to be added
protected void fireContentsChanged(Object source, int index0, int index1)
AbstractListModel subclasses must call this method after one or more elements of the list change. The changed elements are specified by the closed interval index0, index1 -- the endpoints are included. Note that index0 need not be less than or equal to index1.
sourcethe ListModel that changed, typically "this"
index0one end of the new interval
index1the other end of the new interval

protected void fireIntervalAdded(Object source, int index0, int index1)
AbstractListModel subclasses must call this method after one or more elements are added to the model. The new elements are specified by a closed interval index0, index1 -- the enpoints are included. Note that index0 need not be less than or equal to index1.
sourcethe ListModel that changed, typically "this"
index0one end of the new interval
index1the other end of the new interval

protected void fireIntervalRemoved(Object source, int index0, int index1)
AbstractListModel subclasses must call this method after one or more elements are removed from the model. index0 and index1 are the end points of the interval that's been removed. Note that index0 need not be less than or equal to index1.
sourcethe ListModel that changed, typically "this"
index0one end of the removed interval, including index0
index1the other end of the removed interval, including index1

public void removeListDataListener(ListDataListener l)
Removes a listener from the list that's notified each time a change to the data model occurs.
lthe ListDataListener to be removed

Properties
public ListDataListener[] getListDataListeners()
Returns an array of all the list data listeners registered on this AbstractListModel.
returnall of this model's ListDataListeners, or an empty array if no list data listeners are currently registered
since1.4
See also addListDataListener, removeListDataListener
public EventListener[]<T> getListeners(Class listenerType)
Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as FooListeners upon this model. FooListeners are registered using the addFooListener method.

You can specify the listenerType argument with a class literal, such as FooListener.class. For example, you can query a list model m for its list data listeners with the following code:

ListDataListener[] ldls = (ListDataListener[])(m.getListeners(ListDataListener.class));
If no such listeners exist, this method returns an empty array.
listenerTypethe type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener
returnan array of all objects registered as FooListeners on this model, or an empty array if no such listeners have been added
ThrowsClassCastException: if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener
