Method Detail |
public void dispose()
IContentProvider
The viewer should not be updated during this call, as it is in the process of being disposed.
dispose
in interface IContentProvider
public Object[] getChildren(Object parentElement)
ITreeContentProvider
The difference between this method and IStructuredContentProvider.getElements
is that getElements
is called to obtain the
tree viewer's root elements, whereas getChildren
is used
to obtain the children of a given parent element in the tree (including a root).
getChildren
in interface ITreeContentProvider
parentElement
- the parent element
public Object[] getElements(Object inputElement)
IStructuredContentProvider
getElements
in interface IStructuredContentProvider
inputElement
- the input element
public Object getParent(Object element)
ITreeContentProvider
null
indicating that the parent can't be computed.
In this case the tree-structured viewer can't expand
a given node correctly if requested.
getParent
in interface ITreeContentProvider
element
- the element
null
if it
has none or if the parent cannot be computedpublic boolean hasChildren(Object element)
ITreeContentProvider
Intended as an optimization for when the viewer does not
need the actual children. Clients may be able to implement
this more efficiently than getChildren
.
hasChildren
in interface ITreeContentProvider
element
- the element
true
if the given element has children,
and false
if it has no childrenpublic void inputChanged(Viewer viewer, Object oldInput, Object newInput)
IContentProvider
A typical use for this method is registering the content provider as a listener to changes on the new input (using model-specific means), and deregistering the viewer from the old input. In response to these change notifications, the content provider should update the viewer (see the add, remove, update and refresh methods on the viewers).
The viewer should not be updated during this call, as it might be in the process of being disposed.
inputChanged
in interface IContentProvider
viewer
- the vieweroldInput
- the old input element, or null
if the viewer
did not previously have an inputnewInput
- the new input element, or null
if the viewer
does not have an inputprotected void setManager(PreferenceManager manager)
manager
- The manager to set.
