Remarks

This class represents an observable object, or "data" in the model-view paradigm. It can be subclassed to represent an object that the application wants to have observed.

An observable object can have one or more observers. An observer may be any object that implements interface Observer. After an observable instance changes, an application calling the Observable's notifyObservers method causes all of its observers to be notified of the change by a call to their update method.

The order in which notifications will be delivered is unspecified. The default implementation provided in the Observable class will notify Observers in the order in which they registered interest, but subclasses may change this order, use no guaranteed order, deliver notifications on separate threads, or may guarantee that their subclass follows this order, as they choose.

Note that this notification mechanism has nothing to do with threads and is completely separate from the wait and notify mechanism of class Object.

When an observable object is newly created, its set of observers is empty. Two observers are considered the same if and only if the equals method returns true for them.

Added in 1.0.

This member is deprecated. This class and the Observer interface have been deprecated. The event model supported by Observer and Observable is quite limited, the order of notifications delivered by Observable is unspecified, and state changes are not in one-for-one correspondence with notifications. For a richer event model, consider using the java.beans package. For reliable and ordered messaging among threads, consider using one of the concurrent data structures in the java.util.concurrent package. For reactive streams style programming, see the java.util.concurrent.Flow API.

Constructors

Observable()	Construct an Observable with zero Observers.
Observable(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)	A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Properties

Class	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`. (Inherited from Object)
Handle	The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object)
HasChanged	Tests if this object has changed.
JniIdentityHashCode	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
PeerReference	(Inherited from Object)
ThresholdClass	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
ThresholdType	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Methods

AddObserver(IObserver)	Adds an observer to the set of observers for this object, provided that it is not the same as some observer already in the set.
ClearChanged()	Indicates that this object has no longer changed, or that it has already notified all of its observers of its most recent change, so that the `hasChanged` method will now return `false`.
Clone()	Creates and returns a copy of this object. (Inherited from Object)
CountObservers()	Returns the number of observers of this `Observable` object.
DeleteObserver(IObserver)	Deletes an observer from the set of observers of this object.
DeleteObservers()	Clears the observer list so that this object no longer has any observers.
Dispose()	(Inherited from Object)
Dispose(Boolean)	(Inherited from Object)
Equals(Object)	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Returns a hash code value for the object. (Inherited from Object)
JavaFinalize()	Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. (Inherited from Object)
Notify()	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. (Inherited from Object)
NotifyAll()	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. (Inherited from Object)
NotifyObservers()	If this object has changed, as indicated by the `hasChanged` method, then notify all of its observers and then call the `clearChanged` method to indicate that this object has no longer changed.
NotifyObservers(Object)	If this object has changed, as indicated by the `hasChanged` method, then notify all of its observers and then call the `clearChanged` method to indicate that this object has no longer changed.
SetChanged()	Marks this `Observable` object as having been changed; the `hasChanged` method will now return `true`.
SetHandle(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)	Sets the Handle property. (Inherited from Object)
ToArray<T>()	(Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string representation of the object. (Inherited from Object)
UnregisterFromRuntime()	(Inherited from Object)
Wait()	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>. (Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64, Int32)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

IJavaPeerable.Disposed()	(Inherited from Object)

IJavaPeerable.SetJniIdentityHashCode(Int32)	(Inherited from Object)
IJavaPeerable.SetJniManagedPeerState(JniManagedPeerStates)	(Inherited from Object)
IJavaPeerable.SetPeerReference(JniObjectReference)	(Inherited from Object)
