Class FloatExpression

java.lang.Object

All Implemented Interfaces:
NumberExpression, Observable, ObservableFloatValue, ObservableNumberValue, ObservableValue<Number>
Direct Known Subclasses:
FloatBinding, ReadOnlyFloatProperty

public abstract class FloatExpression
extends NumberExpressionBase
implements ObservableFloatValue
FloatExpression is an ObservableFloatValue plus additional convenience methods to generate bindings in a fluent style.

A concrete sub-class of FloatExpression has to implement the method ObservableFloatValue.get(), which provides the actual value of this expression.

JavaFX 2.0
  • Constructor Details

    • FloatExpression

      public FloatExpression()
      Creates a default FloatExpression.
  • Method Details

    • floatExpression

      public static FloatExpression floatExpression​(ObservableFloatValue value)
      Returns a FloatExpression that wraps a ObservableFloatValue. If the ObservableFloatValue is already a FloatExpression, it will be returned. Otherwise a new FloatBinding is created that is bound to the ObservableFloatValue.
      Parameters:
      value - The source ObservableFloatValue
      Returns:
      A FloatExpression that wraps the ObservableFloatValue if necessary
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if value is null
    • floatExpression

      public static <T extends Number> FloatExpression floatExpression​(ObservableValue<T> value)
      Returns a FloatExpression that wraps an ObservableValue. If the ObservableValue is already a FloatExpression, it will be returned. Otherwise a new FloatBinding is created that is bound to the ObservableValue.

      Note: this method can be used to convert an ObjectExpression or ObjectProperty of specific number type to FloatExpression, which is essentially an ObservableValue<Number>. See sample below.

         FloatProperty floatProperty = new SimpleFloatProperty(1.0f);
         ObjectProperty<Float> objectProperty = new SimpleObjectProperty<>(2.0f);
         BooleanBinding binding = floatProperty.greaterThan(FloatExpression.floatExpression(objectProperty));
       
      Note: null values will be interpreted as 0f
      Type Parameters:
      T - The type of Number to be wrapped
      Parameters:
      value - The source ObservableValue
      Returns:
      A FloatExpression that wraps the ObservableValue if necessary
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if value is null
