public abstract class IntegerProperty
extends ReadOnlyIntegerProperty
implements Property<Number>, WritableIntegerValue

This class defines a Property wrapping an int value.

The value of an IntegerProperty can be get and set with ObservableIntegerValue.get(), IntegerExpression.getValue(), WritableIntegerValue.set(int), and setValue(Number).

A property can be bound and unbound unidirectional with Property.bind(ObservableValue) and Property.unbind(). Bidirectional bindings can be created and removed with bindBidirectional(Property) and unbindBidirectional(Property).

The context of a IntegerProperty can be read with ReadOnlyProperty.getBean() and ReadOnlyProperty.getName().

Note: setting or binding this property to a null value will set the property to "0.0". See setValue(java.lang.Number).

JavaFX 2.0

Constructor Details

IntegerProperty

public IntegerProperty()

Creates a default IntegerProperty.

Method Details

setValue

public void setValue(Number v)

Set the wrapped value.

Specified by:

setValue in interface WritableIntegerValue

Specified by:

setValue in interface WritableValue<Number>

Parameters:

v - The new value

bindBidirectional

public void bindBidirectional(Property<Number> other)

Create a bidirectional binding between this Property and another one. Bidirectional bindings exists independently of unidirectional bindings. So it is possible to add unidirectional binding to a property with bidirectional binding and vice-versa. However, this practice is discouraged.

It is possible to have multiple bidirectional bindings of one Property.

JavaFX bidirectional binding implementation use weak listeners. This means bidirectional binding does not prevent properties from being garbage collected.

Specified by:

bindBidirectional in interface Property<Number>

Parameters:

other - the other Property

unbindBidirectional

public void unbindBidirectional(Property<Number> other)

Removes a bidirectional binding between this Property and another one. If no bidirectional binding between the properties exists, calling this method has no effect. It is possible to unbind by a call on the second property. This code will work:

     property1.bindBidirectional(property2);
     property2.unbindBidirectional(property1);
 

Specified by:

unbindBidirectional in interface Property<Number>

Parameters:

other - the other Property

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this IntegerProperty object.

Overrides:

toString in class ReadOnlyIntegerProperty

Returns:

a string representation of this IntegerProperty object.

integerProperty

public static IntegerProperty integerProperty(Property<Integer> property)

Returns a IntegerProperty that wraps a Property and is bidirectionally bound to it. Changing this property will result in a change of the original property.

This is very useful when bidirectionally binding an ObjectProperty<Integer> and a IntegerProperty.

   IntegerProperty integerProperty = new SimpleIntegerProperty(1);
   ObjectProperty<Integer> objectProperty = new SimpleObjectProperty<>(2);

   // Need to keep the reference as bidirectional binding uses weak references
   IntegerProperty objectAsInteger = IntegerProperty.integerProperty(objectProperty);

   integerProperty.bindBidirectional(objectAsInteger);

 

Another approach is to convert the IntegerProperty to ObjectProperty using asObject() method.

Note: null values in the source property will be interpreted as 0

Parameters:

property - The source Property

Returns:

A IntegerProperty that wraps the Property

Throws:

NullPointerException - if property is null

Since:

JavaFX 8.0

• asObject()

asObject

public ObjectProperty<Integer> asObject()

Creates an ObjectProperty that bidirectionally bound to this IntegerProperty. If the value of this IntegerProperty changes, the value of the ObjectProperty will be updated automatically and vice-versa.

Can be used for binding an ObjectProperty to IntegerProperty.

   IntegerProperty integerProperty = new SimpleIntegerProperty(1);
   ObjectProperty<Integer> objectProperty = new SimpleObjectProperty<>(2);

   objectProperty.bind(integerProperty.asObject());
 

Overrides:

asObject in class ReadOnlyIntegerProperty

Returns:

the new ObjectProperty
