How to create our own Listener interface in android?

Question

Could someone help me to create user defined listener interface with some code snippets?

Answer 1

There are 4 steps:

1.create interface class (listener)

2.use interface in view 1 (define variable)

3.implements interface to view 2 (view 1 used in view 2)

4.pass interface in view 1 to view 2

Example:

Step 1: you need create interface and definde function

public interface onAddTextViewCustomListener {
    void onAddText(String text);
}

Step 2: use this interface in view

public class CTextView extends TextView {


    onAddTextViewCustomListener onAddTextViewCustomListener; //listener custom

    public CTextView(Context context, onAddTextViewCustomListener onAddTextViewCustomListener) {
        super(context);
        this.onAddTextViewCustomListener = onAddTextViewCustomListener;
        init(context, null);
    }

    public CTextView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init(context, attrs);
    }

    public CTextView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
        init(context, attrs);
    }

    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    public CTextView(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
        init(context, attrs);
    }

    public void init(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {

        if (isInEditMode())
            return;

        //call listener
        onAddTextViewCustomListener.onAddText("this TextView added");
    }
}

Step 3,4: implements to activity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements onAddTextViewCustomListener {


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //get main view from layout
        RelativeLayout mainView = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainView);

        //create new CTextView and set listener
        CTextView cTextView = new CTextView(getApplicationContext(), this);

        //add cTextView to mainView
        mainView.addView(cTextView);
    }

    @Override
    public void onAddText(String text) {
        Log.i("Message ", text);
    }
}
