Method Detail

select

default void select(T... items)

Adds the given items to the set of currently selected items.

By default this does not clear any previous selection. To do that, use deselectAll().

If the all the items were already selected, this is a NO-OP.

This is a short-hand for updateSelection(Set, Set) with nothing to deselect.

Parameters:

items - to add to selection, not null

deselect

default void deselect(T... items)

Removes the given items from the set of currently selected items.

If the none of the items were selected, this is a NO-OP.

This is a short-hand for updateSelection(Set, Set) with nothing to select.

Parameters:

items - to remove from selection, not null

updateSelection

void updateSelection(Set<T> addedItems,
                     Set<T> removedItems)

Updates the selection by adding and removing the given items from it.

If all the added items were already selected and the removed items were not selected, this is a NO-OP.

Duplicate items (in both add & remove sets) are ignored and removed from the sets.

Parameters:

addedItems - the items to add, not null

removedItems - the items to remove, not null

getSelectedItems

Set<T> getSelectedItems()

Returns an immutable set of the currently selected items. It is safe to invoke other SelectionModel methods while iterating over the set.

Implementation note: the iteration order of the items in the returned set should be well-defined and documented by the implementing class.

Returns:

the items in the current selection, not null

deselectAll

default void deselectAll()

Deselects all currently selected items.

isSelected

default boolean isSelected(T item)

Returns whether the given item is currently selected.

Parameters:

addSelectionListener

Registration addSelectionListener(MultiSelectionListener<T> listener)

Parameters:

listener - the value change listener, not null

a registration for the listener
