Method Detail

registerListener

<T extends Event> void registerListener(EventKey eventKey,
                                        IEventListener<T> eventListener)

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the events to have the event listener be called on

Parameters:

eventKey - the domain of the event listener

eventListener - the actual event listener instance that will be called upon

registerListeners

<T extends Event> void registerListeners(EventKey eventKey,
                                         IEventListener<T>... eventListeners)

Registers multiple event listeners at once.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the events to have the event listeners be called on

Parameters:

eventKey - the domain of the event listeners

eventListeners - the event listener instances that will be called upon

unregisterListener

void unregisterListener(EventKey eventKey)

Removes all listener from a specific EventKey from this event manager.

Parameters:

eventKey - the domain of the event listeners that will be removed

unregisterListener

void unregisterListener(IEventListener<?> eventListener)

Removes an event listener from all EventEntitys.

Parameters:

eventListener - the event listener to remove

unregisterListener

void unregisterListener(Class<? extends Event> eventClass)

Removes all event listeners for a specific event class.

Parameters:

eventClass - the class that should have all its event listeners removed

callEvent

<T extends Event> boolean callEvent(T event)

Call an event and forward it to all IEventListeners registered on this event manager.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the event and IEventListener to call

Parameters:

event - the event to call

Returns:

true when no IEventListener was called, false otherwise
