Class ApplicationController

java.lang.Object

com.codename1.rad.controllers.Controller

com.codename1.rad.controllers.ApplicationController

All Implemented Interfaces:

ActionListener<ControllerEvent>

public class ApplicationController
extends Controller

The main application controller. This is the root controller for the entire application. Applications should extend this class and use it as their main application class. Then can then override the actionPerformed() method to handle events of type ApplicationController.StartEvent, ApplicationController.StopEvent, ApplicationController.DestroyEvent, and ApplicationController.InitEvent.

The application controller is ideally suited to act as the main class for a CodenameOne application. It implements all of the lifecycle methods (init(java.lang.Object), start(), stop(), and destroy(), and dispatches corresponding events that you can handle in your controller.

Example

Typical application structure, replacing the main app class with an ApplicationController

public class MyApplication extends ApplicationController {
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
         if (evt instance of StartEvent) {
             evt.consume();

             // Show a form
             new MyFormController(this).getView().show();
         }
     }
}
