Interface BundleTrackerCustomizer<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the tracked object.

All Known Implementing Classes:

BundleTracker

public interface BundleTrackerCustomizer<T>

The BundleTrackerCustomizer interface allows a BundleTracker to customize the Bundles that are tracked. A BundleTrackerCustomizer is called when a bundle is being added to a BundleTracker. The BundleTrackerCustomizer can then return an object for the tracked bundle. A BundleTrackerCustomizer is also called when a tracked bundle is modified or has been removed from a BundleTracker.

The methods in this interface may be called as the result of a BundleEvent being received by a BundleTracker. Since BundleEvents are received synchronously by the BundleTracker, it is highly recommended that implementations of these methods do not alter bundle states while being synchronized on any object.

The BundleTracker class is thread-safe. It does not call a BundleTrackerCustomizer while holding any locks. BundleTrackerCustomizer implementations must also be thread-safe.
