Stopping Action Listener Queue
I Have this:
public void actionPerformed1(ActionEvent e) { ... }
public void actionPerformed2(ActionEvent e) { ... }
public void actionPerformed3(ActionEvent e) { ... }
JButton b = new JButton();
b.addActionListener(this::actionPerformed1);
b.addActionListener(this::actionPerformed2);
b.addActionListener(this::actionPerformed3);
The code always executes action 3, then 2 and 1 in that order.
Is it possible to stop the execution of the queue without throwing a run time exception?
Thanks for your time.

Sure, just add a flag whether further listeners should be executed and check it in the listener methods.

I think you cannot stop it without using an Exception
. If you look at the code in JButton
which gets executed when its firing an ActionEvent
(s.b.), you see that its just iterating in a for loop over a copy of the array of registered ActionListeners
.
So you can try within the callback methods to unregister all Actionlistener
s but this does not help since the loop uses a local copy. And you cannot increment the variable i
from the callback neither.
protected void fireActionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
// Dispatch a copy of the given ActionEvent in order to
// set the source and action command correctly.
ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(
this,
e.getID(),
getActionCommand(),
e.getWhen(),
e.getModifiers());
ActionListener listeners = getActionListeners();
for (int i = 0; i < listeners.length; i++) //no way to prematurely terminate this loop
listeners[i].actionPerformed(ae);
}
However you can use a common variable in your class to signal in your callback methods, that they should just return, but this would not avoid their execution, but rather execute code which just decides to prematurely return.
