Interface InvalidationListener

All Known Implementing Classes:
BindingHelperObserver, WeakInvalidationListener
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface public interface InvalidationListener
An InvalidationListener is notified whenever an Observable becomes invalid. It can be registered and unregistered with Observable.addListener(InvalidationListener) respectively Observable.removeListener(InvalidationListener)

For an in-depth explanation of invalidation events and how they differ from change events, see the documentation of ObservableValue.

The same instance of InvalidationListener can be registered to listen to multiple Observables.
