Method Detail

addConversionEventListener

public void addConversionEventListener(Converter.ConversionEventListener listener)

Add a listener for the Converter.ConversionEvent event.

Parameters:

listener - Listener for the Converter.ConversionEvent event. If a listener is added that is already registered, it is ignored.

removeConversionEventListener

public void removeConversionEventListener(Converter.ConversionEventListener listener)

Remove registered listener for the Converter.ConversionEvent event.

Parameters:

listener - Listener for the Converter.ConversionEvent event that should be removed. If the listener is not registered, it is ignored.
