Class Boxed

public class Boxed extends Struct

Deprecated: This class is part of the java-gnome 2.x family of libraries, which, due to their inefficiency and complexity, are no longer being maintained and have been abandoned by the java-gnome project. This class may have an equivalent in java-gnome 4.0, see org.gnome.glib.Boxed. You should be aware that there is a considerably different API in the new library: the architecture is completely different and most notably internals are no longer exposed to public view.

A mechanism to wrap opaque structures registered by the type system.
Constructor Summary
protected Boxed()
This class is only instantiable via subclasses.
protected Boxed(Handle handle)
Method Summary
booleanequals(Object other)
Check if two objects refer to the same (native) object.
protected voidfinalize()
static BoxedgetBoxedFromHandle(Handle hndl)
Gets a Boxed instance for the given Handle.
inthashCode()
Returns a hash code value for the object.

Constructor Detail

Boxed

protected Boxed()

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

This class is only instantiable via subclasses.

Boxed

protected Boxed(Handle handle)

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Check if two objects refer to the same (native) object.

Parameters: other the reference object with which to compare.

Returns: true if both objects refer to the same object.

finalize

protected void finalize()

getBoxedFromHandle

public static Boxed getBoxedFromHandle(Handle hndl)

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Gets a Boxed instance for the given Handle. If no Java object currently exists for the given Handle, this method will return null. You should then instantiate the required Java class using the class' handle-constructor. For example:
 // Get a Handle from somewhere (typically as a parameter to a method
 // used as a callback and invoked from the C JNI side).
 SomeGtkClass finalobj = null;
 Boxed obj = Boxed.getBoxedFromHandle(handle);
 if (obj == null) {
     finalobj = new SomeGtkClass(handle);
 } else {
     finalobj = (SomeGtkClass) obj;
 }
 
NOTE: This is for internal use only and should never need to be used in application code.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Deprecated: Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; a method along these lines may well exist in the new bindings, but if it does it likely has a different name or signature due to the shift to an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Returns a hash code value for the object. This allows for using Boxed objects as keys in hashmaps.

Returns: a hash code value for the object.
