Java listener on dialog close

Question

I have a Java app that displays a list from a database. Inside the class is the following code to open a new dialog for data entry:

@Action public void addNewEntry() {     JFrame mainFrame = ADLog2App.getApplication().getMainFrame();     addNewDialog = new AddNewView(mainFrame, true);     addNewDialog.setLocationRelativeTo(mainFrame);     addNewDialog.addContainerListener(null);     ADLog2App.getApplication().show(addNewDialog); } 

How do you add a listener to the main class to detect when the addNewDialog window is closed, so that I can call a refresh method and refresh the list from the database.

Answer 1

If AddNewView is a Window such as a Dialog or JDialog, you could use the Window.addWindowListener(...). That is, in your main class, you do

addNewDialog.addWindowListener(someWindowListener); 

where someWindowListener is some WindowListener (for instance a WindowAdapter) which overrides / implemetnns windowClosed.

A more complete example, using an anonymous class, could look like

addNewDialog.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {     @Override     public void windowClosed(WindowEvent e) {         refreshMainView();     } });

you have to add WindowListener and override windowClosing Event, if event occured then just returs some flag, example here
