Interface Callback

All Known Subinterfaces:
  CallbackProxy, StdCallLibrary.StdCallCallback

    public interface Callback

All callback definitions must derive from this interface. Any derived interfaces must define a single public method (which may not be named "hashCode", "equals", or "toString"), or one public method named "callback". You are responsible for deregistering your callback (if necessary) in its `Object.finalize()` method. If native code attempts to call a callback which has been GC'd, you will likely crash the VM. If there is no method to deregister the callback (e.g. `atexit` in the C library), you must ensure that you always keep a live reference to the callback object.

A callback should generally never throw an exception, since it doesn't necessarily have an encompassing Java environment to catch it. Any exceptions thrown will be passed to the default callback exception handler.

Field Summary
`static Collection` | `FORBIDDEN_NAMES` These method names may not be used for a callback method.
`static String` | `METHOD_NAME` You must this method name if your callback interface has multiple public methods.

Field Detail

### METHOD_NAME

    static final String METHOD_NAME

  You must this method name if your callback interface has multiple public methods. Typically a callback will have only one such method, in which case any method name may be used, with the exception of those in `FORBIDDEN_NAMES`.

    Constant Field Values

### FORBIDDEN_NAMES

    static final Collection FORBIDDEN_NAMES

  These method names may not be used for a callback method.
