Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<T> Step	convertTo(IConverter<? super F,? extends T> converter)	Sets the from-to direction converter on the resulting binding.
Step	defaultConvert()	Makes the resulting binding use default converters between the two observables.

Method Details

convertTo

<T> Step convertTo(IConverter<? super F,? extends T> converter)

Sets the from-to direction converter on the resulting binding. The defines the type of the to-end observable.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the to-end observable

Parameters:

converter - the converter to set

Returns:

defaultConvert

Step defaultConvert()

Makes the resulting binding use default converters between the two observables. Because of this an observable of any type may be used.

For example, converters to and from strings and numeric types are available.

However, the IObservableValue.getValueType() or IObservableCollection.getElementType() of both the observables must be non-null.

See DataBindingContext for information about types that have default converters and how they work.

Returns:
