Syntax

@AfterCompose

@AfterCompose(superclass=true)

Description

Target: method, class (since 6.0.2)

Purpose: Marker annotation to identify a life-cycle method which will be invoked during BindComposer's doAfterCompose invocation.

Only one or none AfterCompose method is allowed in a ViewModel class. If you set annotation element superclass to true, the ViewModel's parent class's ini method will be invoked first then child's, and this logic repeat on super class. If a class has no method with @AfterCompose, no method will be called (including the super class's).

For example, in class hierarchy A(has AfterCompose) <- B(has AfterCompose) <- C(no AfterCompose) <- D (has AfterCompose, superclass true). D is the last child class.

• When bindComposer start to handle D while doAfterCompose, it will call D's AfterCompose method.
• When binder reaches C, no method will be called.
• When binder reaches B , it will call As' then B's.
• When binder reaches A, it will call A's.

We also can use parameter related annotation on AfterCompose method's parameters just as what we can do in @Init, please refer to subsections of ZK Developer's Reference/MVVM/Syntax/ViewModel/Parameters.

Example

public class FooViewModel{
	@AfterCompose
	public void doFoo(){
		//do while AfterCompose
	}
}

public class BarViewModel extends FooViewModel{
	@AfterCompose(superclass=true)
	public void afterComposeBar(){
		//AfterCompose method of super class FooViewModel will be called first.
	}
}

//since 6.0.2
@AfterCompose(superclass=true)
public class ChildViewModel extends BarViewModel{

}
