public abstract class MapAdapter

Object
MapAdapter

Instances of this class adapt an arbitrary object type so a property can appear differently when it’s placed into a Map or initialized from a Map. This impacts JSON generation too as it relies heavily on the process of transforming elements to/from maps.

To use this class create a new subclass of it and override the appropriate methods.

Constructors

protected MapAdapter(Class type) By default subclasses should target a specific type but this can be further narrowed by overriding #useAdapterFor(com.codename1.properties.PropertyBase).

Methods

`public boolean useAdapterFor(PropertyBase b)`	Returns true if the adapter should be used for this property
`public void placeInMap(PropertyBase b, Map m)`	Places the given property into the given map
`public void setFromMap(PropertyBase b, Map m)`	Sets the value of the property from the map object

Inherited methods
