public interface AutoExpandable

This interface is intended to be implemented by classes that also implement Element to indicate whether a particular Element should be auto-expanded in the navigator upon creation. When an Element says that it is not auto-expandable in a particular Context, it means that auto-expansion will stop at that point in the tree.

Method Summary

boolean

shouldAutoExpand(Context expansionContext) The implementation of this method should return true if this Element is allowed to be auto-expanded.

Method Detail

shouldAutoExpand

boolean shouldAutoExpand(Context expansionContext)

The implementation of this method should return true if this Element is allowed to be auto-expanded. If false is returned, it means that auto-expansion will occur up to this Element but not drill in any further.

Parameters:

expansionContext - The auto-expansion Context. This Context is not necessarily the context of this Element, but it is the Context where auto-expansion was initiated. It is also possible that the expansionContext will be null if there is a reason that a Context could not be provided. Implementations need to check for null before dereferencing expansionContext.
