Method Detail

onEnterState

Instruction onEnterState(S exitingState,
                         S enteringState,
                         Event<S> event,
                         ExecutionContext context)

Performs the necessary actions when a FiniteStateMachine enters a particular state. Once finished, the returned Instruction is performed.

Parameters:

exitingState - the previous state of the FiniteStateMachine prior to the state change (may be null if there was no previous state)

enteringState - the new state of the FiniteStateMachine

event - the Event that triggered the action

context - the ExecutionContext for the action

Returns:

the Instruction to be performed by the FiniteStateMachine
