/**
|
|
* Defines a way to filter stanzas for particular attributes. Stanza filters are used when
|
|
* constructing stanza listeners or collectors -- the filter defines what stanzas match the criteria
|
|
* of the collector or listener for further stanza processing.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Several simple filters are pre-defined. These filters can be logically combined for more complex
|
|
* stanza filtering by using the {@link org.jivesoftware.smack.filter.AndFilter AndFilter} and
|
|
* {@link org.jivesoftware.smack.filter.OrFilter OrFilter} filters. It's also possible to define
|
|
* your own filters by implementing this interface. The code example below creates a trivial filter
|
|
* for stanzas with a specific ID (real code should use {@link StanzaIdFilter} instead).
|
|
*
|
|
* <pre>
|
|
* // Use an anonymous inner class to define a stanza filter that returns
|
|
* // all stanzas that have a stanza ID of "RS145".
|
|
* StanzaFilter myFilter = new StanzaFilter() {
|
|
* public boolean accept(Stanza stanza) {
|
|
* return "RS145".equals(stanza.getStanzaId());
|
|
* }
|
|
* };
|
|
* // Create a new stanza collector using the filter we created.
|
|
* StanzaCollector myCollector = connection.createStanzaCollector(myFilter);
|
|
* </pre>
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* As a rule of thumb: If you have a predicate method, that is, a method which takes a single Stanza as argument, is pure
|
|
* (side effect free) and returns only a boolean, then it is a good indicator that the logic should be put into a
|
|
* {@link StanzaFilter} (and be referenced in {@link org.jivesoftware.smack.StanzaListener}).
