Method Detail

acceptAX25Frame

public int acceptAX25Frame(AX25Frame frame)

Indicate whether the specified message should be displayed.

Specified by:

acceptAX25Frame in class Filter

Parameters:

frame - the timestamped AX25 frame record to analyze

Returns:

RESULT_xxx constant indicating if message information should be displayed

getFilterTypeTagName

public java.lang.String getFilterTypeTagName()

Report a tag name used to look up the labelling for an editor panel for this editor instance in a ResourceBundle of translated names.

Specified by:

getFilterTypeTagName in class Filter

Returns:

String to use in looking up form label for this filter's editor

getFilterHelpTagName

public java.lang.String getFilterHelpTagName()

Report a tag name used to look up JavaHelp for a filter editor.

Specified by:

getFilterHelpTagName in class Filter

Returns:

String name (as defined in HelpMap.jhm) for this filter's online help, or null if there is no filter specific help

getFilterUIName

public java.lang.String getFilterUIName()

Get the class name of a dynamically loadable class for the the GUI for this filter. The name is allowed to have a wildcard '*' in it where a GUI type ("gui" for standard Java or "android" for Android) can be substituted.

Specified by:

getFilterUIName in class Filter

Returns:

String name of GUI class for this filter

acceptStation

public int acceptStation(StationState ss)

Indicate whether the specified station should be displayed. The acceptMessage() and acceptAX25Frame() methods may be called to assist in the determination.

Specified by:

acceptStation in class Filter

Parameters:

ss - StationState record to analyze

Returns:

RESULT_xxx constant indicating if station information should be displayed

acceptMessage

public int acceptMessage(AX25Message msg)

Indicate whether the specified message should be displayed or used to determine if a station should be displayed (if recursively called from acceptStation()).

Specified by:

acceptMessage in class Filter

Parameters:

msg - the APRS Message record to analyze

Returns:

RESULT_xxx constant indicating if message information should be displayed

addFilterChangeListener

public void addFilterChangeListener(FilterChangeListener l)

Register a listener for changes of this Filter.

Specified by:

addFilterChangeListener in class Filter

Parameters:

l - FilterChangeListener to register

removeFilterChangeListener

public void removeFilterChangeListener(FilterChangeListener l)

Deregisters a listener. The listener will no longer be informed of changes to this filter.

Specified by:

removeFilterChangeListener in class Filter

Parameters:

l - FilterChangeListener to deregister

setToPassall

public void setToPassall()

Reset the filter to a configuration that would pass the maximum amount of messages, packets, and stations.

Specified by:

setToPassall in class Filter

canRejectSome

public boolean canRejectSome()

Specifies that this filter may reject some stations, messages, and/or frames. Used to tell combining filters whether a sub-filter is in passall mode and therefore doesn't need to be checked for every call to the combiner, thereby saving CPU time when filtering when most filters are in passall mode.

Overrides:

canRejectSome in class Filter

Returns:

boolean true if this filter is currently capable of rejecting something
