This is a utility class that can be used by beans that support bound properties. It manages a list of listeners and dispatches[PropertyChangeEvent](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/beans/PropertyChangeEvent)s to them. You can use an instance of this class as a member field of your bean and delegate these types of work to it. The[PropertyChangeListener](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/beans/PropertyChangeListener)can be registered for all properties or for a property specified by name.

Here is an example of`PropertyChangeSupport`usage that follows the rules and recommendations laid out in the JavaBeans™ specification:  

```kotlin
public class MyBean {
      private final PropertyChangeSupport pcs = new PropertyChangeSupport(this);
 
      public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          this.pcs.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);
      }
 
      public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) {
          this.pcs.removePropertyChangeListener(listener);
      }
 
      private String value;
 
      public String getValue() {
          return this.value;
      }
 
      public void setValue(String newValue) {
          String oldValue = this.value;
          this.value = newValue;
          this.pcs.firePropertyChange("value", oldValue, newValue);
      }
 
      [...]
  }
  
```

A`PropertyChangeSupport`instance is thread-safe.

This class is serializable. When it is serialized it will save (and restore) any listeners that are themselves serializable. Any non-serializable listeners will be skipped during serialization.

### addPropertyChangeListener

Added in[API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
open fun addPropertyChangeListener(listener: PropertyChangeListener!): Unit
```

Add a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list. The listener is registered for all properties. The same listener object may be added more than once, and will be called as many times as it is added. If`listener`is null, no exception is thrown and no action is taken.

```
open fun addPropertyChangeListener(
    propertyName: String!,

```

Add a PropertyChangeListener for a specific property. The listener will be invoked only when a call on firePropertyChange names that specific property. The same listener object may be added more than once. For each property, the listener will be invoked the number of times it was added for that property. If`propertyName`or`listener`is null, no exception is thrown and no action is taken.

### getPropertyChangeListeners

Added in[API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)

open fun getPropertyChangeListeners(): Array<PropertyChangeListener!>!
```

Returns an array of all the listeners that were added to the PropertyChangeSupport object with addPropertyChangeListener().

If some listeners have been added with a named property, then the returned array will be a mixture of PropertyChangeListeners and`PropertyChangeListenerProxy`s. If the calling method is interested in distinguishing the listeners then it must test each element to see if it's a`PropertyChangeListenerProxy`, perform the cast, and examine the parameter.  

```kotlin
<code>PropertyChangeListener[] listeners = bean.getPropertyChangeListeners();
  for (int i = 0; i &lt; listeners.length; i++) {
    if (listeners[i] instanceof PropertyChangeListenerProxy) {
      PropertyChangeListenerProxy proxy =
                     (PropertyChangeListenerProxy)listeners[i];
      if (proxy.getPropertyName().equals("foo")) {
        // proxy is a PropertyChangeListener which was associated
        // with the property named "foo"
      }
    }
  }

```
open fun hasListeners(propertyName: String!): Boolean

### removePropertyChangeListener

Added in[API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
open fun removePropertyChangeListener(listener: PropertyChangeListener!): Unit
```

Remove a PropertyChangeListener from the listener list. This removes a PropertyChangeListener that was registered for all properties. If`listener`was added more than once to the same event source, it will be notified one less time after being removed. If`listener`is null, or was never added, no exception is thrown and no action is taken.
