Java Observable clearChanged() Method
Description
The Java Observable clearChanged(Observer o) method indicates that this object has no longer changed, or that it has already notified all of its observers of its most recent change. This method is called automatically by the notifyObservers methods.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for Java.util.Observable.clearChanged() method
protected void clearChanged()
Parameters
NA
Return Value
NA
Exception
NA
Clearing Change for Observer for a String Value Change Example
The following example shows the usage of java.util.Observable.clearChanged() method. We've created an ObservedObject class by extending Observable class and then overridden its method resetValue() calling the clearChanged() method. In main class, We've added the observer using addObserver() method and in output, we've printed the updates happening to the value of ObservedObject.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Observable; import java.util.Observer; class ObservedObject extends Observable { private String watchedValue; public ObservedObject(String value) { watchedValue = value; } public void setValue(String value) { // if value has changed notify observers if(!watchedValue.equals(value)) { System.out.println("Value changed to new value: "+value); watchedValue = value; // mark as value changed setChanged(); } } public void resetValue() { // reset value changed flag clearChanged(); } } public class ObservableDemo implements Observer { public static void main(String[] args) { // create watched and watcher objects ObservedObject watched = new ObservedObject("Original Value"); // watcher object listens to object change ObservableDemo watcher = new ObservableDemo("Watcher"); // add observer to the watched object watched.addObserver(watcher); // trigger value change System.out.println("setValue method called..."); watched.setValue("New Value"); // check if value has changed if(watched.hasChanged()) { System.out.println("Value changed"); } else { System.out.println("Value not changed"); } // trigger reset System.out.println("resetValue method called..."); watched.resetValue(); // check if value has changed if(watched.hasChanged()) { System.out.println("Value changed"); } else { System.out.println("Value not changed"); } } public void update(Observable obj, Object arg) { System.out.println("Update called with Arguments: "+arg); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
setValue method called... Value changed resetValue method called... Value not changed
Clearing Change for Observer for an Integer Value Change Example
The following example shows the usage of java.util.Observable.clearChanged() method. We've created an ObservedObject class by extending Observable class and then overridden its method resetValue() calling the clearChanged() method. In main class, We've added the observer using addObserver() method and in output, we've printed the updates happening to the value of ObservedObject.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Observable; import java.util.Observer; class ObservedObject extends Observable { private Integer watchedValue; public ObservedObject(Integer value) { watchedValue = value; } public void setValue(Integer value) { // if value has changed notify observers if(!watchedValue.equals(value)) { System.out.println("Value changed to new value: "+value); watchedValue = value; // mark as value changed setChanged(); } } public void resetValue() { // reset value changed flag clearChanged(); } } public class ObservableDemo implements Observer { public static void main(String[] args) { // create watched and watcher objects ObservedObject watched = new ObservedObject(1); // watcher object listens to object change ObservableDemo watcher = new ObservableDemo("Watcher"); // add observer to the watched object watched.addObserver(watcher); // trigger value change System.out.println("setValue method called..."); watched.setValue(2); // check if value has changed if(watched.hasChanged()) { System.out.println("Value changed"); } else { System.out.println("Value not changed"); } // trigger reset System.out.println("resetValue method called..."); watched.resetValue(); // check if value has changed if(watched.hasChanged()) { System.out.println("Value changed"); } else { System.out.println("Value not changed"); } } public void update(Observable obj, Object arg) { System.out.println("Update called with Arguments: "+arg); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
setValue method called... Value changed resetValue method called... Value not changed
Clearing Change for Observer for an Object Value Change Example

In main class, We've added the observer using addObserver() method and in output, we've printed the updates happening to the value of ObservedObject.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Observable; import java.util.Observer; class ObservedObject extends Observable { private Student watchedValue; public ObservedObject(Student value) { watchedValue = value; } public void setValue(Student value) { // if value has changed notify observers if(!watchedValue.equals(value)) { System.out.println("Value changed to new value: "+value); watchedValue = value; // mark as value changed setChanged(); } } public void resetValue() { // reset value changed flag clearChanged(); } } public class ObservableDemo implements Observer { public static void main(String[] args) { // create watched and watcher objects ObservedObject watched = new ObservedObject(new Student(1, "Julie")); // watcher object listens to object change ObservableDemo watcher = new ObservableDemo("Watcher"); // add observer to the watched object watched.addObserver(watcher); // trigger value change System.out.println("setValue method called..."); watched.setValue(new Student(2, "Robert")); // check if value has changed if(watched.hasChanged()) { System.out.println("Value changed"); } else { System.out.println("Value not changed"); } // trigger reset System.out.println("resetValue method called..."); watched.resetValue(); // check if value has changed if(watched.hasChanged()) { System.out.println("Value changed"); } else { System.out.println("Value not changed"); } } public void update(Observable obj, Object arg) { System.out.println("Update called with Arguments: "+arg); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
setValue method called... Value changed resetValue method called... Value not changed
