Method Detail

getName

public abstract StringDataBit getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface VariableDataBitSet

getType

public abstract StringDataBit getType()

Specified by:

getType in interface VariableDataBitSet

isValid

public int isValid(StringDataBit answersTable)

Description copied from interface: VariableDataBitSet

An error code for what type of error the variable has.

Specified by:

isValid in interface VariableDataBitSet

Returns:

getErrorDescription

public java.lang.String getErrorDescription(StringDataBit answersTable)

Specified by:

getErrorDescription in interface VariableDataBitSet

Returns:

an English description of the error that the variable has, fine-tuned for the Survey Editor GUI(this is admittedly not in line with the GUI-independent implementation of this data stuff, and at some point it should be refactored to a better location).

fix

public boolean fix(StringDataBit answersTable)

Specified by:

fix in interface VariableDataBitSet

hasBeenModified

public boolean hasBeenModified()

Specified by:

hasBeenModified in interface DataBitSet

Returns:

whether the question has been modified since load or if it is new. Basically, it returns whether this DataBitSet needs to be saved.

isNew

public boolean isNew()

setNew

public void setNew(boolean b)

isTypeNumeric

public boolean isTypeNumeric()

Specified by:

isTypeNumeric in interface VariableDataBitSet

isTypeKey

public boolean isTypeKey()

Specified by:

isTypeKey in interface VariableDataBitSet

getVectorOfDataBits

public abstract java.util.Vector<DataBit> getVectorOfDataBits()
