data and resources. It can be set to any class. It is universal and independent of any other.
Removes all referenced data, close all opened resources, removes all graphical widgets etc.
Method Detail
remove
boolean remove()
Removes all referenced data, close all opened resources, removes all graphical widgets etc.
This method prepares a dereferencing of the instance. It is similar to the concept of
Object.finalize(). But finalize() is designed for the last clearing before the garbage collector
deletes an instance. In opposite remove cleans and closes on active run time.
It may be proper to call remove inside the finalize() implementation.
The remove() implementation should check whether some instances are removed already to support
a second call of remove() after a first one!
Returns:
true if successfully. If false it is a hint for the application that the instance itself
should not be removed.
