Adapter Classes

Java provides adapter classes to simplify the creation of event handlers. Adapter classes provide empty implementations of all methods in a listener interface. This allows developers to only implement the event methods they are interested in, rather than all methods. Some common adapter classes include WindowAdapter, KeyAdapter, and MouseAdapter which correspond to the WindowListener, KeyListener, and MouseListener interfaces.

Adapter Classes

Java provides a special feature, called an adapter class, which will simplify the creation of event handlers in certain situations. An adapter class provides an empty implementation of all
methods in an occasion listener interface. Adapter classes are useful once you want to receive and process just some of the events that are handled by a specific event listener interface.
You can define a replacement class to act as an occasion listener by extending one among the adapter classes and implementing only those events during which you’re interested.
