How to Define Callbacks in Android?

In many cases, you have an interface and pass along an object that implements it. Dialogs for example have the OnClickListener.

Just as a random example:

// The callback interface
interface MyCallback {
    void callbackCall();
}

// The class that takes the callback
class Worker {
   MyCallback callback;

   void onEvent() {
      callback.callbackCall();
   }
}

// Option 1:

class Callback implements MyCallback {
   void callbackCall() {
      // callback code goes here
   }
}

worker.callback = new Callback();

// Option 2:

worker.callback = new MyCallback() {

   void callbackCall() {
      // callback code goes here
   }
};

I probably messed up the syntax in option 2. It's early.

When something happens in my view I fire off an event that my activity is listening for:

// DECLARED IN (CUSTOM) VIEW

    private OnScoreSavedListener onScoreSavedListener;
    public interface OnScoreSavedListener {
        public void onScoreSaved();
    }
    // ALLOWS YOU TO SET LISTENER && INVOKE THE OVERIDING METHOD 
    // FROM WITHIN ACTIVITY
    public void setOnScoreSavedListener(OnScoreSavedListener listener) {
        onScoreSavedListener = listener;
    }

// DECLARED IN ACTIVITY

    MyCustomView slider = (MyCustomView) view.findViewById(R.id.slider)
    slider.setOnScoreSavedListener(new OnScoreSavedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onScoreSaved() {
            Log.v("","EVENT FIRED");
        }
    });

If you want to know more about communication (callbacks) between fragments see here: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html#CommunicatingWithActivity

No need to define a new interface when you can use an existing one: android.os.Handler.Callback. Pass an object of type Callback, and invoke callback's handleMessage(Message msg).
