How to avoid triggering TableViewer when closing in Eclipse

I'm creating a TableViewer which has to respond to selections in other components.

I'm doing some actions in the implemented selectionChanged method.

@Override
public void selectionChanged(IWorkbenchPart part, ISelection selection) {
}

I want to avoid triggering the operations in selectionChanged method when I close the view.

I tried checking the received part:

if(part.getSite().getId()!="myviewid")
{
}

But I always get the part of the previous selection (in my case ResourceNavigator).

How can I check if I selected my view and avoid doing some operations ?

Solution

  • You should remove your selection listener from the selection service when your view part is disposed

    @Override
public void dispose()
{
  ISelectionService service = (ISelectionService)getSite().getService(ISelectionService.class);

  service.removeSelectionListener(myListener);

  super.dispose();
}
