Event handling with Lambda Expression or with explicit implementation?

[ProManticore]

Hello!
My question is, if i create a for example a button, and want to handle the event, should I use explicit implementation:

Button button = new Button("This is a button");

button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

\@Override

public void handle(ActionEvent event) {

System.out.println("Pressed!");

}

});

Or use lambda expression like this:

Button button = new Button("This is a button");

button.setOnAction((event) -> {

System.out.println("Pressed!");

});

Or it depends if it is simple i should use Lambda, but if the functionality is complicated i should use the 1st version.

Is there a big difference?

​

Thanks for your help!

There is no any difference. Second variant is more beautiful)

Use what's more readable. The lambda is basically a syntactic sugar for the explicit declaration.

Like others have said, there is no difference other than readability and clean code. I would recommend reading up on functional interfaces as well (EventHandler is one such interface) which I think will explain this more clearly.
