Constructor Details
- ReplyListener
  
  public ReplyListener()
  
  Creates a new reply listener. Uses `App.client` to access client's properties.
Method Details
- run
  
  public void run()
  
  Inherited from Runnable interface. Describes the mechanism with which the client listens to messages. In a loop: - Reads from the socket's input stream - Serializes the message - Prints out the humanized message (cfr. Message.humanize()) - Handles the message if there's need to. (e.g. for an error without parameters such as ServerAnnouncement there is no need to handle it because printing its content to the user is more than enough)
  
  Specified by:
  
  run in interface Runnable
- handle
  
  public void handle(Message message)
  
  Handles a received message. It first checks whether it is a Message or a Server Announcement and redirects the execution flow towards the proper method.
  
  Parameters:
  
  message - The message to be handled.
