setPlaceView

void setPlaceView(PlaceView view)

When the client enters a new place, the location director creates a place controller which then creates a place view to visualize the place for the user. The place view created by the place controller will be passed to this function to actually display it in whatever user interface is provided for the user. We don't require any particular user interface toolkit, so it is expected that the place view implementation will coordinate with the client implementation so that the client can display the view provided by the place controller.

Though the place view is created before we enter the place, it won't be displayed (via a call to this function) until we have fully entered the place and are ready for user interaction.

clearPlaceView
