I am a new GWTP user and I am not sure how to create a table in GWTP. I know how to make one in GWT.
// Create a CellTable.
CellTable<Contact> table = new CellTable<Contact>();
// Create name column.
TextColumn<Contact> nameColumn = new TextColumn<Contact>() {
@Override
public String getValue(Contact contact) {
return contact.name;
}
};
But This doesn't seem to work in GWTP. Can someone please help me with getting the values on a button press in a GWTP program.
I'm aware you asked this question over a week ago but you may still be stuck on it so here goes. You just have to make sure you put the right bits of logic in the Presenter
and View
respectively.
It's no different from MVP (Model-View-Presenter) without GWTP in principle:
Your Presenter
has the job of getting the data to fill the CellTable
, and passing it to the View
:
public class TablePresenter extends Presenter<TablePresenter.MyView, TablePresenter.MyProxy>
{
public interface MyView extends View
{
void addData(List<Contact> accounts); // pass data to view
}
// proxy and constructor omitted for brevity...
@Override
protected void onReveal()
{
super.onReveal();
// server action to get contacts
dispatchAsync.execute(new GetContacts(), new AsyncCallback<GetContactsResult>()
{
@Override
public void onSuccess(GetContactsResult result)
{
getView().addData(result.getContacts());
}
});
}
}
Your View
has the job of initially setting up the CellTable
and its Column
s, as well as receiving the data from the Presenter
. Here I show a TextColumn
and a Column
using a ButtonCell
:
public class TableView extends View implements TablePresenter.MyView
{
@UiField
CellTable<Contact> table;
// use a dataprovider to hold the data
private ListDataProvider<Contact> dataProvider = new ListDataProvider<Contact>();
// COLUMNS
TextColumn<Contact> nameColumn;
Column<Contact, String> buttonColumn;
@Inject
public AccountsView(Binder uiBinder)
{
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
initTable();
}
private void initTable()
{
nameColumn = new TextColumn<Contact>()
{
@Override
public String getValue(Contact object)
{
return object.name;
}
};
// now add the column to the table
table.addColumn(nameColumn, "Name");
buttonColumn = new Column<Contact, String>(new ButtonCell())
{
// the text of the button
@Override
public String getValue(Contact object)
{
return "Delete " + object.name;
}
};
// set the button action
deleteColumn.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<Contact, String>()
{
@Override
public void update(int index, Contact object, String value)
{
// whatever you want to do when you click the button
Window.alert("You pressed " + object.name);
}
});
fileTable.addColumn(deleteColumn);
// link dataprovider to the table
dataProvider.addDataDisplay(table);
}
@Override
public void addData(List<Contact> contacts)
{
// clear the dataProvider's list
dataProvider.getList().clear();
// pass the data into the list
dataProvider.setList(contacts);
}
}
Then in your UiBinder:
<g:HTMLPanel>
<b:CellTable ui:field="table" />
</g:HTMLPanel>
