gwt CheckBoxCell within CellList - java

Im trying to create a scrollPanel that holds a list of checkbox item. My main problem is constructing a CellList with CheckboxCell. Here is a snippet of whats causing the compile time error.
CheckboxCell testCheckBox = new CheckboxCell();
CellList<String> cellList = new CellList<String>(testCheckBox);
Error Message: The constructor CellList(CheckboxCell) is undefined.
If this is the wrong constructor, what is the correct way?

Try changing the type of CellList to Boolean.
CheckboxCell testCheckBox = new CheckboxCell();
CellList<Boolean> cellList = new CellList<Boolean>(testCheckBox);
update:
More examples on various cells (this is combined checkbox + picture, but you might want to replace picture with text):
http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwCellTree
It's little trickier, but this showcase contains also sources so might want to dive into them.
PS: Lazier solution is not to use Cell Widgets and make own (extends Composite) combo/label and place it in say FlexTable :)

You can try something like that. You are going to need some extra native code to handle the "check" event.
public class StyleCell extends AbstractCell<Style> {
#Override
public void render(Context context, Style row, SafeHtmlBuilder sb) {
if (row == null) {
return;
}
sb.appendHtmlConstant("<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME='property'>" + row.getProperty() + "</INPUT>");
}
}
StyleCell styleCell = new StyleCell();
CellList<Style> styleList = new CellList<Style>(styleCell);

Adding Context Menu to TableView designed using ObservableMap in JAVAFX

I have created a table using ObservableMap instead of ObservableList. You can see the code (not written by me) here. Now I need to add context menu to every row. So I wrote the code as below:
public MapTableView<String, LineItem> initialize(MapTableView<String, LineItem> tableView) {
tableView.setRowFactory((TableView<Entry<String, LineItem>> tableView1) -> {
final TableRow<Entry<String, LineItem>> row = new TableRow<>();
final ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
final MenuItem cancelMenuItem = new MenuItem("Cancel");
cancelMenuItem.setOnAction((ActionEvent event) -> {
LineItem item = tableView1.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem().getValue();
System.out.println(item.getLineNo()); // gives me null
});
});
contextMenu.getItems().add(cancelMenuItem);
// Set context menu on row, but use a binding to make it only show for non-empty rows:
row.contextMenuProperty().bind(Bindings.when(row.emptyProperty()).then((ContextMenu) null)
.otherwise(contextMenu)
); tableView1.setContextMenu(contextMenu);
return row;
});
return tableView;
}
Actually it is retrieving the order from the table but when I am accessing the variables of the object it is giving me "null". I couldn't find out what wrong I am doing. Please help me with this. More-over I am initializing the table with:
tableView.setEditable(false);
tableView.setColumnResizePolicy(TableView.UNCONSTRAINED_RESIZE_POLICY);
Should I have to use anything like:
tableView.getSelectionModel().setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
Everything is working fine, but when I am trying to access the variables of the "item" I am getting the "Null Pointer Exception" as the values are null, but the object is not null. Thanks in advance.
As #James_D said, using
LineItem item = row.getItem().getValue() solved the issue.

Null error when attempting to add custom row to CellTable in gwt

I have a Cell Table that I am using to output some search results. The cell table uses a list data provider to update info. I want to separate different sections so I am attempting to add a custom row in between different sections that has one cell that spans all of the columns. I am extending AbstractCellTableBuilder to do this, but my issue comes when I use TableRowBuilder and startRow(), calling startRow() returns a null pointer exception, to AbstractCellTableBuilder.java:243, which refers to tbody. So this is leading me to believe that my cell table is not getting passed into AbstractCellTableBuilder properly. My understanding of gwt and java is pretty basic, so I might just not be understanding how exactly this is supposed to work, and the showcase example is pretty complicated for me to understand. If anyone can tell where I'm messing up or has any simpler examples of this that might help me I would appreciate it!
I had found a similar answer and tried to implement it, and that is how I came up with what I have, but it answer wasn't quite detailed enough for me to fully understand how it works. Here is what I referenced:
Building a custom row on demand with GWT CellTableBuilder
EDITED:
Basic format of how I add normal rows to the cell table
searchProvider = new ListDataProvider<SearchColumn>();
cellTable_2 = new CellTable<SearchColumn>();
//Add columns to the cellTable
searchProvider.addDataDisplay(cellTable_2);
//What I call when adding a row to the cellTable using the ListDataProvider
searchProvider.getList().add(new SearchColumn("",label,"","","","","","",""));
Adding the CustomCellTableBuilder to the cell table:
//Passing the CustomCellTableBuilder to the cell table
CustomCellTableBuilder buildRow = new CustomCellTableBuilder();
cellTable_2.setTableBuilder(buildRow);
The CustomCellTableBuilder for adding custom rows:
public class CustomCellTableBuilder extends AbstractCellTableBuilder<SearchColumn>{
public CustomCellTableBuilder() {
super(cellTable_2);
}
#Override
protected void buildRowImpl(SearchColumn rowValue, int absRowIndex){
//building main rows logic
if (labelrow == 1){
System.out.println("Going to build extra row if");
buildExtraRow(absRowIndex, rowValue);
}
else {
System.out.println("Getting into normal buildRow");
buildRow(rowValue,absRowIndex);
}
}
private void buildExtraRow(int absRowIndex, SearchColumn rowValue){
start(true);
TableRowBuilder row = startRow();
TableCellBuilder td = row.startTD().colSpan(getColumns().size());
td.text("Testing this out").endTD();
row.endTR();
}}
I think you should call start(true) before calling startRow() because tbody is initialized to null. Start() call will initialize tbody to HtmlBuilderFactory.get().createTBodyBuilder().
The source doesn't lie.
Just like that:
private void buildExtraRow(int absRowIndex, SearchColumn rowValue) {
start(true); // true makes builder to rebuild all rows
TableRowBuilder row = startRow();
// whatever
}

How to force combobox to render autocomplete options?

This is my zul code:
<combobox id="digitalPublisherCombobox" value="#load(ivm.inventory.digitalPublisherName)"
onOK="#command('setDigitalPublisher', digitalPublisherBox = self)"
onSelect="#command('setDigitalPublisher', digitalPublisherBox = self)"
onChanging="#command('setupQuicksearchByEvent', searchlayout = event, prefix = 'PUB', tags = 'PublisherName, PublisherNameTranslit')"
mold="rounded" hflex="1" buttonVisible="false" autodrop="true">
<comboitem self="#{each=entry}" value="#{entry.key}" label="#{entry.value}"/>
</combobox>
And this is QuickSearch implementations:
#Command
public void setupQuicksearchByEvent(#BindingParam("searchlayout")Event event, #BindingParam("prefix") String prefix, #BindingParam("tags") String tags) throws WrongValueException, SearchException, IOException
{
if(event instanceof InputEvent)
{
InputEvent inputEvent = (InputEvent) event;
String inputText = inputEvent.getValue();
List<String> searchFields = Arrays.asList(tags.split(","));
ListModel model = new ListModelMap(ZKLogic.findDocsStartingWith(prefix, searchFields, "proxy", inputText), true);
ListModel subModel = ListModels.toListSubModel(model, Autocompleter.MAP_VALUE_CONTAINS_COMPARATOR, 10);
Combobox searchBox = (Combobox) event.getTarget();
searchBox.setModel(subModel);
searchBox.setItemRenderer(new ComboitemRenderer()
{
#Override
public void render( Comboitem item, Object data, int pos ) throws Exception
{
String publisherString = data.toString();
UID key = getUidFromPublisherString(publisherString);
int startIndex = publisherString.indexOf('=') + 1;
String publisher = publisherString.substring(startIndex);
item.setLabel(publisher);
item.setValue(key);
}
});
}
}
ZKLogic.findDocsStartingWith return map with UID-key and String-value.
With code above I achieved to get dropdown list when I switch to another window. I need to type something, then select another browser or notepad window - and comboitems will be displayed immediately.
So, my question still need answer, is there are any techniques to reproduce this windows switching in code? Or maybe I should do something with autocomplete, because I've got some ac working with preloaded lists, but this thing should return only 10 records from db, instead of all 70000 entries, every time when user type something in the field.
Edit 20/09/2013: Problem still exist. Rename question a bit, because thing that I need is to call render option by force in code. Is there is any way to do it? Code hasn't changed a lot, but print option in render method said, that method can miss two or more onChange events and suddenly render text for one variant.
Maybe you know another autocomplete options in zk framework where database participating? I'm ready to change implementation, if there is a guide with working implementation of it.
Ok I see two problems, you should solve first.
Setting the Renderer in every call of setupQuicksearchByEvent(...).
that is not logical, cos it is the same every time.
Add to the zul combobox tag something like
itemRenderer="#load(ivm.myRenderer)" ....
If you want just 10 items, do not let the db-request return more then 10.
If you use JPA klick here or for sql here or just google a bit.
After you fixed this two issues, we can exclude these as a reason of the unexpected behavior and fix it, if it is still present.
Edit
Ok, I have two possible ways to fix it.
Call Combobox#invalidate()
This schould force zk to rerender the Combobox, but could
lead to low performance and I would not prefer this.
Use Listbox with the select mold instead of Combobox.
To force the rerender, use Listbox#renderAll()
Try setting the selected item on your combobox or throw its related event
Solution is simple. Really. Nothing is better then brute-force, but I think I tried to avoid it and use it in despair.
#Command
public void setupQuicksearchByEvent(#BindingParam("searchlayout")Event event, #BindingParam("prefix") String prefix, #BindingParam("tags") String tags) throws WrongValueException, SearchException, IOException
{
if(event instanceof InputEvent)
{
InputEvent inputEvent = (InputEvent) event;
String inputText = inputEvent.getValue();
List<String> searchFields = Arrays.asList(tags.split(","));
Map<UID, String> publishers = ZKLogic.findDocsStartingWith(prefix, searchFields, "proxy", inputText);
Combobox searchBox = (Combobox) event.getTarget();
searchBox.getChildren().clear();
for (Map.Entry<UID, String > entry : publishers.entrySet())
{
Comboitem item = new Comboitem();
item.setLabel(entry.getValue());
item.setValue(entry.getKey());
searchBox.appendChild(item);
}
}
}

How do I completely disable row selection in a CellTable?

I want to completely view updates when a row is selected in a CellTable. How can this be done? In the following test case, using NoSelectionModel, the view is still updated: clicking on a row changes the background and border colors of the row until another row is clicked.
CellTable<String> table = new CellTable<String>();
TextColumn<String> column = new TextColumn<String>()
{
#Override
public String getValue(String string)
{
return string;
}
};
table.addColumn(column);
List<String> sampleData = Arrays.asList("foo", "bar", "baz");
table.setRowData(sampleData);
final NoSelectionModel<String> selectionModel = new NoSelectionModel<String>();
table.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
RootPanel.get().add(table);
I've also attempted to subclass SingleSelectionModel with empty override methods, without success.
I can fake the behavior I want by providing empty CSS stylings for selected rows, but that method seems hack-ish.
What you're seeing is the keyboard-selection highlighting (really useful when you're not using the mouse to interact with the table).
You can disable it using setKeyboardSelectionPolicy(KeyboardSelectionPolicy.DISABLED)

SwingX JXTable: use ColorHighlighter to color rows based on a "row object"

I'm using JXTable and I know how to do this based on DefaultRenderers for JTable, but I want to know how to do it in a way that's JXTable-friendly based on HighlighterPipeline.
I have a list of objects displayed in a table, and each row represents one object. I would like to color the rows displaying objects of a certain type a different color.
It looks like I should be using ColorHighlighter. But I can't find examples for this, other than the simple highlighters like "color every other row" or some such thing.
I need the row number since there's no such thing as a "row object" in the JTable/TableModel paradigm, but if I can do that, I can easily test a predicate and return true/false to tell the highlighter to kick in or not.
Can someone help me figure out the right direction to get this to work?
never mind, I figured it out. It was just hard to figure out the way to use ComponentAdapter propertly.
JXTable table = ...
final List<Item> itemList = ...
final HighlightPredicate myPredicate = new HighlightPredicate() {
#Override
public boolean isHighlighted(
Component renderer,
ComponentAdapter adapter) {
Item item = itemList.get(adapter.row);
return testItem(item);
}
public boolean testItem(Item item) { ... }
}
ColorHighlighter highlighter = new ColorHighlighter(
myPredicate,
Color.RED, // background color
null); // no change in foreground color
table.addHighlighter(highlighter);
