Comment by kshep92: I may be a Johnny-come-lately when it come to GWT but coming from a Flex background, I REALLY would like to see Google put more into this UiBinding thing. Laying out a UI in Flex is so easy and it's the only thing that stopping me from coming over to GWT. I used toe UiBinder once or twice and it was easy enough to understand, but hard to get a good flow going. Having full content assist for all the attributes of a control that could be set (other than ui:field) would be great. Also, having the @UiField generated automatically in the .java file would be a nice touch. Looking at how Flex came from just an SDK to an Eclipse plugin to having an IDE based on developing Flex apps, i'd say that if Google did the same they'd get a lot more hesitant people (like me) on board quicker. Note to Google: No shame in following by example if somebody else did it right. I'm really excited about starting to use GWT for all my future web app development.

Comment by t.broyer: eric.sadou: AFAIK, the DialogBox use case has been fixed so you no longer need dygger's workaround (HasWidgetsDialogBox) The @UiFactory tells UiBinder how to instantiate a widget (DialogBox in this case), and dygger made it return 'this' because the owner class is already a DialogBox instance. Without the @UiFactory, UiBinder would instantiate a new DialogBox or use a @UiField(provided=true) field.

Comment by eric.sadou: Thanks a lot for a so quick answer. My App is ok now. I found other example on internet. My PersonalDialogBox is now composite extending (as usual example in GWT doc) and i created a normal ui.xml file. My Ui Binder is UiBinderWidget,PersonalDialogBox now. In fact, My initial trouble was to use initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this)); in my constructor ...as i follow doc on GWT website. But actually i need to remove the initWidget(...) method and just write uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this); If somebody could explain when should we have to use it / or not it will be greatful. Anyway i post this solution as maybe it could help. For more information: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/UiBinder -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors

@johan.rydberg, generics support is anemic, trying only not to break
things. You can't specify generics in your ui.xml file, and you'll need to
instantiate your TableRowType in your owner class.
I'm pretty sure this should work (making some presumptions about your typed
Table class):
{{{
my:Table ui:field='rowTypeTable' /
}}}
{{{
@UiField(provided = true)
final TableRowType rowTypeTable = new TableRowType() {}
}}}

Hi all,
About that Hello World example, I want to know how to get the Hello World
example running in GWT. Do I create a separated xml file
(HelloWorld.ui.xml) or should I need to put it in the original xml file?
Also do I need to make a different class for the Hello World java code or
do I need to put the code in the entry point class?
public class HelloWorld extends UIObject { // Could extend Widget instead
interface MyUiBinder extends UiBinderDivElement, HelloWorld {}
private static MyUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(MyUiBinder.class);
...
I already have installed the latest Gallileo Eclipse 3.5 and gwt-2.0.0-rc2.
Please give me an explanation.
Thank you in advance.

Comment by vincent.case: I found these UiBinder use cases very helpful in understanding the APIs. However, I am unable to determine if UIBinder addresses the gwt 1.7 issues I have with formatting my app layout using CSS. Specifically, * HTML generated by gwt layout widgets is not transparent/explicit, obscuring the application/intrepretation of css to the layout * HTML generated by gwt layout widgets is table based, foregoing the possiblity of many css layout techniques Is one of the intentions of UiBinder to facilitate the use of CSS for app Layout by: * Allowing definition of an explicit HTML structue in the UIBinder xml to which css can be applied * Allowing app structure to be defined without use of the table based gwt widgets Thanks for your feedback.

[gwt-contrib] Re: Comment on UiBinder in google-web-toolkit
Comment by j...@google.com: @vincent.case: It's not clear precisely what you're referring to when you reference the gwt layout widgets. Are you referring to the new *LayoutPanel structures or the existing panels such as DockPanel, Horizontal/VerticalPanel and such? The existing panels derived from CellPanel are all based on tables, which we know to be problematic under some circumstances. The newer *LayoutPanel classes do not use tables, are much more predictable in their behavior, and fully support standards-mode doctypes, unlike the older table-based panels. If you want to use common CSS layout techniques involving tricks like float:left, explicit large margins, and so forth, there's nothing stopping you from using regular widgets in FlowPanels and HTMLPanels and applying whatever CSS trickery you like. UiBinder actually makes this much easier by making it simple to use HTMLPanel and mix arbitrary HTML and widgets.

The image's resource attribute references {res.logoImage} rather than
{res.widgetyImage} - what the image is called in the Resources clientbundle
The nameSpan is identified using ui:field=userNameField, which does not
match the field name in the LogoNamePanel class, where it is called
nameSpan.

[gwt-contrib] Re: Comment on UiBinder in google-web-toolkit
Comment by rj...@google.com:
@OsorioJaques, we're still stumbling toward just how to use UiBinder
effectively in a themed app. The last example, Apply Different XML
Templates... is a hint of how it might be done, though its a bit over
complex.
I expect we'll wind up with widgets that have default UiBinder instances as
final static fields, GWT.created to allow substitutions; and which accept
binder instances as constructor arguments to use instead. Something like:
{{{
class MyWidget {
public interface Binder extends BinderWidget, MyWidget{}
private static final DEFAULT_BINDER = GWT.create(Binder.class);
MyWidget() {
this(DEFAULT_BINDER);
}
MyWidget(Binder binder) {
...
}
}
}}}
The ugly bit here is that it would effectively require the themed Widget's
bound fields to be public and non-final, so we'll probably have to teach
UiBinder some new tricks to make it more palatable.

[gwt-contrib] Re: Comment on UiBinder in google-web-toolkit
Comment by gkbees:
Hello all.
I have a question concerning how to access/modify the size of a
DockLayoutPanel's widget outside of the *.ui.xml file in the java code.
For instance, say I have a DockLayoutPanel with a West widget and a Center
widget as follows:
{{{
g:DockLayoutPanel unit='EM'
g:west size='20'
layouts:WestWidget ui:field='westWidget' /
/g:west
g:center
layouts:CenterWidget ui:field='centerWidget' /
/g:center
/g:DockLayoutPanel
}}}
Is it possible to dynamically change the width of the westWidget somewhere
in the associated java code, or can it only by modified in the *.ui.xml
file.
The problem is, I would like to be able to hide/show the westWidget and
have the centerWidget fill the remaining space dynamically when the app is
running,
but changing the width of westWidget in the java code has no effect on the
width of the West Pane of the DockLayoutPanel that was hard-coded in, there
is a disconnect between them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
George.

There is no WYSIWYG editor that I know of. Because UIBinder is so new (it's only been in the public source control for about two months), I wouldn't expect to see such an editor for several months at a minimum. If you see one it's likely to come from the guys who make MyEclipse (google it).

[gwt-contrib] Re: Comment on UiBinder in google-web-toolkit
Please allow me to respectfully disagree. The notion that this is going to
lead to awkward language constructs being bolted onto XML derives from the
fallacious belief that this system is meant to behave like a template
system, a la JSP. It's not -- it's really just a way to build widget/html
constructs in XML in a way that is much simpler than doing the equivalent
than Java.
This is particularly important if speed is an important goal (it is). In no
browser will it ever be faster to create a widget (or any similar
abstraction) than an HTML element, especially if we know about a collection
of them at once (read: innerHTML). And the difference is significant,
sometimes by a large factor. On top of this, it is often *simpler* to
express certain constructs in simple HTML (perhaps even copied and pasted
from elsewhere) than the equivalent widget construct would have been. All
told, there are a lot of advantages to using a mixture of HTML (where
appropriate) and widgets, and a major goal of UiBinder is to enable this
use-case.
Now don't get me wrong -- I truly hate XML. I think it's a bloated mess that
starts with the goal of being human-readable and reasonably simple, and
fails on both counts. But when you're working with the browser and HTML,
it's the only game in town.
