GWTP not displaying UI - gwt

I'm trying to use GWTP in my GWT 2.7 application but the UI in my uibinder is not displaying. My app compiles and runs in Super dev mode without any errors, but I get a blank screen. I expected the HTML in the LayoutView.ui.xml to show in the browser. I'm sure I'm missing something really basic. Any help would be great.
The following is included in my .gwt.xml file
<inherits name='com.google.gwt.inject.Inject' />
<!-- Other module inherits -->
<inherits name="com.google.gwt.uibinder.UiBinder" />
<inherits name='com.gwtplatform.mvp.Mvp' />

I generated the Layout presenter using the GWTP plugin.
I tried to follow the sample tutorials at
http://dev.arcbees.com/gwtp/sampletutorial/
and
https://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/wiki/GettingStarted#Getting_the_sample_applications
but some of it seems to be deprecated

You don't have a presenter with a ProxyPlace and the annotation #NameToken on it. To get your code working quickly, you can change LayoutPresenter.MyProxy to:
#ProxyStandard
#NameToken(NameTokens.LAYOUT)
interface MyProxy extends ProxyPlace<LayoutPresenter> {}
Also the Google Code documentation is actually outdated by a lot. There are warnings all over the place, so I thought this was obvious.
The documentation on https://dev.arcbees.com/gwtp/sampletutorial/ is recent enough to help you develop a working application. You can also have a look at GWTP's Basic Sample for more examples: https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP-Samples/tree/master/gwtp-samples/gwtp-sample-basic

Why am I not able to update my navigation bar (PermanentSlot)?

Short summary:
I try to update a navigation bar after a place change event. To do so I created a GWTP Test*.java that I try to render in a SLOT_NavBar. However, this is not working. In order to see if I did something wrong I just made itself render in my SLOT_AdminToolMainContent slot which is working perfectly fine. The question is why I can render TestView in one slot but not in the other. GWTP is not giving me any clues about what I'm doing wrong here and I can't find anything in the documention that would help me out here.
I'm sure the problem must be either a misunderstanding from my side or something really stupid that I'm doing but I just fail to see the reason why this is not working.
I'm having here a "root" presenter:
AdminToolPresenter.java
public class AdminToolPresenter extends Presenter<AdminToolPresenter.MyView, AdminToolPresenter.MyProxy> {
public interface MyView extends View {
}
#ProxyStandard
#NameToken(AdminNameTokens.adminTool)
#UseGatekeeper(AdminGatekeeper.class)
public interface MyProxy extends ProxyPlace<AdminToolPresenter> {
}
/** */
public static final PermanentSlot<MenuPresenter> SLOT_Menu = new PermanentSlot<>();
/** */
public static final NestedSlot SLOT_AdminToolMainContent = new NestedSlot();
/** */
private MenuPresenter menuPresenter;
#Inject
public AdminToolPresenter(EventBus eventBus, MyView view, MyProxy proxy, MenuPresenter menuPresenter) {
super(eventBus, view, proxy, RevealType.RootLayout);
this.menuPresenter = menuPresenter;
}
#Override
protected void onBind() {
this.setInSlot(SLOT_Menu, this.menuPresenter);
}
#Override
protected void onReveal() {
LOGGER.fine("AdminToolPresenter.onReveal()");
}
}
and its view:
AdminToolView.java
public class AdminToolView extends ViewImpl implements AdminToolPresenter.MyView {
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(AdminToolView.class.getName());
public interface Binder extends UiBinder<Widget, AdminToolView> {
}
#UiField HTMLPanel menuPanel;
#UiField SimplePanel adminMainContent;
#Inject
public AdminToolView(Binder uiBinder) {
this.initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
this.bindSlot(AdminToolPresenter.SLOT_Menu, this.menuPanel);
this.bindSlot(AdminToolPresenter.SLOT_AdminToolMainContent, this.adminMainContent);
}
}
Everything I'm doing with this is working just fine for example:
TestPresenter.java
public class TestPresenter extends Presenter<TestPresenter.MyView, TestPresenter.MyProxy> implements TestUiHandlers {
private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(TestPresenter.class.getName());
interface MyView extends View , HasUiHandlers<TestUiHandlers> {
}
#NameToken(AdminNameTokens.test)
#ProxyStandard
interface MyProxy extends ProxyPlace<TestPresenter> {
}
#Inject
TestPresenter(EventBus eventBus, MyView view, MyProxy proxy) {
// This is working just fine. The content gets displayed correctly in the SLOT_AdminToolMainContent slot
super(eventBus, view, proxy, AdminToolPresenter.SLOT_AdminToolMainContent);
this.getView().setUiHandlers(this);
}
#Override
public void prepareFromRequest(PlaceRequest request) {
LOGGER.severe("prepareFromRequest");
super.prepareFromRequest(request);
}
}
TestView.java
class TestView extends ViewWithUiHandlers<TestUiHandlers> implements TestPresenter.MyView {
interface Binder extends UiBinder<Widget, TestView> {
}
#UiField SimplePanel main;
#Inject TestView(Binder uiBinder) {
this.initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
}
No problem at all! However, if I try to bind this to another slot:
The issue
#Inject
TestPresenter(EventBus eventBus, MyView view, MyProxy proxy) {
// MenuPresenter.SLOT_NavBar instead of AdminToolPresenter.SLOT_AdminToolMainContent
super(eventBus, view, proxy, MenuPresenter.SLOT_NavBar);
this.getView().setUiHandlers(this);
}
Then it's simply doing nothing! I only changed the slot - so why is this not working? Here is the MenuPresenter and related code:
MenuPresenter.java
public class MenuPresenter extends PresenterWidget<MenuPresenter.MyView> implements MenuUiHandlers {
private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(MenuPresenter.class.getName());
interface MyView extends View, HasUiHandlers<MenuUiHandlers> {
}
/** Slot for the navigation bar. */
public static final NestedSlot SLOT_NavBar = new NestedSlot();
#Inject
MenuPresenter(EventBus eventBus, MyView view) {
super(eventBus, view);
this.getView().setUiHandlers(this);
}
#Override
protected void onReveal() {
LOGGER.severe("onReveal()");
}
}
MenuView.java
class MenuView extends ViewWithUiHandlers<MenuUiHandlers> implements MenuPresenter.MyView {
interface Binder extends UiBinder<Widget, MenuView> {
}
#UiField HTMLPanel navBarPanel;
#UiField MaterialSideNav sideNav;
private PlaceManager placeManager;
#Inject MenuView(Binder uiBinder, PlaceManager placeManager) {
this.initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
this.bindSlot(MenuPresenter.SLOT_NavBar, this.navBarPanel);
this.placeManager = placeManager;
}
}

Please explain to me why this is not working - it is driving me nuts. I'm not getting anything from GWTP like "dude, you're trying to do something strange here". No warning, error or info. Just nothing and I don't see what I do wrong here!
To give you an idea how this looks like: The blue bar is the <g:SimplePanel ui:field="navBarPanel"/> which you see in MenuView:
Did You tried to replace PernamentSlot with SingleSlot? I am not sure that you can update PernamentSlot.
Did You tried to replace PresenterWidget with Presenter in class extension in MenuPresenter class?
MenuView is widget, no place, So it seems that You did not add this view anywhere, so it simply doesn't display it self. Try to put some static content to this view and see is it even reveal itself.
Try in main view add in constructor widget.add(new MenuView());. where widget is initialized(using java or uibinder) view element.
To display regular Presenter (which is a place)You have to have a url for it (f.e.: localhost:8080/myApp | localhost:8080/myApp#MenuPresenter).
To display PresenterWidget You have to call it somewhere!
According to documentation here:
NestedSlot: Same as SingleSlot, but can only take Presenters that have
Proxies (no PresenterWidget).
and You try to put there a PresenterWidget- WHICH IS WRONG, try to:
replace NestedSlot with Slot or SingleSlot(accepts PresenterWidget),
or change MenuPresenter to extend regular Presenter instead of PresenterWidget.
Try do this and give me feedback.
You should try to clean and install Your whole application and restart SuperDevMode and Your server.
I've recreate described functionality. It works. I've base on this article

GWT ViewWithUiHandlers with DialogBox Uibinder

I have been extending all my Views with ViewWithUiHandlers. So, from the View to invoke a presenter method I call
getUiHandlers().OnUserSelect();
How do i get the getUiHandlers() when one of view has to extend DialogBox, as a class can't have multiple extends.
Look at PopupViewWithUiHandler
Here's an example of a basic popup. First, you'll have to create a PresenterWidget associated to your PopupViewWithUiHandler:
public class MyPopupPresenter extends PresenterWidget<MyPopupPresenter.MyView>
implements MyPopupUiHandlers {
public interface MyView extends PopupView, HasUiHandlers<MyPopupUiHandlers> {
}
#Inject
public MyPopupPresenter(EventBus eventBus,
MyView view) {
super(eventBus, view);
getView().setUiHandlers(this);
}
}
Here's your PopupViewWithUiHandlers:
public class MyPopupView extends PopupViewWithUiHandlers<MyPopupUiHandlers>
implements MyPopupPresenter.MyView, {
public interface Binder extends UiBinder<PopupPanel, MyPopupView> {
}
#Inject
public MyPopupView(Binder binder,
EventBus eventBus) {
super(eventBus);
initWidget(binder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
}
And here's the UiBinder associated to your PopupViewWithUiHandlers. Notice the <g:PopupPanel>:
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'>
<g:PopupPanel>
<g:HTMLPanel>
...
</g:HTMLPanel>
</g:PopupPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
And, you can show the popup by calling addToPopupSlot(myPopupPresenter) in the parent Presenter:
public class MyPresenter extends Presenter<MyPresenter.MyView, MyPresenter.MyProxy> implements MyUiHandlers {
public interface MyView extends View, HasUiHandlers<MyUiHandlers> {
}
#ProxyStandard
#NameToken(NameTokens.myNameToken)
public interface MyProxy extends ProxyPlace<MyPresenter> {
}
private final MyPopupPresenter myPopupPresenter;
#Inject
public MyPresenter(EventBus eventBus,
MyView view,
MyProxy proxy,
MyPopupPresenter myPopupPresenter) {
super(eventBus, view, proxy, ApplicationPresenter.MainContentSlot);
this.myPopupPresenter = myPopupPresenter;
getView().setUiHandlers(this);
}
private void showPopup() {
addToPopupSlot(myPopupPresenter); // this will show your popup
}
}

GWT Resizable Composite

I'm trying a simple experiment with ResizableComposite by logging width & height of the widget, but I'm not getting any response.
ResizableFlowPanel
public class ResizableFlowPanel extends FlowPanel implements RequiresResize, ProvidesResize {
public ResizableFlowPanel() {
super();
}
#Override
public void onResize() {
GWT.log(this.getOffsetHeight() +","+this.getOffsetWidth());
}
}
AppBody.java
public class AppBody extends ResizeComposite implements RequiresResize,
ProvidesResize {
private static AppBodyUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(AppBodyUiBinder.class);
public AppBody() {
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
#Override
public void onResize() {
GWT.log(this.getOffsetHeight() + "," + this.getOffsetWidth());
super.onResize();
}
interface AppBodyUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, AppBody> {
}
}
AppBody.ui.xml
<ui:UiBinder ...>
<e:ResizableFlowPanel styleName="{bundle.appBodyStyle.app_body}">
</e:ResizableFlowPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
When I resize the browser, I'm not getting any log messages.

Gwt-query doesn't work for my MVP.

I dived to the gwt world a few monthes ago and now am trying to use the gwt-query library.
I followed this tutorial: http://code.google.com/p/gwtquery/wiki/GettingStarted
Because I am working in Modle-View-Presenter, I tried implementing the above tutorial in my View (that is bound to the ..View.ui.xml), But it dosent seems to work.
I tried creating a lable, and then run the code:
List allGwtLabels = $(".gwt-Label").widgets();
but it selects nothing!
I think I have to point somehow where I want the qwtQuery to search for the widgets (point to my specific ui.xml file)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance. Below is my code of my Presenter + View + xml that dosent work:
//================================Presenter=================================:
public class QueryPresenter extends
Presenter<QueryPresenter.MyView, QueryPresenter.MyProxy> {
public interface MyView extends View {
}

}
#Inject
public QueryPresenter(final EventBus eventBus, final MyView view,
final MyProxy proxy) {
super(eventBus, view, proxy);
}
#Override
protected void revealInParent() {
RevealRootContentEvent.fire(this, this);
}
#Override
protected void onBind() {
super.onBind();
}
}
//====================================View============================================:
public class QueryView extends ViewImpl implements QueryPresenter.MyView {
private final Widget widget;
public interface Binder extends UiBinder<Widget, QueryView> {
}
#Inject
public QueryView(final Binder binder) {
widget = binder.createAndBindUi(this);
List<Widget> allGwtLabels = $(".gwt-Label").widgets(); //Doesn't Work!!
//Also doesn't work!!
Label label = new Label("Click on me and I will disappear");
$(label).click(new Function() {
#Override
public void f(Widget w) {
//fade out the label
$(w).fadeOut(1000);
}
});
_html.add(label);
//retrieve all attached gwt labels
}
#Override
public Widget asWidget() {
return widget;
}
#UiField Label _label;
#UiField HTMLPanel _html;
}
//==================xml file===============================

You have to specify the container of your elements as the elements are not attached to the dom when you try to query them.

Spring ROO GWT with GIN injection on widgets created by ui:binder

I'm trying to access some objects inside a ui:binder component, but not sure of how to access the eventBus, requestFactory, etc without writing nasty code that will keep me awake at night (also take note that I'm completely new to JAVA, background is in Perl/Python/PHP).
My ui.xml file:
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'
xmlns:ig='urn:import:com.ig.client.scaffold.ui.widget'>
<ui:style>
...
</ui:style>
<g:HorizontalPanel>
...
</g:HorizontalPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
Injecting the eventBus this way fails with
com.ig.client.scaffold.ui.widget.R has no default (zero args) constructor.
public class R extends Composite {
interface MyUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, R> {}
private static MyUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(MyUiBinder.class);
private final EventBus eventBus;
#UiField SimplePanel fieldA, ...;
#Inject
public R(EventBus eventBus){
this.eventBus = eventBus;
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
}
So, as per the error message, I create a UIFactory and then I get an error
... '{style.entityComponent}'> missing required attribute(s): eventBus Element ... (seems like it is trying to find the eventBus in the ui:binder stylesheet.
public class R extends Composite {
interface MyUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, R> {}
private static MyUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(MyUiBinder.class);
private final EventBus eventBus;
#UiField SimplePanel fieldA, ...;
public #UiConstructor R(EventBus eventBus){
this.eventBus = eventBus;
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
#Inject
#UiFactory R makeR(){
return new R(eventBus);
}
}
From reading and reading and more reading for the past couple of days, I haven't seen anyone accessing the eventBus, requestFactory and historyController directly in the view binding to the ui:binder widget which led to the conclusion that it's probably not a best practice
anyway.
Let's say I have an oject, let's call it Proxy, proxy contains handleButtonClick which then calls eventBus.doSomething(). How do I link this Proxy object to the ui:binder widget without having to instantiate it or without having to pass it around to every widget?
Is it possible to do GIN injection on an interface and then implement that interface via class R which will then somehow contain the objects I'm looking for?
Any solution that work is welcome, just looking for a sample (that a Java n00b can understand) that will basically allow me to connect my front-end with the rest of the services created by ROO.
Thanks

Check out the Model, View, Presenter pattern - it solves
this problem. Generally all non-display logic should be kept out
of your views so that 1) the non-display logic can be unit tested without
running inside a (slow to instantiate) browser and 2) different
displays can be plugged into the same application without duplicating
the non-display logic.
Here's an MVP example exhibiting the
behavior you're looking for (note that the style is slightly
different than the Activities & Places implementation).
MyPresenter.java:
public class MyPresenter {
public interface Display extends IsWidget {
void setButtonClickHandler(ClickHandler buttonClickHandler);
}
private final Display display;
private final EventBus eventBus;
#Inject
public MyPresenter(EventBus eventBus,
Display display)
{
this.display = display;
this.eventBus = eventBus;
bind();
}
private void bind() {
display.setButtonClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
#Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
eventBus.fireEvent(new MyButtonClickedEvent());
}
});
}
public void go(HasWidgets container) {
container.add(display.asWidget());
}
}
MyView.ui.xml:
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'
xmlns:ig='urn:import:com.ig.client.scaffold.ui.widget'>
<g:Button ui:field="myButton"/>
</ui:UiBinder>
MyView.java
public class MyView extends Composite implements MyPresenter.Display {
interface MyViewUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, MyView> {}
private static MyViewUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.Create(MyViewUiBinder.class);
private ClickHandler buttonClickHandler = null;
public MyView() {
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
#UiHandler("myButton")
void onButtonClick(ClickEvent event) {
if (buttonClickHandler != null) {
buttonClickHandler.onClick(event);
}
}
#Override
public void setButtonClickHandler(ClickHandler buttonClickHandler) {
this.buttonClickHandler = buttonClickHandler;
}
}
And in your GIN module: bind(MyPresenter.Display.class).to(MyView.class);
