i've a shell implemented in sap.ui.view (sapui5) desktop top application view. now i've a requirement to add a footer to the view. there are ways to add footer for sap.ui.m but i dont see anyways to implement the same in views while shell being the default content. i've added another div after the default content, it stays behind the default ones but not at the bottom.
any pointers on how to implement the footer for ui5 desktop views while shell is the default view.
tnx in advance.
If you are talking about the ux3.Shell, that is a problem. It is designed as the top Element in an application. Short of using an iframe around it (which would be plain ugly), I suppose the only way is to put the footer inside the shell content.

I'm working on a form for an Access database I'm putting together. In the Design View I've gotten the area covered with grid to be the right size for the form. When I go to Form View though, there's a ton of empty space on the right & bottom. How do I remove that empty space?
Here's what the form looks like in Design View for context:
Answering Andre's questions:
Popup? Currently yes, but I'm not dead set on that. It's also Modal for what that's worth.
Maximized? No, when I go to Form view it's got at least a couple inches from where the grid space stops in my screenshot though.
Tabbed or Seperate? Not sure I follow. If you're meaning is the Form opened on a tab in the Access main pane or in a seperate window it's seperate.
If it's a separate window (popup or not-maximized), then setting the Form.AutoResize property to Yes should do it.
For some more info ("tabbed document windows" is an option for the current DB), see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34321906/3820271
I just started learning Google Web Toolkit (GWT). How do I implement header, left navigation bar and footer in my GWT application?
How can i place the header and footer in one page and reuse the same in all other pages?
Please help me how can i achieve the above requirement?
I like using SplitLayoutPanel. Here you will basically only change the center panel and leave northe west etc alone.
You can find a very good overview here.
You can create a template in Ui:Binder with your basic layout, and use this template for all new pages.
Another option is to create a custom widget for you menu, header and footer. Then you again can use a template for new pages, but instead of including each button, label, etc., you just include your custom headerWidget, footerWidget and menuWidget.
As others already suggested, you use one of the LayoutPanels to organize your page. My favorite is LayoutPanel. You add your headerWidget, footerWidget, and menuWidget to this LayoutPanel and specify their position.
I recommend that you use a Ui:Binder for this: it's a more convenient way to do layouts, it's very visual (helps to cut on the number of mistakes), and much easier to maintain.
Folks,
coming from the Java/Swing world, I am sometimes puzzled by the UI programming on the iPhone. I've spent the last hours with Googling for information but it seems that I asked the wrong questions by thinking too much in Java. Could you please point me to resources to get more familiar with the GUI concepts to be able to achive the following functionality:
Basically, I want to create a vertically scrollable view that represents structured text (for example, a recipe). Each step consists of a title and a textual description. As I want to fold and unfold such steps, the title would be somehow interactive and by clicking it the description would be displayed or hidden.
In Java, I would create a component that renders one such section. The layout manager would compute the components preferred height (with or without description being displayed).
Then, in Java, I would create a panel with a vertical layout manager and sequentially add my components. This panel would be placed in a scroll pane; the scroll pane would ask the panel to layout itself and then show a viewport on it, if for example the height is bigger than the scroll pane's height.
What Java provides me is:
layouting of elements (computing their preferred height and width), thus no need to deal with coordinates and dimensions
dynamic creation of UIs by creating and adding components during runtime
What I understood on the iPhone:
I can dynamically add views as subview to a view, e.g. a scrollview by calling addSubview
I can even remove that stuff using removeFromSubview (as explained here Clear content of UIScrollView)
What I don't understand on the iPhone:
does one view always correspond to a visible screen (I did use tab and navbar navigation so far and there whenever I set a new view, it fills the current visible screen minus the space needed for the two bars)?
or is it possible to define a view that contains a label on top ("north") and a text in center; if so, could such a view automatically determine its height?
can I realize my example in a similar way like in Java or would I need to calculate all dimensions and coordinates of the individual components on my own? (This example seems to touch on that topic: iPhone scrollView add elements dynamically with id)
Alternatively, could I use a WebView and render my stuff as local HTML using JavaScript to show or hide nodes?
Thanks for any hint or link!
There are no layout managers in Cocoa, views are being reposition according to their struts and springs settings. For information on that read the documentation: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/IB_UserGuide/Layout/Layout.html
To create a "view that contains a label on top and a text in center" you create a view with subviews - one being a label at the top, second the textview in center. If you configure struts/springs for all of subviews properly, they will autoresize when the container view is resized.
You should also get accustomed to Interface Builder, creating views in code is real pain in the ass.
I Am trying to create a Tab Panel where I can add and delete tabs on demand.
Where I am getting stuck is that if a potential user adds too many tabs the new tabs go off the screen.
Each Tab is to contain a text area widget where a user may enter text.
Is there any way of horizontally scrolling the just the TabBar and not the whole browser window?
I could use a scroll panel but I was hoping to scrol just the Tabs, not the panel contents.
I cannot see any available method in the com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.TabPanel API that will perform this function and no real way to split the panel.
Help!
It's not what you've asked for, but you might consider using a StackPanel instead of a TabPanel, since if the user can enter a long list of items it's generally better to have vertical scrolling instead of horizontal scrolling.
The gwt TabPanel isn't the greatest, and there's not a real easy way to do what you want. You could take a look at the tab widget in Ext-GWT, which scrolls the tabs, but I don't think extjs is generally a good idea.
There's a bunch of new layout-based widgets arriving with GWT 2.0. Look at TabLayoutPanel. It places tabs in a very wide container inside a div with overflow=hidden. You might be able to add some controls to scroll that container and get the effect you want.
Good luck, and report back if you get something working. GWT really needs more widget contributors.
I'm building a navigation controller based iPhone application and am curious how to go about building the detail view for my application. The part that's complicating my endeavor is: What UI elements/hierarchy should I employ to create a variable-height yet scrollable detail view?
A great example of my goal is an arrangement like the mobile App Store detail view. The horizontal divisions between the heading, description, screenshot, etc leads me to believe it's a table view in disguise, but that's just a guess.
Currently, I'm using a UIScrollView for my detail view, but since I can never be sure of the exact length of my incoming content, my description view ends up with either unused space or truncated text. Is there some set of elements that would be best suited for displaying this variable-height content in "blocky" format (like the example) while still maintaining overall view scroll-ability?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
If you want to be able to easily format complex content you can use a UIWebView. What I basically do is create an HTML template and add it as a resource. At run time I load the content of this HTML doc and do string replacement to add the content I want. Within the HTML I place placeholders like
<div><!-- ARTICLE_TITLE --></div>
I don't think the App Store detail view is a UITableView. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's a subclass of UIScrollView.
To determine the size of your content, you can use NSString's sizeWithFont method.
A little late, but still relevant: The App Store broke a few weeks ago, and the "Featured" tab of the App Store was very obviously HTML without CSS applied. So, it's actually a UIWebView, or web content displayed in some fashion.
The touch-down behaviors of the iTunes app, while appearing quite similar, behave differently, in a more native fashion. I'm not convinced this app is implemented in the same way.
