smartgwt ListGridRecord programmatically editing issue - gwt

Question

I am using smartgwt and I have a ListGrid in which I have some populated values in ListGridRecord. now if I am setting any listGridRecord Field value programmatically through setAttribute(String fieldName, String value) and refreshing the field through ListGridRecord.refreshFields(), then values get reflected to the UI. but the problem is if i am editing that same ListGridRecord by double click. then the value get lost or removed from the UI.
class FieldRecord extends ListGridRecord{
private int id;
private String name;
public void setID(Long id) {
setAttribute(Constant.ID, id);
}
public void setName(String name) {
setAttribute(Constant.NAME, name);
}
public Long getID() {
return getAttribute(Constant.ID);
}
public String getName() {
return getAttribute(Constant.NAME);
}
}
class testData {
FieldDataSource fieldDS = new FieldDataSource();
FieldRecord fieldRec = new FieldRecord();
//set some default value of record.
fieldDS.addData(fieldRec);
FieldGrid fieldGrid = new FieldGrid();
fieldGrid.setDataSource(fieldDS);
public void parseValue(){
// on some condition
fieldRec.setAttribute(Constant.NAME, "high");
// programmaticaly set record value and that value is removed when i double click on
that record.
}
}

I hope the FieldGrid is a ListGrid.
You shoud use setFields to attach ListGridRecord to ListGrid
fieldGrid.setFields(fieldRec);
Try setting the ListGrid/FieldGrid's autoSaveEdits to false.
fieldGrid.autoSaveEdits(false);
Setting autoSaveEdits false creates a "mass update" / "mass delete" interaction where edits will be retained for all edited cells (across rows if appropriate) until ListGrid.saveEdits is called to save a particular row, or ListGrid.saveAllEdits is called to save all changes in a batch.
Update
Use addRowEditorExitHandler for ListGrid and explicitly set the new values like below
addRowEditorExitHandler(new RowEditorExitHandler() {
#Override
public void onRowEditorExit(final RowEditorExitEvent event) {
if (event.getRecord() != null) {
Record gridRecord = event.getRecord();
//This will be an update operations
}
else {
gridRecord = new Record();
//This will be a new record creation
}
if (FieldGrid.this.validateRow(event.getRowNum())) {
for (Object attribute : event.getNewValues().keySet()) {
//Here you will be able to see all the newly edited values
gridRecord.setAttribute(String.valueOf(attribute), event.getNewValues().get(attribute));
}
//Finally you will have a record with all unsaved values.Send it to server
addData(gridRecord);
}
}
});
