Setting ListGrid selection in SmartGWT - gwt

I'm trying to set the selected records of a ListGrid table object in SmartGWT, but I can't find any way of doing it. I know there's a getSelectedRecords() function, but no matching setSelectedRecords(). I tried to see if set/getSelectedState() would work, but GWT complains about needing a primary key and a DataSource object. Is there any way to set the selection of a ListGrid?

For this you can use one of the selectRecords() methods, like so:
public void onModuleLoad()
{
VLayout main = new VLayout();
final ListGrid grid = new ListGrid();
grid.setHeight(500);
grid.setWidth(400);
grid.setFields(new ListGridField("name", "Name"));
grid.setData(createRecords());
final IButton button = new IButton("Select some");
button.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
public void onClick(ClickEvent event)
{
grid.selectRecords(new int[]{2, 3}); //This will select index 2 and 3
}
});
main.addMember(grid);
main.addMember(button);
RootPanel.get().add(main);
}
private ListGridRecord[] createRecords()
{
return new ListGridRecord[]{
createRecord("monkey"),
createRecord("banana"),
createRecord("orange"),
createRecord("sun")
};
}
private ListGridRecord createRecord(String name)
{
ListGridRecord record = new ListGridRecord();
record.setAttribute("name", name);
return record;
}

Unable to get GWT ListDataProvider to work with DataGrid

I had my data in a FlexTable, but am migrating to a DataGrid so I can easily add pagination. I get the data via a REST call. I can't seem to get the data to actually display. Here are the relevant snippets:
private DataGrid<SearchResult> resultsGrid = new DataGrid<SearchResult>();
resultsGrid.setAutoHeaderRefreshDisabled(true);
TextColumn<SearchResult> titleColumn = new TextColumn<SearchResult>() {
#Override
public String getValue(SearchResult object) {
return object.getTitle();
}
};
resultsGrid.addColumn(titleColumn, "Document Title");
ButtonCell buttonCell = new ButtonCell();
Column<SearchResult, String> buttonColumn = new Column<SearchResult, String>(buttonCell){
#Override
public String getValue(SearchResult object) {
return "Show";
}
};
resultsGrid.addColumn(buttonColumn, "");
buttonColumn.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<SearchResult, String>() {
public void update(int index, SearchResult object, String value) {
doPreview(object.title);
}
});
TextColumn<SearchResult> roleColumn = new TextColumn<SearchResult>() {
#Override
public String getValue(SearchResult object) {
return object.getRoles();
}
#Override
public String getCellStyleNames(Context context, SearchResult object) {
if (object.containsCurrentRole)
return "highlight";
else
return null;
}
};
resultsGrid.addColumn(roleColumn, "Associated Roles");
final SingleSelectionModel<SearchResult> selectionModel = new SingleSelectionModel<SearchResult>();
resultsGrid.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
selectionModel.addSelectionChangeHandler(new SelectionChangeEvent.Handler() {
public void onSelectionChange(SelectionChangeEvent event) {
SearchResult selected = selectionModel.getSelectedObject();
if (selected != null) {
clearWordCloud();
getWordCloud(selected.getTitle());
}
}
});
dataProvider.addDataDisplay(resultsGrid);
// Create a Pager to control the table.
SimplePager.Resources pagerResources = GWT.create(SimplePager.Resources.class);
pager = new SimplePager(TextLocation.CENTER, pagerResources, false, 0, true);
pager.setDisplay(resultsGrid);
resultsGrid.setVisible(true);
resultsGrid.addStyleName("results");
mainPanel.add(resultsGrid);
...
The function that gets called after a search:
private void updateTable(List<SearchResult> results) {
dataProvider.getList().addAll(results);
dataProvider.refresh();
dataProvider.flush();
resultsGrid.setVisible(true);
resultsFlexTable.setVisible(true);
}
At first I was missing the flush and refresh, but adding them had no effect. I'm kind of stumped.
The most likely problem is that your DataGrid has a height of zero. DataGrid implements RequiresResize, which means that its height either has to be set explicitly, or it will acquire its height from a parent widget if this parent widget implements ProvidesResize. FlexTable does not implement ProvidesResize interface.
NB: You don't need flush and refresh - adding data to the DataProvider refreshes the grid.

GWT CellTable SelectionModel can not deselect item after editing

Hello I have a Contact class with informations which i show in a CellTable.
The CellTable has a DataListProvider, MultiSelectionModel and KeyProvider
which checks the id of the Contact.
DataListProvider and CellTable have the same KeyProvider.
if i only select/deselect the items in the CellTable and show them in a TextBox ists working fine. But the when i change the value of the Contact item in the TextBox(Contact instance) and try to deselect the item the selectionmodel says its still selected?
I tried with clear() but its still selected!
GWT 2.5 / FireFox
ProvidesKey<Contact> keyProvider = new ProvidesKey<Contact>(){
#Override
public Object getKey(Contact item) {
return item.getIdContact();
}
};
public MyCellTable(boolean canLoad, Integer pagesize, ProvidesKey<T> keyProvider) {
super(-1, resource, keyProvider);
selectionModel = new MultiSelectionModel<T>();
selectionModel .addSelectionChangeHandler(new SelectionChangeEvent.Handler() {
#Override
public void onSelectionChange(SelectionChangeEvent event) {
selectionChange();
}
});
dataProvider = new ListDataProvider<T>(keyProvider);
dataProvider.addDataDisplay(this);
}
in the selection event i call
protected void selectionChange(){
Contact c = grid.getGrid().getSelectedItem();
if(c != null){
cpForm.enable();
cpForm.clear();
form.bind(c); // Formular which updates the selected instance
cpForm.add(form);
}else{
cpForm.disable(noseletionText);
}
}
i have no ValueUpdater
when i select an item i generate a formular and if i change something i call:
#Override
public void save() {
super.save();
ContactServiceStore.get().updateContact(manager.getBean(),
new MyAsyncCallback<Void>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Void result) {
onchange();
}
});
}
i if call the method without changes on the contact its still working and i can deselect but when i change the name or something else i cant select other items or deselect the current item!
You're not actually using your ProvidesKeys in your MultiSelectionModel. You need to create your MultiSelectionModel like so:
MultiSelectionModel<T> selectionModel = new MultiSelectionModel<T>(keyProvider);
If you don't supply the MultiSelectionModel with a ProvidesKey it will use the actual object as a key.
Make sure you also add the MultiSelectionModel to the table:
cellTable.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
The reason selectionModel.clear() wasn't working was because selectionModel was not set to the table.

Gwt Simple pager issues with a column sort handler

I have set up an AsyncDataProvider for my CellTable and added it to a SimplePager. I have hooked up a ListHandler to take care of sorting based on a column.
When I click the header of that column, the data doesn't change but on going to the next/previous page within the pager the data is then sorted. Also before the column is clicked there is no visual indicator on the column that would indicate that it is meant to be sortable.
How can I get the data to update when I click the header of the Column?
Here's my code snippet
service.getHosts(environment, new AsyncCallback<Set<String>>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(final Set<String> hosts) {
final List<String> hostList = new ArrayList<String>(hosts);
//Populate the table
CellTable<String> hostTable = new CellTable<String>();
TextColumn<String> hostNameColumn = new TextColumn<String>(){
#Override
public String getValue(String string){
return string;
}
};
NumberCell numberCell = new NumberCell();
Column<String, Number> lengthColumn = new Column<String, Number>(numberCell){
#Override
public Number getValue(String string) {
return new Integer(string.length());
}
};
AsyncDataProvider<String> dataProvider = new AsyncDataProvider<String>() {
#Override
protected void onRangeChanged(HasData<String> data) {
int start = data.getVisibleRange().getStart();
int end = start + data.getVisibleRange().getLength();
List<String> subList = hostList.subList(start, end);
updateRowData(start, subList);
}
};
// Hooking up sorting
ListHandler<String> columnSortHandler = new ListHandler<String>(hostList);
columnSortHandler.setComparator(lengthColumn, new Comparator<String>(){
#Override
public int compare(String arg0, String arg1) {
return new Integer(arg0.length()).compareTo(arg1.length());
}
});
hostTable.setPageSize(10);
hostTable.addColumnSortHandler(columnSortHandler);
hostTable.addColumn(hostNameColumn,"Host Name");
lengthColumn.setSortable(true);
hostTable.addColumn(lengthColumn, "Length");
VerticalPanel verticalPanel = new VerticalPanel();
SimplePager pager = new SimplePager();
pager.setDisplay(hostTable);
dataProvider.addDataDisplay(hostTable);
dataProvider.updateRowCount(hosts.size(), true);
verticalPanel.add(hostTable);
verticalPanel.add(pager);
RootPanel.get().add(verticalPanel);
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable throwable) {
Window.alert(throwable.getMessage());
}
});
I'm not sure how to make sure that the list is shared by both the table and the Pager. Before adding the pager I was using
ListDataProvider<String> dataProvider = new ListDataProvider<String>();
ListHandler<String> columnSortHandler = new ListHandler<String>(dataProvider.getList());
The AsyncDataProvider doesn't have the method getList.
To summarize I want the data to be sorted as soon as the column is clicked and not after I move forward/backward with the pager controls.
As per the suggestion I have changed the code for the AsyncDataProvider to
AsyncDataProvider<String> dataProvider = new AsyncDataProvider<String>() {
#Override
protected void onRangeChanged(HasData<String> data) {
int start = data.getVisibleRange().getStart();
int end = start + data.getVisibleRange().getLength();
List<String> subList = hostList.subList(start, end);
// Hooking up sorting
ListHandler<String> columnSortHandler = new ListHandler<String>(hostList);
hostTable.addColumnSortHandler(columnSortHandler);
columnSortHandler.setComparator(lengthColumn, new Comparator<String>(){
#Override
public int compare(String v0, String v1) {
return new Integer(v0.length).compareTo(v1.length);
}
});
updateRowData(start, subList);
}
};
But there is no change in the behavior even after that. Can someone please explain the process. The GWT showcase app seems to have this functionality but how they've done it isn't all that clear.
When using an AsyncDataProvider both pagination and sorting are meant to be done on the server side. You will need an AsyncHandler to go with your AsyncDataProvider:
AsyncHandler columnSortHandler = new AsyncHandler(dataGrid) {
#Override
public void onColumnSort(ColumnSortEvent event) {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
int sortIndex = dataGrid.getColumnIndex((Column<Entry, ?>) event.getColumn());
boolean isAscending = event.isSortAscending();
service.getPage(0, sortIndex, isAscending, new AsyncCallback<List<Entry>>() {
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
}
public void onSuccess(List<Entry> result) {
pager.setPage(0);
provider.updateRowData(0, result);
}
});
}
};
dataGrid.addColumnSortHandler(columnSortHandler);
Clicking on a column header will then fire a columnSortEvent. Then you have to get the column clicked. I am overloading my servlet to provide both sorting and pagination, so I pass a -1 for the column index when only pagination is desired.
provider = new AsyncDataProvider<Entry>() {
#Override
protected void onRangeChanged(HasData<Entry> display) {
final int start = display.getVisibleRange().getStart();
service.getPage(start, -1, true, new AsyncCallback<List<Entry>>() {
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
}
#Override
public void onSuccess(List<Entry> result) {
provider.updateRowData(start, result);
}
});
}
};
provider.addDataDisplay(dataGrid);
provider.updateRowCount(0, true);
Then your servlet implementation of getPage performs the sorting and pagination. The whole thing is much easier to follow with separate event handlers.
I think the problem is with the ListHandler initialization. You are passing hostList as a parameter to List Handler and in onRangeChange method you are calling updateRowData with a different list (sublist).
Make sure you use the same list in both the places.
or
Move your ListHander initialization and cellTable.addColumnSortHandler method call to onRangeChange method after updateRowData call.

Smartgwt Drop from listgrid to treegrid

I'm trying to get the event when the user left a record from a listgrid on a treenode in treegrid.
I was trying with
ListGrid messagesGrid = new ListGrid();
messagesGrid.setCanDrag(true);
TreeGrid shortcutsTreeGrid = new TreeGrid();
shortcutsTreeGrid.setCanAcceptDrop(true);
shortcutsTreeGrid.setCanAcceptDroppedRecords(true);
shortcutsTreeGrid.addDropHandler(new DropHandler() {
#Override
public void onDrop(DropEvent dropEvent) {
SC.say("drop event is called"); // I want to catch this event
}
});
Please any idea?
You have to use addFolderDropHandler() when dropping onto a TreeGrid.
For example
treeGrid.addFolderDropHandler(new FolderDropHandler() {
#Override
public void onFolderDrop(FolderDropEvent folderDropEvent) {
SC.say("folder dropped");
}
}

Setting ListGrid selection in SmartGWT with method "selectRecords(Record record)"

I'm trying to set the selected records of a ListGrid table object in SmartGWT using records, but I can't find any way of doing it. I want to select with record, not index. I want to use selectRecord(Record record) method.
As an example;
public void onModuleLoad()
{
VLayout main = new VLayout();
final ListGrid grid = new ListGrid();
grid.setHeight(500);
grid.setWidth(400);
grid.setFields(new ListGridField("name", "Name"));
grid.setData(createRecords());
final IButton button = new IButton("Select some");
button.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
public void onClick(ClickEvent event)
{
grid.selectRecord(createRecord("orange"));
}
});
main.addMember(grid);
main.addMember(button);
RootPanel.get().add(main);
}
private ListGridRecord[] createRecords()
{
return new ListGridRecord[]{
createRecord("monkey"),
createRecord("banana"),
createRecord("orange"),
createRecord("sun")
};
}
private ListGridRecord createRecord(String name)
{
ListGridRecord record = new ListGridRecord();
record.setAttribute("name", name);
return record;
}
In this case I want to select orange, But this code select anything.
Is it posible? If possible how?
Thanks in advance.
Found this solution;
selectRecord(grid.getRecordList().find("name", "orange"));
There's a problem with your code:
When you write
grid.selectRecord(record);
it goes to search the same record instance that the grid has. If both instances of record are equal, only then & then it selects the record. Otherwise nothing happens as you're facing right now. Here what you need to do is:
ListGridRecord[] records = countryGrid.getRecords();
int i;
for (i = 0; i < records.length; i++)
{
if (records[i].getAttribute("name").equalsIgnoreCase("orange"))
{
break;
}
}
countryGrid.selectRecord(i);
