ui:with, style not showing up - gwt

I would like to share a CSS across multiple widgets using .
I can see that css class name are obfuscated but the class definition
is not showing up when I inspect the element in firefox / chrome.
Here're my codes. Can anyone suggest what am I missing? Thanks.
Style.css
.nameSpan { color: #3E6D8E; background-color: #E0EAF1;}
Resources.java
public interface Resources extends ClientBundle {
#Source("Style.css")
Style style();
public interface Style extends CssResource {
String nameSpan();
}
}
uibinder.ui.xml
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'>
<ui:with field='res' type='com.my.app.widgets.logoname.Resources'/>
<g:HTMLPanel>
<div>
Well hello there
<g:InlineLabel ui:field='nameSpan' styleName="res.style.nameSpan">kevin</g:InlineLabel>
</div>
</g:HTMLPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
uibinder.class
public class uibinder extends Composite {
private static uibinderUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(uibinderUiBinder.class);
interface uibinderUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, uibinder> {}
#UiField(provided = true) final Resources res; // the style doesn't show no matter provided=true is declared or not.
public uibinder(Resources res) {
res = GWT.create(Resources.class);
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}

You have to use res.style().ensureInjected()

You need to assign the style (styleName attribute) somewhere. For example:
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder' xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'>
<ui:with field='res' type='com.my.app.widgets.logoname.Resources'/>
<g:HTMLPanel>
<div>
Well hello there
<g:InlineLabel ui:field='nameSpan' styleName="{res.nameSpan}">kevin</g:InlineLabel>
</div>
</g:HTMLPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
The attribute ui:field you've declared does not set the css style. It defines the attribute that is to be filled in in your uibinder class. See the GWT doc for some guidance.

Include HTML component in Uibinder

I would like to include some HTML codes in my gwt UiBinder. For example, put a navigation menu bar in a UiBinder as follows.
MenuBarBinder.ui.xml
<g:HTMLPanel>
<div class="topnav">
<a ui:field="home" class="active" href="#home">Home</a>
<a ui:field="news" href="#news">News</a>
<a ui:field="contact" href="#contact">Contact</a>
<a ui:field="about" href="#about">About</a>
</div>
</g:HTMLPanel>
MenuBarBinder.java
public class MenuBarBinder extends Composite{
private static MenuBarBinderUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(MenuBarBinderUiBinder.class);
interface MenuBarBinderUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, MenuBarBinder> {
}
public MenuBarBinder() {
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
#UiField
//How can I refer the ui:field here?
}
How can I refer the ui:field in MenuBarUiBinder.java with #UiField?
Since HTML has more options on designing the UI than GWT widget, it would be very helpful to recommend a tutorial describing this.
Thanks
If the element is an anchor <a> then you would link that to a GWT AnchorElement:
<a ui:field="home" class="active" href="#home">Home</a>
...
#UiField AnchorElement home;

Gwt UIBinder DockLauout north element raise error as must contain a widget, but found <app:HeaderPanel ui:field='headerPanel'>

While trying to use Gwt UIBinder to have a custom widget loaded from main UI i am getting exception as
[ERROR] <g:north size='5'> must contain a widget, but found <app:HeaderPanel ui:field='headerPanel'> Element <g:DockLayoutPanel styleName='{style.outer}' unit='EM'> (:8)
while parsing XML in development mode. Below is the XML which I created for the same

</ui:UiBinder>
The headerPanel widget exits in the hierarchy. The corresponding code for above UiBinder is given below
public class TestApp implements EntryPoint {
#UiField
HeaderPanel headerPanel;
#UiField
ScrollPanel mainPanel;
RootLayoutPanel root;
private static TestApp singleton;
public static TestApp get() {
return singleton;
}
interface TestAppUiBinder extends UiBinder<DockLayoutPanel, TestApp> {
}
private static TestAppUiBinder uiBinder = GWT
.create(TestAppUiBinder.class);
#Override
public void onModuleLoad() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
singleton = this;
DockLayoutPanel outer = uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this);
root = RootLayoutPanel.get();
root.add(outer);
}
}
Basically I am novice in Gwt and trying to learn the things. Any pointer in this regard will be a great help.
Thanks.
What is
<app:HeaderPanel ui:field='headerPanel' />? If it does not extend Widget then it will not work. Try putting <g:Label>FOO</g:Label> in there and see if it works. Also make sure that your xmlns is correct. It will look for Header Panel in the package com.test.test.client. If you are trying to use the gwt Header Panel then it needs to be
<g:HeaderPanel ui:field="headerPanel" />
I think you are misunderstanding the xmlns. This tells gwt where to look for your java class. Both app and test are pointing to the same package. You should only add namespaces when you want to include your own custom widget classes or extra things like CellTable and DataGrid. I believe you are wanting to use the header.
Issue got fixed as it was xml parsing issue.
Thanks for providing inputs.

Field nameSpan has no corresponding field in template file Login.ui.xml

Eclipse 3.7 GWT 2.4
When I create templated UiBinder class with xml
I see issue on
#UiField
SpanElement nameSpan;
"Field nameSpan has no corresponding field in template file Login.ui.xml"
How fix it?
Login.java
public class Login extends UIObject {
private static LoginUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(LoginUiBinder.class);
interface LoginUiBinder extends UiBinder<Element, Login> {
}
#UiField
SpanElement nameSpan;
public Login(String firstName) {
setElement(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
nameSpan.setInnerText(firstName);
}
}
Login.ui.xml
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'>
<div>
Hello,
<span ui:field='nameSpan' />
</div>
</ui:UiBin
"Field nameSpan has no corresponding field in template file Login.ui.xml"
It states that there is no corresponding type of field in login.ui.xml as define by #UiField in login.java
Your login.ui.xml should be something like :
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder' xmlns:s='urn:import:com.google.gwt.dom.client'>
<div>
Hello,
<s:SpanElement ui:field='nameSpan' />
</div>

GWT - CssResource - common style - good practice

I have 5 views(.ui.xml). On every view i paste soemthing like that:
<ui:style src="../MyStyle.css" />
and on every button on every page I put styleName attribute:
<g:Button ui:field="buttonName" styleName="{style.myButtonStyle}" />
My Question is: Do I have to put styleName for all my buttons ? I would like to do something general style for this kind of widget .
What is good practice for this case?
Have you tried to customize GWT themes or create your own ? I think this is what you need to do.
Create your own button MyButton by extending Composite and define the UIBinder for this Button with style once.
Next you can re-use this button by adding your own namespace in the views.
Here's your widget :
package com.example.widgets;
...
public class MyButton extends Composite {
interface MyButtonUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, MyButton> {
}
private static MyButtonUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(MyButtonUiBinder.class);
#UiField
Button wrapped;
public MyButton() {
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
}
and the UIBinder file :
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'>
<ui:style>
.myStyle {
text-shadow: gray;
color: gray;
font-size: 12px;
text-decoration: italic;
}
</ui:style>
<g:HTMLPanel>
<g:Button ui:field="wrapped" styleName="{style.myStyle}" />
</g:HTMLPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
In your views, you can now include this button in the UIBinder files :
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"
xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui' xmlns:k='urn:import:com.example.widgets'>
<g:AbsolutePanel width="350px" height="225px">
<g:at left='10' top='0'>
<k:MyButton></k:MyButton>
</g:at>
</g:AbsolutePanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
If you need to set the text or other properties on your personal widget, simply delegate the methods from the wrapped button to expose them.
One way would be to use addStyleDependentName() which would create an additional style by appending that to the primary style name, and allow you to apply specific styling.
For example, .gwt-Button is the default primary style for Button. If you have a set of 5 (N) buttons you like to style in the same way, you'd instantiate them with , which would add an additional style for this button: .gwt-Button-customButton, which you can add to a .css file and include in the module once.

How to extends/subcontents a dialog box using the GWT UiBinder?

I want to build "from scratch" a DialogBox hierarchy. First of all, I've got
a BaseDialog.java class : A simple dialog that extends DialogBox (gwt widget)
public class BaseDialog extends DialogBox {
protected static BaseDialog2UiBinder uiBinder = GWT
.create(BaseDialog2UiBinder.class);
interface BaseDialog2UiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, BaseDialog2> {
}
#UiField
protected FlowPanel contentPanel;
public BaseDialog() {
setWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
}
a BaseDialog.ui.xml
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"
xmlns:g="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui">
<g:VerticalPanel width="200px" height="200px">
<g:Label>Label principal</g:Label>
<g:FlowPanel ui:field="contentPanel" />
</g:VerticalPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
As you can see, the BaseDialog contains a simple Label and a contentPanel (FlowPanel).
I would like to extends the BaseDialog (e.g. ConfirmationDialog). The ConfirmationDialog fills the content of the BaseDialog's contentPanel.
How can I do that ?
Thanks.
Ok, I have found the solution :
public class ConfirmationBox extends BaseDialog2 {
protected static ConfirmationBoxUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(ConfirmationBoxUiBinder.class);
interface ConfirmationBoxUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, ConfirmationBox> {
}
#UiField
Label helloLabel;
public ConfirmationBox() {
contentPanel.add(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
}
}
And
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"
xmlns:g="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui" xmlns:my="urn:import:com.guardis.cortex.web.client.dialog">
<g:FlowPanel>
<my:BaseDialog2>
<g:FlowPanel ui:field="contentPanel">
<g:Label>test contentPanel from confirmationBox</g:Label>
</g:FlowPanel>
</my:BaseDialog2>
<g:Label ui:field="helloLabel">Hello world from confirmation box (outside of BaseDialog)</g:Label>
</g:FlowPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
