gwt get array button value - gwt

Question

My gwt project have flexTable show data of image and button on each row and coll.
But my button won't work properly. this is my current code:
private Button[] b = new Button[]{new Button("a"),...,new Button("j")};
private int z=0;
...
public void UpdateTabelGallery(JsArray str){
for(int i=0; i str.length(); i++){
b[i].setText(str.gettitle());
UpdateTabelGallery(str.get(i));
}
}
public void UpdateTabelGallery(GalleryData str){
Image img = new Image();
img.setUrl(str.getthumburl());
HTML himage= new HTML("a href="+str.geturl()+">"+ img +"/a>" + b[z] );
TabelGaleri.setWidget(y, x, himage);
//is here th right place?
b[z].addClickHandler(new ClickHandler(){
#Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
Window.alert("I wan to show the clicked button text" + b[z].getText());
}
});
z++;
}
I'm still confuse where I should put my button handler. With this current code seems the clickhandler didn't work inside a looping. And if I put it outside loop its not working because I need to know which button clicked. I need to get my index button.but how? Is there any option than array button?
thanks

I was using this method me too, then I've created a new Button with an additional argument.
When I add the ButtonArg I set also the argument:
Panel.add(new ButtonArg("B1", i));
...
// Create a handler for the A-Z buttons
class MyHandler implements ClickHandler {
public void onClick(ClickEvent e) {
ButtonArg btn=(ButtonArg) e.getSource();
Window.alert("Button Text="+btn.getArgument());
}
}
public class ButtonArg extends Button {
int argument;
public ButtonArg(String html, int arg) {
super(html);
setArgument(arg);
}
public int getArgument() {
return argument;
}
public void setArgument(int argument) {
this.argument = argument;
}

The problem is that you refer to 'z' in your click handler, but the value of z changes, so that when your click handler is actually called the value of z is wrong.
You need a local final variable in UpdateTabelGallery which you assign the current value of z to to allow it to be captured by the handler you create. Even better, get rid of z entirely and pass i to UpdateTableGallery:
public void updateTableGallery(GalleryData str, final int i){
Image img = new Image();
img.setUrl(str.getthumburl());
HTML himage= new HTML("a href="+str.geturl()+">"+ img +"/a>" + b[i] );
TabelGaleri.setWidget(y, x, himage);
//is here th right place?
b[i].addClickHandler(new ClickHandler(){
#Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
Window.alert("I wan't to show the clicked button text" + b[i].getText());
}
});
}
But what do you expect:
HTML himage= new HTML("a href="+str.geturl()+">"+ img +"/a>" + b[i] );
to do? Aside from the incorrect HTML syntax, I don't think adding ypur button to the string will work.

I know this is old, but it didn't look answered and I was looking to do the same thing. Here's one solution:
public void onModuleLoad() {
Button[] b=new Button[26];
RootPanel rp=RootPanel.get("body");
// Create a handler for the A-Z buttons
class MyHandler implements ClickHandler {
public void onClick(ClickEvent e) {
Button btn=(Button) e.getSource();
Window.alert("Button Text="+btn.getText());
}
}
MyHandler handler = new MyHandler();
for(int i=0;i<26;i++) {
b[i] = new Button(String.valueOf((char)(65+i)));
b[i].addStyleName("sendButton");
rp.add(b[i]);
b[i].addClickHandler(handler);
}
SimplePanel sPanel = new SimplePanel();
}
