旧貌换新颜

现在,我们FirstApp项目已经引入了GXT库,但是我们还没有具体使用他们。现在我们从FirstApp.java拷贝出一份文件,重命名为FirstGxtApp.java。在整个文件里,我们将使用GXT的控件去替换GWT的控件。通过之间的比较,我们会发现他们之间很相似,但是也有不同,下面跟我小妹的脚步吧:

  • 找到FirstApp.java,拷贝出一份文件,重命名为FirstGxtApp.java
  • 删除一些import
import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.ClickEvent;
import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.ClickHandler;
import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.KeyUpEvent;
import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.KeyUpHandler;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Button;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.DialogBox;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.TextBox;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.VerticalPanel;
  • 导入一些相应的GXT
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.ButtonEvent;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.SelectionListener;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.KeyListener;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.ComponentEvent;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.Dialog;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.Label;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.VerticalPanel;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.button.Button;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.form.TextField;

你会发现GXT和GWT之间有不少类似的类,如下是一些他们之间的对比情况

GXT

GWT

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.Dialog

com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.DialogBox

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.Label

com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.VerticalPanel

com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.VerticalPanel

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.button.Button

com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Button

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.form.TextField

com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.TextBox

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.ButtonEvent

com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.ClickEvent

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.SelectionListener

com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.ClickHandler

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.KeyListener

com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.KeyUpEvent

com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.event.ComponentEvent

com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.KeyUpHandler

  • 接下来,我们要做的,就是在FirstGXTApp.java中,重新用GXT类库,来定义控件。在GWT例子(FirstApp.java)里面,所有的控件代码集都是定义在onModuleLoad()方法里面,然后使用的内部类去实现Handler(interface),来处理不同的事件。但是GXT使用listeners(class)去处理事件的,因此在处理方式上,我们需要把GXT的控件提出到onModuleLoad()方法之外,变成属性去处理。
private final Button sendButton = new Button("Send");
private final TextField<String> nameField = new
TextField<String>();
private final Dialog dialogBox = new Dialog();
private final Label textToServerLabel = new Label();
private final HTML serverResponseLabel = new HTML();


  • GXT和GWT的控件之间,在functions上,存在这一些不同。在开始修改之前,先看看我总结的一些不同点。

GXT

GWT

TextField.setValue()

TextBox.setText()

TextField.focus()

TextBox.setFocus(true)

DialogBox.setHeading()

DialogBox.setText()

DialogBox.setAnimCollapse(true)

DialogBox.setAnimationEnabled(true)

VerticalPanel .setHorizontalAlign(HorizontalAlignment.RIGHT);

VerticalPanel.setHorizontalAlignment(VerticalPanel.ALIGN_RIGHT)

  • 另外一个不同点,就正如我上面提到的,就是事件处理机制不同。GWT使用event handlers,GXT 是使用event listeners(类似于早期版本的GWT)。但是不管怎么样,代码风格上也非常类似。下面我把整个两个文件贴出来,大家看看不同之处

  • 两个文件修改好了之后,我们要修改GWT的module文件。打开FirstApp.gxt.xml,修改entry-point为新的FirstGXTApp。然后我们运行一下吧
<!--entry-point class='com.danielvaughan.firstapp.client.FirstApp' /-->
<entry-point class='com.danielvaughan.firstapp.client.FirstGXTApp' />
