Verification of Build Menu Issue and Guidance on Popup Menu Implementation in GWT

Hello GWT Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently working on developing a mobile-friendly menu for a platform similar to App Inventor. Recently, I encountered an issue with the build menu, and my mentor provided a solution. I'd like to verify her approach with the community and also seek guidance on implementing a pop-up menu with a hamburger icon and accordion-style submenu items.

Context of the Issue

The problem involves the build menu in our application. my mentor explained that if the menu items are not present in the menu with the field name buildDropDown, the template fails to load and reverts to the "Classic(old/extended)" version interface. To resolve this, she suggested keeping the "Build" menu in the code but making it invisible (using visible="false"), while repeating the build options in a mobile-friendly "Settings" menu.

Her Solution

Here's the approach she recommended, with the relevant code snippets:

• XML (UiBinder): Defines the toolbar with a hidden buildDropDown menu.

• Java: Binds the UI components, including the hidden buildDropDown.

You can view her complete code here: code

Verification Request

Could the community please verify if her approach—keeping the buildDropDown menu hidden but present in the code—is correct and a standard way to handle this issue in GWT? Are there any better alternatives or potential drawbacks to this method? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Popup Menu Implementation

I'm also looking to implement a popup menu with the following features:

• Triggered by clicking a hamburger icon.

• Displays all menu items, with submenus organized in an accordion style (expandable/collapsible sections).

I'd be grateful for any guidance, examples, or resources on how to achieve this in GWT. If anyone has implemented something similar or can point me to relevant documentation, it would be a huge help.
