Re: menus with UIBinder

Personally I would live with it until GWT understands Java8 lambda's and method references which would eliminate most anonymous classes in GWT sooner or later. To make the init() method look nicer I would think about writing it as:

void init() {

  itm_Login.setScheduledCommand(executeLoginCmd());

}

private ScheduledCommand executeLoginCmd() {

  return new ScheduledCommand() {

    public void execute() {

      // code here

    }

  }

}

This still looks terrible to me! :-)

If there is no better solution, I will consider doing it with constants and switch-statements (back to the 90's):

public enum Command

{

 CMD_LOGIN,

 CMD_LOGOUT,

 CMD_CHEERS;

}

void init ()

{

 setCommand (itm_Login,CMD_LOGIN);

 setCommand (itm_Logout,CMD_LOGOUT);

 setCommand (itm_Cheers,CMD_CHEERS);

}

 

private void setCommand (MenuItem itm,final Command cmd)

{

  itm.setScheduledCommand

  (

   new ScheduledCommand ()

   {

    public void execute ()

    {

     processCommand (cmd);

    }

   }

  );

}

private void processCommand (Command cmd)

{

 // mega switch

} 

Well ok personally I would never use MenuBar + MenuItem because I like to have real hyperlinks so I can open things in tabs. I would have used something like FlowPanel + PopupPanel to build the menu and Hyperlink + GWT Places to build the menu items.

Sounds interesting. Can you give an example?
