GWT-Platform + SmartGWT: Chained pop-up windows - smartgwt

I got a login window which, depending on the RPC response, will show me another Window. What I'm wondering is how to initialize the second Window. I tried onReset and onReveal methods but is like they are never triggered, In addition, when resetting values, using destroy() will kill my Window permanently. I ended up with the following solution, but I feel is not too efficient, can someone recommend me a way to do it?
public void onSuccess(LoginResult result) {
if(result.getResponse().equalsIgnoreCase("OK")){
getView().getUsernameField().setValue("");
getView().getPasswordField().setValue("");
getView().getWindow().hide();
memberWindow.setUsername(username);
memberWindow.loadAppointments(new Date());
((Window) memberWindow.getWidget()).show();
}else{
SC.say("Error", "Login failed because: " + result);
}

Try out something like this
#Override
public void onSuccess(LoginResult result) {
CurrentUser currentUser = new CurrentUser(getView().getUserName());
LoginAuthenticatedEvent.fire(eventBus, currentUser);
// notice the place manager call. The transitions between the pages are
// done in GWTP through PlaceManager.revealPlace(PlaceRequest) call.
PlaceRequest placeRequest = new PlaceRequest(NameTokens.mainPage);
getPlaceManager().revealPlace(placeRequest);
}

How to detect when Vaadin FileDownloader succeeds or fails

I have Vaadin 7 code to give the user an option to download a file:
Button btnDownloadResults = new Button("Download Results", FontAwesome.CLOUD_DOWNLOAD);
resource = new StreamResource(new MyStreamResource(), suggestedSaveAsFilename);
new FileDownloader(resource).extend(btnDownloadResults);
I would like to trigger code when the download has succeeded, or even if the download manages to start. Uses for this include closing a window, starting a progress spinner, or incrementing a download count.
Unlike the Vaadin Upload component, the FileDownloader does not have any listeners for finding out when a file download fails, succeeds, or starts.
Here is a simplified version of my StreamResouce subclass:
public class MyStreamResource implements StreamSource {
#Override
public InputStream getStream() {
String filename = /* code to determine the filename */;
try {
final File results = new File(FilenameUtils.normalize(filename));
return new FileInputStream(results);
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
String errorMsg = "Cannot download results. Try again later, or contact your sysadmin.";
Utilities.showError(errorMsg);
return null;
} catch (Exception e) {
Utilities.logAndShowException(e);
return null;
}
}
}
Note that the getStream method returns before the user has even been prompted where to save the file (which they can choose to cancel.) So I can't trigger anything from inside that method.
One suggestion I got was to subclass the FileDownloader as follows:
FileDownloader fileDownloader = new FileDownloader(fileInputStream) {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -4584979099145066535L;
#Override
public boolean handleConnectorRequest(VaadinRequest request, VaadinResponse response, String path) throws IOException {
boolean result = super.handleConnectorRequest(request, response, path);
if (result) {
/* YOUR LOGIC GOES HERE */
}
return result;
}
} ;
Again, this fires too soon (and the boolean result is always true, even if my StreamSource returns null.)
Any suggestions?
After more research I believe the answer is that there is no simple way to get this information from the FileDownloader.
The difficulty appears to be a consequence of the way the FileDownloader is designed. From the FileDownloader docs:
"Download should be started directly when the user clicks e.g. a Button without going through a server-side click listener to avoid triggering security warnings in some browsers."
Because there is no round-trip back to the web server, there is no place to respond when the download fails, starts, or succeeds.
Some vague (and possibly bad) ideas for a workaround:
Have JS post some kind of asynchronous notification to the web
server, letting it know what happened. (Using JMS or Ajax?)
If there was some kind active process on the backend involved with transferring the file, it
would know when the transfer happened.
But the short answer seems to be there is no built-in way in Vaadin to do it.

CodenameOne Connection Request hangs when repeated

I have the following Codename One code for accessing a network resource. It is almost an exact copy of the Codename One tutorial for this use case.
public void executeRequest(){
String url = "http://www.random.net";
InfiniteProgress prog = new InfiniteProgress();
final Dialog dlg = prog.showInifiniteBlocking();
ConnectionRequest r = new ConnectionRequest() {
#Override
protected void postResponse() {
//handle changes to my form
}
#Override
protected void readResponse(InputStream input)
throws IOException {
//handle parsing data
}
#Override
protected void handleIOException(IOException err) {
super.handleIOException(err);
}
};
r.setUrl(url);
r.setPost(false);
r.addArgument("arg", "2");
r.setDuplicateSupported(true);
r.setDisposeOnCompletion(dlg);
NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueue(r);
}
The first time I run it - no problem. If I try to "refresh" my data by calling the same method over again, the app will hang up with the InfiniteProgress dialog spinning forever. Its almost like the first network request is not ever really completing, and then the second one kind of conflicts. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
By default duplicate requests to the exact same URL are disabled, try invoking setDuplicatesSuppotred(true) on the connection request.
For future reference, what fixed this for me was to use
NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(r);
instead. That cleared up most of my problems.
I stucked with the same problem and none of solutions worked. However, I did it this way:
final NetworkManager nm = NetworkManager.getInstance();
nm.setTimeout(3000);
then
protected void postResponse() {
...
nm.shutdown();
}
and call was made as
nm.addToQueueAndWait(request);
Maybe the fact that NetworkManager was made final did the job, but I put "shutdown" just for sure. It worked for me

Using #PreserveOnRefresh (Vaadin 7), can I have a listener called for each "reinit" within a UIDL request?

When a user comes back to their session I have a listener check for some get parameters (denoting authentication). The problem is I can't reinitialize UI logic from that point (I believe) because it's not within a UIDL transaction. At any rate, my UI throws as NPE as soon as it hits the first call for UI.getCurrent().
How can I get a safe hook into each page refresh?
Vaadin 7.2 introduced a method called refresh(VaadinRequest) in UI which is called after a browser refresh when the UI has the #PreserveOnRefresh annotation.
I was unable to find a simple 'refresh' listener, but managed to get the behaviour by combining a RequestHandler and a UriFragmentChangedListener.
ui.getPage().addUriFragmentChangedListener(new Page.UriFragmentChangedListener() {
#Override
public void uriFragmentChanged(final Page.UriFragmentChangedEvent event) {
// ...proceed with application setup
}
});
ui.getSession().addRequestHandler(new RequestHandler() {
#Override
public boolean handleRequest(VaadinSession session, VaadinRequest request, VaadinResponse response) {
if (containsAuthInfo(request)) {
final String redirect = "<html><body></body><script>window.location=\""
+ APP_URL + "#" + UUID.randomUUID() + "\";</script></body></html>";
response.getOutputStream().write(redirect.getBytes());
return true;
}
return false;
}
});

java.lang.IllegalStateException: trying to requery an already closed cursor android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor#

I've read several related posts and even posted and answer here but it seems like I was not able to solve the problem.
I have 3 Activities:
Act1 (main)
Act2
Act3
When going back and forth Act1->Act2 and Act2->Act1 I get no issues
When going Act2->Act3 I get no issues
When going Act3->Act2 I get occasional crashes with the following error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: trying to requery an already closed cursor android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor#.... This is a ListView cursor.
What I tried:
1. Adding stopManagingCursor(currentCursor);to the onPause() of Act2 so I stop managing the cursor when leaving Act2 to Act3
protected void onPause()
{
Log.i(getClass().getName() + ".onPause", "Hi!");
super.onPause();
saveState();
//Make sure you get rid of the cursor when leaving to another Activity
//Prevents: ...Unable to resume activity... trying to requery an already closed cursor
Cursor currentCursor = ((SimpleCursorAdapter)getListAdapter()).getCursor();
stopManagingCursor(currentCursor);
}
When returning back from Act3 to Act2 I do the following:
private void populateCompetitorsListView()
{
ListAdapter currentListAdapter = getListAdapter();
Cursor currentCursor = null;
Cursor tournamentStocksCursor = null;
if(currentListAdapter != null)
{
currentCursor = ((SimpleCursorAdapter)currentListAdapter).getCursor();
if(currentCursor != null)
{
//might be redundant, not sure
stopManagingCursor(currentCursor);
// Get all of the stocks from the database and create the item list
tournamentStocksCursor = mDbHelper.retrieveTrounamentStocks(mTournamentRowId);
((SimpleCursorAdapter)currentListAdapter).changeCursor(tournamentStocksCursor);
}
else
{
tournamentStocksCursor = mDbHelper.retrieveTrounamentStocks(mTournamentRowId);
}
}
else
{
tournamentStocksCursor = mDbHelper.retrieveTrounamentStocks(mTournamentRowId);
}
startManagingCursor(tournamentStocksCursor);
//Create an array to specify the fields we want to display in the list (only name)
String[] from = new String[] {StournamentConstants.TblStocks.COLUMN_NAME, StournamentConstants.TblTournamentsStocks.COLUMN_SCORE};
// and an array of the fields we want to bind those fields to (in this case just name)
int[] to = new int[]{R.id.competitor_name, R.id.competitor_score};
// Now create an array adapter and set it to display using our row
SimpleCursorAdapter tournamentStocks = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.competitor_row, tournamentStocksCursor, from, to);
//tournamentStocks.convertToString(tournamentStocksCursor);
setListAdapter(tournamentStocks);
}
So I make sure I invalidate the cursor and use a different one. I found out that when I go Act3->Act2 the system will sometimes use the same cursor for the List View and sometimes it will have a different one.
This is hard to debug and I was never able to catch a crashing system while debugging. I suspect this has to do with the time it takes to debug (long) and the time it takes to run the app (much shorter, no pause due to breakpoints).
In Act2 I use the following Intent and expect no result:
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id)
{
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityCompetitorDetails.class);
intent.putExtra(StournamentConstants.App.competitorId, id);
intent.putExtra(StournamentConstants.App.tournamentId, mTournamentRowId);
startActivity(intent);
}
Moving Act1->Act2 Act2->Act1 never gives me trouble. There I use startActivityForResult(intent, ACTIVITY_EDIT); and I am not sure - could this be the source of my trouble?
I would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this subject. I am interested in learning some more about this subject.
Thanks,D.
I call this a 2 dimensional problem: two things were responsible for this crash:
1. I used startManagingCursor(mItemCursor); where I shouldn't have.
2. I forgot to initCursorAdapter() (for autocomplete) on onResume()
//#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private void initCursorAdapter()
{
mItemCursor = mDbHelper.getCompetitorsCursor("");
startManagingCursor(mItemCursor); //<= this is bad!
mCursorAdapter = new CompetitorAdapter(getApplicationContext(), mItemCursor);
initItemFilter();
}
Now it seems to work fine. I hope so...
Put this it may work for you:
#Override
protected void onRestart() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onRestart();
orderCursor.requery();
}
This also works
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
startManagingCursor(Cursor);
}

ELMAH - Using custom error pages to collecting user feedback

I'm looking at using ELMAH for the first time but have a requirement that needs to be met that I'm not sure how to go about achieving...
Basically, I am going to configure ELMAH to work under asp.net MVC and get it to log errors to the database when they occur. On top of this I be using customErrors to direct the user to a friendly message page when an error occurs. Fairly standard stuff...
The requirement is that on this custom error page I have a form which enables to user to provide extra information if they wish. Now the problem arises due to the fact that at this point the error is already logged and I need to associate the loged error with the users feedback.
Normally, if I was using my own custom implementation, after I log the error I would pass through the ID of the error to the custom error page so that an association can be made. But because of the way that ELMAH works, I don't think the same is quite possible.
Hence I was wondering how people thought that one might go about doing this....
Cheers
UPDATE:
My solution to the problem is as follows:
public class UserCurrentConextUsingWebContext : IUserCurrentConext
{
private const string _StoredExceptionName = "System.StoredException.";
private const string _StoredExceptionIdName = "System.StoredExceptionId.";
public virtual string UniqueAddress
{
get { return HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress; }
}
public Exception StoredException
{
get { return HttpContext.Current.Application[_StoredExceptionName + this.UniqueAddress] as Exception; }
set { HttpContext.Current.Application[_StoredExceptionName + this.UniqueAddress] = value; }
}
public string StoredExceptionId
{
get { return HttpContext.Current.Application[_StoredExceptionIdName + this.UniqueAddress] as string; }
set { HttpContext.Current.Application[_StoredExceptionIdName + this.UniqueAddress] = value; }
}
}
Then when the error occurs, I have something like this in my Global.asax:
public void ErrorLog_Logged(object sender, ErrorLoggedEventArgs args)
{
var item = new UserCurrentConextUsingWebContext();
item.StoredException = args.Entry.Error.Exception;
item.StoredExceptionId = args.Entry.Id;
}
Then where ever you are later you can pull out the details by
var item = new UserCurrentConextUsingWebContext();
var error = item.StoredException;
var errorId = item.StoredExceptionId;
item.StoredException = null;
item.StoredExceptionId = null;
Note this isn't 100% perfect as its possible for the same IP to have multiple requests to have errors at the same time. But the likely hood of that happening is remote. And this solution is independent of the session, which in our case is important, also some errors can cause sessions to be terminated, etc. Hence why this approach has worked nicely for us.
The ErrorLogModule in ELMAH (version 1.1 as of this writing) provides a Logged event that you can handle in Global.asax and which you can use to communicate details, say via HttpContext.Items collection, to your custom error page. If you registered the ErrorLogModule under the name ErrorLog in web.config then your event handler in Global.asax will look like this:
void ErrorLog_Logged(object sender, ErrorLoggedEventArgs args)
{
var id = args.Entry.Id
// ...
}
