Link-widget GWT - uiBinder

Question

I want to use a link or a button like (a href="..."/>) in GWT with uiBinder.

I found the widget "hyperlink" but I don´t know how I use that.

Answer 1

You should use the Anchor widget.

You can use a sample ClickHandler on it to detect the click event or use the default href with the constructor :

Anchor(boolean useDefaultHref) 

You can also use the setter setHref(java.lang.String href)

In UiBinder :

<g:Anchor ui:field="mylink" href="/myurl">The link test</g:Anchor>

EDIT :

To open the link in a new tab, you should use the setTarget(String target) method like the following example :

setTarget("_blank");

Answer 2

Unless you need to programatically do things with the anchor, you can just add the html into the uibinder code directly. In fact, UIBinder is not just a WYSIWYG, but it is a place for you to enter as much native HTML as you can. That makes for leaner and faster web apps.
