java gwt flowpanel always new line


I'm trying to use a flowpanel in java gwt but when I add different widgets, the panel adds every widget in a new line, here is how I set the flowPanel

 public class Test extends Composite {
   public abstract class SomeWidget<T> extends Composite {
      ...
   }

   public class SomeStringWidget extends SomeWidget<String> {
      ...
   }


   public void setWidget() {
     FlowPanel fp = new FlowPanel();
     fp.setWidth("100%");
     fp.add(new SomeStringWidget());
     fp.add(new SomeStringWidget());
     ...
   }
 }

Why is every Widget set in a new line and not, as the flowpanel should, add the widgets in a line till there is no more space and then add them in a new line??


Solution

  • I was facing same issue and assigned style to FlowPanel widget to align widgets in a line. This will solve your problem.

    FlowPanel fp = new FlowPanel();
    fp.setStyleName("flowPanel_inline");
    

    style.css

    .flowPanel_inline
    {
        display:inline;
    }
    

    Also you have to set this same style in added elements also.
