How to use JavaScript callback function in GWT UiBinder?

Question

I want to do Facebook Login on a mobile web page. This can be done with a Facebook Login Button. It works great. I have the following code in my GWT UiBinder page:

<g:HTMLPanel>
    <div class="fb-login-button" data-max-rows="1" data-size="xlarge" 
                data-show-faces="false" data-auto-logout-link="false" 
                data-scope="email,publish_actions,user_birthday,user_likes" 
                onlogin="alert('I am a JavaScript callback');"></div>

</g:HTMLPanel>

If login is successful, the onlogin JavaScript function is called.

How can I use this callback function somehow to get notified when this function is called? Is there a way to use JSNI or something else here?

Answer 1

Here is the correct working version based on logans answer. I added the instance variable which is needed because the myOnload() method is non-static. I also added the $entry() function to track error in GWT.

class MyClass{

   MyClass(){

     expose();

     // UiBinder stuff here
   }

   // Call this once. Exports your Java method as a javascript method
   public native void expose()/*-{
       var instance = this;
       $wnd.myOnLoadThing = $entry(function(){
           [email protected]::myOnload()();
       });
    }-*/;

   public void myOnload(){
       // Put your java onload function here
   };
}

And in your uiBinder, make sure to call that myOnLoadThing

<g:HTMLPanel>
<div class="fb-login-button" data-max-rows="1" data-size="xlarge" 
            data-show-faces="false" data-auto-logout-link="false" 
            data-scope="email,publish_actions,user_birthday,user_likes" 
            onlogin="window.myOnLoadThing();"></div>

</g:HTMLPanel>
