How to populate the flex table in GWT from the backend

Question

I have to pull out values from backend and fill it as rows in the flex table. I am not using static data, so I cannot use:

table.setText(0, 0, "Name");
table.setText(0, 1,"Birthdate");
table.setText(0, 2, "Address");

How can I pull out data and fill it as rows in flex table. Or should I use a Grid table for the same?

Answer 1

What's about something like this. In another class you could load your data from backend and create new Car Objekts and pass them to the MyCarFlexTable class.

class MyCarFlexTable extends FlexTable {

 private int rowNumber;
 private List<Car> cars;

 public MyCarFlexTable(List<Car> cars) {
  this.cars = cars;
  initTable();
 }

 private void initTable() {
  for(Car c : cars) {
   // define which data is printed in which column
   setText(rowNumber, 0, c.getId()); // Id of Car
   setWidget(rowNumber, 1, new Label(c.getName())); // Name of Car
   // add more Columns
   rowNumber++;
  }
 }
}
