use uibinder css in java rather than xml

in my ui.xml, i have style like below

<ui:style src="../teststyle.css" />

if i want to programmatically use the style inside java file rather than ui.xml, in my widget how to call .setStyleName(..) as the css is obfuscated

Solution

  • You need to do the following steps to use the styles in your view class:

    • Define a interface that extends CssResource in your view class
    interface Style extends CssResource {

    String myStyle();

}
    • Add a ui field of that type you just defined in your view class
    @UiField
Style style;
    • In your ui.xml add the type attribute to your <ui:style> element (the type must match the interface of step 1):
    <ui:style type="com.example.MyView.Style">

    • For each of the css classes you want to access in your view class you need to add a method to the Style interface (as done with myStyle())

    • You can now access the style via the style field (style.myStyle())

    Hope that helps.
