GWT twitter share button

I followed the twitter share API - normal text from here

https://dev.twitter.com/web/tweet-button

Tried this 

Button twitterButton = new Button();
twitterButton.setHTML("<a href=\"https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text="+tab.getUrlHeader()+"  data-size=\"large\"> <img src=\"img/social/twitter.png\"  >   </a>");

But on button click nothing pops up or happens.

Do i need to add any click handler on button ..?

any help is appreciated ..

Solution

  • I don't think you need to create a Button for this. But just a HTML element.

    HTML twitterButton = new HTML();
twitterButton.setHTML("<a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text="+tab.getUrlHeader()+"\" data-size=\"large\" target=\"_blank\"> <img src=\"img/social/tweet.jpg\"  >   </a>");

    Note that I also find the actual html you are using a little bit strange ? You are never using class="twitter-share-button" although on the link you provide the first thing they say is : Create a new anchor element with a twitter-share-button class...
