Creating Hyperlink using GWT

     

This example describes the Basics for building the Hyperlink using GWT. The steps involved in Building the Hyperlink are described below:-

private Label label = new Label()
Here we are declaring label. Label is a widget that contains text.

Hyperlink link0 = new Hyperlink("Delhi", "Delhi")
Creating Hyperlink object named 'link0'. Hyperlink is a class or a widget that serves as an "internal" hyperlink

VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel()
Creating Vertical panel. Vertical panel  is a class that lays all of its widgets out in a single vertical column.

panel.add(label)
This is the method of  class Vertical panel. By using this method we added a label to the Panel

History.addHistoryListener(this)
History is a class that allows us to interact with the browser's history stack. addHistoryListener() is a method of this class to adds a listener to the browser's history stack.

package org.yournamehere.client;
import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.HistoryListener;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.History;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Hyperlink;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.RootPanel;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.VerticalPanel;

public class HyperLinkExample implements EntryPoint,HistoryListener {
  private Label label = new Label();
 public void onModuleLoad() {
  Hyperlink link0 = new Hyperlink("Delhi""Delhi");
  Hyperlink link1 = new Hyperlink("Mumbai""Mumbai");
  Hyperlink link2 = new Hyperlink("Chennai""Chennai");
  Hyperlink link3 = new Hyperlink("Banglore""Banglore");

  String Token = History.getToken();
  if (Token.length() == 0) {
  History.newItem("Banglore");
  }
  VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel();
  panel.add(label);
  panel.add(link0);
  panel.add(link1);
  panel.add(link2);
  panel.add(link3);
  RootPanel.get().add(panel);
  History.addHistoryListener(this);
  History.fireCurrentHistoryState();
  }
  public void onHistoryChanged(String historyToken) {
  label.setText("The current Link selected is: " + historyToken);
  }
}
