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.

HyperLinkExample.java


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);

  }

}
