Hammer GWT
GWT library that provides multi touch and gestures support through Hammer js
Getting Started
Look into gwt panels sample to get familiar with the syntax of Hammer Gwt
Inherit Hammer GTW module
<module rename-to="myGWTapp">
<inherits name="com.google.GWT.user.User" />
<!-- Hammer GWT module -->
<inherits name="org.geomajas.hammergwt.HammerGWT" />
<source path="client" />
</module>
Register hammer events to existing GWT widget
SimplePanel myWidget = new SimplePanel();
HammerTime hammerTime = HammerGWT.create(myWidget);
// add hammer generic hammer handler
// Note that only tap and drag event are handled here
NativeHammmerHandler hammerHandler = HammerGWT.on(hammerTime, new HammerHandler() {
@Override
public void onHammerEvent(NativeHammerEvent event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.preventNativeDefault();
Element target = event.getTarget();
switch (event.getType()) {
case TAP:
//do something on tap
break;
case DRAG:
default:
//do something on drag
break;
}
}
}, EventType.TAP, EventType.DRAG);
Unregister hammer events
//remove drag event of previously created HammerTime instance
HammerGWT.off(hammerTime, EventType.DRAG, hammerHandler);
Change initial setting of hammer GWT
HammerTime hammerTime = HammerGWT.create(myWidget);
// Set hammer GWT options
hammerTime.setOption(GestureOptions.HOLD_TIMEOUT, 2);
// disable drag event detection of hammer GWT
hammerTime.setOption(GestureOptions.DRAG, false);
Create Hammer GWT widget
// to create hammer GWT widget you should extend HammerWidget class
class HammerGWTExampleWidget extends HammerWidget {
public HammerGWTExampleWidget() {
super();
}
@Override
public Widget createWidget() {
//create GWT widget
SimplePanel panel = new SimplePanel();
panel.setSize("100px", "200px");
panel.getElement().setId("hammerWidget");
return panel;
}
}
// create instance of hammer GWT widget
HammerGWTExampleWidget myHammerWidget = new HammerGWTExampleWidget();
//register tap handler
myHammerWidget.registerTapHandler(new HammerTapHandler() {
@Override
public void onTap(NativeHammerEvent event) {
//do something on tap
}
});
//unregister tap handler
hammerGWTWidget.unregisterHandler(EventType.TAP);
Build hammer GWT project
Hammer GWT is maven modular project. It consists of 3 projects:
-
Implementation project - hammer GWT wrapper implementation.
-
Example project - example code how to use hammer GWT .
-
Documentation project - documentation of hammer GWT.
To build the project you just need maven, the rest is all set up for you.
After you cloned hammer GWT from github go to the parent project and type
mvn clean install;
Start the example project
Go to the root of example project and type
mvn jetty:run
