Method Detail

getId

public String getId()

This method gets the ID used to identify this object. An ID should be unique. The ID of a dialog should only contain ASCII letters, Latin digits, hyphens or underscores. It must NOT contain ':', ';', '&', '?', '=', '/', '\\' or ' '.

Returns:

the object's ID.

See Also:

DialogConstants.DIALOG_ID_ROOT, DialogConstants.DIALOG_ID_PAGE, DialogConstants.DIALOG_ID_HOME

getType

public String getType()

This method determines the type of this Dialog. There are predefined TYPE_* constants for common types in DialogConstants. However, you can simply create additional custom types for your needs.

Returns:

the type of this Dialog.

See Also:

DialogConstants.TYPE_MAIN, DialogConstants.TYPE_HEADER, DialogConstants.TYPE_FOOTER, DialogConstants.TYPE_NAVIGATION, DialogConstants.TYPE_SIDE, DialogConstants.TYPE_ROOT

doShow

protected DialogSlot doShow(DialogPlace dialogPlace)

This method gets called whenever this DialogController is to be shown. There are two cases to distinguish:

• direct
  This DialogController is identified by the given DialogPlace. It is the leaf of the DialogController-hierarchy that is to be displayed.
• indirect
  Because of a direct request to show a dialog, its parent (and ancestors) will be shown that will embed their child dialog in the DialogSlot returned by this method.

If this is the root DialogController this method will never be called.

Specified by:

doShow in class DialogController<VIEW extends UiWidgetRegular>

Parameters:

dialogPlace - is the DialogPlace pointing to the direct dialog to open and containing potential parameters.

Returns:

the DialogSlot identifying the parent DialogController and its slot where to embed this DialogController.
