Pagination in GWT

Question

Is pagination supported in GWT? Does GWT provide a GWT GUI element?

Answer 1

If you need table pagination, you can try the GWT Widget called "CellTable". It is a customizable table which supports pagination easily.

You can find more info here (javadoc page) : http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/user/cellview/client/CellTable.html

And this is an example of how use it: http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwCellTable

Answer 2

As @caarlos0 mentioned, CellTable is a good start. You can also take a look of GWT SimplePager and AsyncDataProvider. Basically a SimplePager will be bind to a CellTable (or any Cell widget) and AsyncDataProvider. If there is a page change event fired (like user click next page), the onRangeChanged() will be called inside AsyncDataProvider, and you can customize the paging behavior in that function.
