I'm having an issue trying to call a JS function from Java using Errai 2.3.2 I'm using Bootstrap switch and I need to invoke a JS function in order to activate it. I need to do this after the page is created and all the elements are attached to the DOM element.

I've tried it all: @PostConstruct, @PageShowing, @PageShown, onAttach().. but none of those worked for me.

I have this:

@Override
public void onAttach(){
    enableToggleSwitch();
}

public static native void enableToggleSwitch() /*-{
    $wnd.enableToggle();
}-*/;

and when I debug it, it seems to be that the onAttach() method is invoked before the elements are attached to the DOM.

Any ideas?

You should not override the onAttach() method of the Widget class. If you want to do something in case a widget is attached, override the onLoad-method. 

  /**
   * This method is called immediately after a widget becomes attached to the
   * browser's document.
   */
  protected void onLoad() {
      enableToggleSwitch();
  }

Try this.

If this does not solve your problem, you can try to use a Scheduler:

    Scheduler.get().scheduleDeferred(new ScheduledCommand() {
        @Override
        public void execute() {
            enableToggleSwitch();
        }
    });

  • Thanks! I've used the Scheduler inside the onAttach() method. It works! – cristianmiranda Nov 18 '13 at 18:54
  • @el-hoss why "Should not override the onAttach()" any specific reason :-) – quarks Feb 22 '14 at 20:29
  • onLoad() is called after all Widgets are attached and the attached flag is set. Take a look at the Widget.java. That's the right place, to do something when your widget is attached. – El Hoss Feb 22 '14 at 22:40
