Introduction

Layout management in Vaadin is a direct successor of the web-based concept for separation of content and appearance, and of the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) solution for binding the layout and user interface components into objects in programs. Vaadin layout components allow us to position our UI components on the screen in a hierarchical fashion, much as in conventional Java UI toolkits such as AWT, Swing, or SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit). This chapter describes a few of the practical concepts in the Vaadin framework. Layouting is comprehensive and could be published in a separate book. A lot of technical details are described in the Vaadin book on the web page: https://vaadin.com/book/vaadin7/-/page/layout.html.

Creating an adjustable layout using split panels

In a more complex layout, it is better to let the user adjust it. If we want to use a more flexible layout, we can use split panels. This recipe is about creating a complex layout with different components, for example, menu, editor, properties view, and Help view.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create an adjustable layout:

  1. We create a simple Vaadin project with the main UI class called, for example, Demo:

    public class Demo extends UI {…}

  2. Our application will be based on split panels. As a main panel, we use HorizontaSplitPanel. This panel is divided into two areas. The first is on the left side, the second is on right the side.

    public class AdjustableLayout extends HorizontalSplitPanel {…}

  3. In the constructor, we set the properties of this main panel. On the left side we insert the main menu, on the right side we insert the other content. The left area will take 10 percent of the whole panel. And with the setSizeFull() method,...

Creating a custom layout

When we work on a complex web application, we need to cooperate with more people in the team. UX or graphic designers design layouts and for them it is more natural to design layouts using HTML and CSS. In such cases, we can use Custom layout that is described in the HTML template.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create a custom layout:

  1. Create a project with the main UI class, Demo.

    public class Demo extends UI {…}

  2. First, we'll create an HTML template. Vaadin separates the appearance of the user interface from its logic using themes. Themes can include Sass or CSS style sheets, custom HTML layouts, and any necessary graphics. We'll call our template mylayout.html and place it under the folder layouts. In the WebContent folder we create this path of folders:

    WebContent/VAADIN/themes/mytheme/layouts

  3. Next, we define our layout. By setting the location attribute in the <div> element, we mark our specific areas. These elements will be replaced by Vaadin...

Controlling components over the CSS layout

In some cases, we need to control the CSS style of components programmatically. For example, when we want to create a cloud of the most searched terms or tags in our application, we need to change the size of each tag according to the number of searches. We'll use the CSS layout in that case. Our tag cloud will look like the following screenshot:

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create a cloud of tags using the CssLayout class:

  1. Create an application with the main UI class called, for example, Demo.

    public class Demo extends UI {…}

  2. We need our own label with the fontSize variable. We create a TagLabel class that extends Label.

    public class TagLabel extends Label {…}

  3. Next we add the fontSize attribute and the appropriate get method.

    private int fontSize;

public int getFontSize() {
  return fontSize;
}

  4. In the constructor we call the parent's constructor by super(text) and pass the value of fontSize. If we want to wrap labels on the line, we...

Using CSS layouts for mobile devices

Another nice feature of the CSS layout is that components are wrapped when they reach the width of the layout. This feature can be used to create layouts for small displays, for example, mobile phones or some tablets. We will create a simple layout with a header, two menus, and content in the middle of them.

As we can see in the following screenshot, if the user opens our application on a wide screen, components are displayed side by side. Except the header that takes up the whole width of the page.

If the user opens our application on a narrow screen, for example, on a mobile device, then all components will be aligned into the one column.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create an application with a flexible layout for mobile devices:

  1. Create a project with the main UI class called, for example, Demo.

    public class Demo extends UI {…}

  2. We create a MobileLayout class that extends CssLayout.

    public class MobileLayout extends CssLayout {…}

  3. At first...

Binding tabs with a hard URL

If we have an application that works with bigger UI groups, it's nice to separate them with tabs. For example, we want to show different screens for our Contractors, Customers, Employees, and Help pages. The following screenshot shows the initial page of our application. We can see that the Home screen corresponds to the URL.

And if the user clicks on another tab, the URL has changed.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create tabs bound with the URL:

  1. Create a project with the main UI class called, for example, Demo.

    public class Demo extends UI {…}

  2. We create a TabsURL class that extends TabSheet.

    public class TabsURL extends TabSheet{…}

  3. Now we create an array of UI group names.

    private static final String tabNames[] =
  {"Home", "Contractors", "Customers", "Employees", "Help"};

  4. We use these names for creating tabs. We insert the createTabs() method into our TabsURL class. Each tab contains a vertical layout with a big label according to the tab's name.

    private...

Using Navigator for creating bookmarkable applications with back-forward button support

Vaadin 7 has introduced a new capability for easy creation of bookmarkable applications with back and forward button support: the Navigator.

We will see how to use the Navigator class and what is needed to get it working. Navigator works with views, layouts that implement the View interface.

We are going to make an application with two views. We will be able to navigate between these two views with the back and forward buttons or make a bookmark.

The first view will be the welcome view, which we map to an empty URL fragment, so it becomes accessible at http://localhost:8080 address.

When a user clicks on the Open new Orders button, the orders view is displayed with the orders URL fragment.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to learn how to work with Views in Vaadin 7:

  1. Create a new Vaadin project with the main UI class called, for example, MyVaadinUI.

  2. Create the welcome view that will show a flattering...

Aligning components on a page

Aligning components is easy in Vaadin. We can align them on the left, on the right, on the top, on the bottom, and also center them vertically or horizontally. In this recipe, we will create a demo application in which we can see how aligning works. We will create three buttons in three different positions, as we can see in the following screenshot:

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create and learn how alignment works in Vaadin.

  1. We create a Vaadin project with the main UI class named Demo.

    public class Demo extends UI {…}

  2. We create a class called AligningDemo that is based on the VerticalLayout.

    public class AligningDemo extends VerticalLayout {…}

  3. In the constructor, we create and add all three buttons. The first button is placed on the top left side. We'll do it by the setComponentAlignment() method. As a parameter, we use predefined alignments from the Alignment class.

    public AligningDemo() {
  Button leftButton = new Button("top, left");
  addComponent...

Creating UI collections of components

Imagine that we need to create an editor for the UI design. What is it usually composed of? It's usually composed of the toolbar, editor, and a collection of components. In this recipe, we will create a UI collection of components. When we work with many components, it is good to group them by types. For grouping, we use the Accordion layout.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create a UI collection of components:

  1. Let's create a new project and name the main UI class as Demo.

    public class Demo extends UI{…}

  2. We begin with the creation of a ComponentCollection class that extends the Accordion layout.

    public class ComponentCollection extends Accordion {…}

  3. For our example, we use icons from the internal Vaadin theme Runo because they are easily accessible using the ThemeResource class. They are divided into three groups by size. So we create two array variables.

    private String[] sizes = { "16", "32", "64" };
private String[] icons = {
  "cancel.png...

Dragging-and-dropping between different layouts

Each layout has a different wrap behavior. If we want to try this behavior for ourselves, we will have to create a simple demo. In this demo, we can drag-and-drop components between the four different layouts. We can also change the size of each layout by moving the separator and watch how components are wrapped. If the line cannot be wrapped, a scroll bar appears.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create a drag and drop panel:

  1. We create project with the root Demo class.

    public class Demo extends UI {…}

  2. All four layouts will be inserted into the DragndropPanel class that extends HorizontalSplitPanel.

    public class DragndropPanel extends HorizontalSplitPanel {…}

  3. Now let's insert the createLayout() method. In this method we add buttons to the layout that is taken over the AbstractLayout parameter. Next we wrap this layout by the DragAndDropWrapper class and set DropHandler. Here we implement two methods. First is getAcceptCriterion()...

Building any layout with AbsoluteLayout

If the basic layouts offered by Vaadin limit us, and we want to create some other special crazy layout, we can use AbsoluteLayout. There are no limits in this layout. We can insert components into any place we want. In this recipe, we will create a demo of a custom layout, Circle layout. There are also some reasons not to use AbsoluteLayout. They are described in the There's more... section at the end of this recipe.

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to create a custom layout using the AbsoluteLayout class:

  1. We create a project with the main UI class called Demo.

    public class Demo extends UI {…}

  2. We will create a class called CircleLayoutDemo that extends AbsoluteLayout.

    public class CircleLayoutDemo extends AbsoluteLayout {...}

  3. Let's use icons from the Runo theme. So we create an array of icon names.

      private String[] icons = {
  "cancel.png", "calendar.png", "document.png",
  "email.png", "globe.png", "help.png",
  "note.png", "ok.png", "trash...

Since the Kindle and print version of the books are separate items I've written a review of Vaadin 7 Cookbook here to have it in one place: http://bbissett.blogspot.com/2013/05/vaadin-7-cookbook.html (If linking to my external review is rude here, am happy to copy/paste and remove this).Summary (copied from blog):Overall, this is a great book of examples that cover a lot of common and not-so-common tasks in writing a Vaadin application. For the Vaadin newcomer, this book illustrates the power of the Vaadin framework very quickly. Reading it reminded me of how I felt when I first learned about Vaadin a thousand years ago. For the veteran developer, there will be things you haven't tried yet, especially if you're making the switch now from version 6 to 7.

The Vaadin 7 Cookbook is not a step by step guide to getting started with Vaadin. If you want that, Vaadin's own tutorials and book are more than enough. No need to buy another book.What sets this book apart are the many recipes that solve day-to-day problems you will encounter when developing a Vaadin application. A little experience with Vaadin and a little more experience with Java web applications is certainly going to help you enjoy the book. Furthermore, throughout the book, the authors give their opinion on what's the best way to tackle a problem. In fact, the architecture chapter is almost exclusively a summary of good ideas.This book can serve both as a reference for when you've actually got a specific problem. But it's also a good introduction to some of the new Vaadin 7 features and a treasure trove of small useful tips.So while you might be tempted to just glance over the book at first, it's definitely worth a read-through to pick up on all of the authors insights and practical knowledge.

This is an excellent book for both beginners and more experienced Vaadin users. The book covers wide variety of topics from basics to more advanced topics. The book would be very useful for beginners as it starts with Vaadin basics and the complexity of the topics is increasing with every chapter. There are plenty of examples which are easy to follow. The book would be also handy for developers switching from Vaadin 6 to Vaadin 7. Even experienced Vaadin developers will find new and interesting stuff. So this is a must have for any Vaadin 7 developer.

I am surprised with this book. There are just a lot of examples of my application needs. And a lot of real app's example code. If you are planing to use vaadin 7 you must buy it. If you want to give a try to vaadin 7 you must buy it too.

I apologize that I am repeating this for all of the Vaadin books... these are good books to have if you use Vaadin, even if you take the training courses. Vaadin has become a great tool and it has a lot of features, not all of which you would discover without training, reading or browsing the API docs. And there are a lot of right ways and not-so-right ways to use Vaadin. You don't want to use Vaadin the "wrong" way. Use it right, and it pays off.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
