Injecting EventBus GWT

votes

Trying to inject the eventbus into a component but I'm getting the "has no default (zero args) constructor." error. Any clues what I'm doing wrong? Very new to GIN, so it might be trivial..

Here is my code:

module: 

public class MyWidgetClientModule extends AbstractGinModule { 
    protected void configure() { 
        bind(EventBus.class).to(SimpleEventBus.class).in(Singleton.class); 
    } 
}

injector: 

@GinModules(MyWidgetClientModule.class) 
public interface MyWidgetGinjector extends Ginjector { 

}

and the component I trying to inject: 

public class I18NLabel extends Label implements ChangeLanguageEventHandler{ 

  private final SimpleEventBus eventBus; 
    private String key; 

    @Inject 
    public I18NLabel(SimpleEventBus eventBus) { 
        this.eventBus = eventBus; 
    } 
...

It gives me this error log:

When you declare a widget in a UiBinder, GWT tries to instantiate it with the default zero-arg constructor. Since your new Widget doesn't have a no-arg constructor, the UiBinder methods fail.

You can look into the @UiConstructor and @UiField(provided=true) annotations, but neither will give you a very elegant solution for this. You may be better off programmatically declaring your widget and inserting it into your layout in Java. If you do want to keep using the UiBinder, you can do something like

@UiField(provided=true)
protected I18NLabel theLabel;

public MyCompositeWidgetDefinedByUiBinder()
{
   theLabel = new I18NLabel(eventBusToInject);
   initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUI(this));
}

but there's no elegant way to inject an object through a UiBinder other than this.

Probably a bit late on this one but you were injecting the implementation as opposed to the interface. Try just injecting EventBus instead of SimpleEventBus. GIN will know to use the right one because you bound it in your module.

I assume your SimpleEventBus does not have a zero-arg constructor? So Gin can not instatiate it because it does not know how (which args to use).

In this case add this to MyWidgetClientModule:

// assuming you only need one event bus in whole app
// use appropriate "args.." 
private static final SimpleEventBus eventBus = new SimpleEventBus(args..);

@Provides
SimpleEventBus provideEventBus() {
    return eventBus;
}
