Re: Experience with GWT on Mobile
I have been using GWT for many years to create hybrid applications, targeting iOS phones and Android phones and tablet, using third party frameworks like : - GWT-Phonegap https://code.google.com/p/gwt-phonegap/ ( Cordova https://cordova.apache.org/ wrapper of Daniel KURKA ) - mgwt http://www.m-gwt.com/(mobile UI of Daniel KURKA ) - PWT http://pwt.putnami.org/ (Bootstrap http://getbootstrap.com/wrapper and much more of Putnami team) Best regards, Stéphane.

Re: Experience with GWT on Mobile
Note that GWT can also be used to build 100% native mobile apps. Not hybrid.

Re: Experience with GWT on Mobile
Hi, In one project of mine we are continuously testing against mobile tablets and phones. We lack the resources for a proper mobile port so we are trying to be decent enough. In my experience the problem is not the GWT generated code. The compiler brings sanity to any medium project by simply allowing refactoring due to java tooling and static typing. This is very nice and not a source of problems. The problems lies to the widget set. It is old and was designed in the desktop era and it shows in the mobile. It works but it feels clunky... and that makes the experience non optimal. Some walls I hit my head against in no specific order. 1) Touch interface works through mouse emulation. This should be enough for the most common cases. My application didn't fit that bill and I had to hunt down the order of various events in various browsers and emulators to get it right. 2) Popups are implying body as parent. This doesn't fly with fullscreen divs and a gwt application as a widget in general. - https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3855 - https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=8538 3) MenuItems are based on popups - No menus in div fullscreen mode 4) MenuItems and most other widgets (DisclosurePanel, TablLayoutPanel) are not nice from an aesthetic point of view. You can customize it a lot through css but I believe a new responsive widget set is required to modernize them 5) Popups and DialogBoxes are based on tables and they taking their size inside-out which is what you want half the times. Furthermore tables are completely non-responsive and obsolete design that css cannot change its basic layout characteristics. In my experience every GWT widget I have used led to a huge backlash that forced me change it so in the end I try to not depend on GWT widgets. As you may understand I am still depending in MenuItems and Popups :-) and LayoutPanels I don't want to be overly negative. The GWT widget systems had its moments. The LayoutPanels and the ProvidesResize/RequiresResize chain was a moment of genius. Sometimes it is hard as hell to find where the chain is breaking (especially if you are inexperienced in GWT) but the idea is solid. With some machinery it maybe possible to provide some hints... UIBinder is another of these cool ideas that makes GWT a success in my eyes. All in all I think the GWT team is doing the right thing that deprecating the widget set for GWT 3. Maybe with @jsinterop it would be easier to employ modern javascript eye candy libraries for UI. And yes it may be the right thing but it will be pretty painful for me although my exposure to GWT widgets has been kept minimal. Just my 2cents.

Re: Experience with GWT on Mobile
My applications are working perfectly fine on iOS and Android. But I'm not using GWT standard widgets. Instead I'm using jQuery Mobile ones, see https://github.com/jqm4gwt/jqm4gwt On Thursday, August 6, 2015 at 6:34:08 AM UTC-7, nestorjb wrote: Hi I wanted to know if anyone had experience running GWT on mobile devices.

Hi Vassillis Thanks for all that great information. I use UIBinder and design all the HTML instead of using widgets.
