More than one CUSTOM view (SDK)

[nithril]

Hello,

I want to create more than one custom view which will contains differents domains of the same business logic.

I'm not able with the current SDK to add more than one custom view.

Do you plan to add this type of feature ?

Hi Nicolas,

For now there is a single custom view to which you can provide custom content. We plan to increase the number of custom views and toolbars to which you can contribute.

But what you can do for now:
From the ViewComponentCustomizer you can contribute to an already existing Oxygen view by overwriting its content (and title, icon) with your own content. So you can choose an Oxygen view which is not usually used and replace its content with your own.
Example:

Code: Select all

      pluginWorkspaceAccess.addViewComponentCustomizer(new ViewComponentCustomizer() {

        /**

         * @see ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.standalone.ViewComponentCustomizer#customizeView(ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.standalone.ViewInfo)

         */

        public void customizeView(ViewInfo viewInfo) {

          if("Dynamic_Help".equals(viewInfo.getViewID())) {

            viewInfo.setTitle("MY VIEW");

            viewInfo.setComponent(new JLabel("My content"));

          }

        }

      });

Hi,

Oxygen 12.2 which will be available in a couple of weeks will allow you to contribute multiple views and toolbars from a Workspace Access plugin by registering extensions in the plugin.xml descriptor.

Great news! It will simplify development.

Hi Nicolas,

My post was quite old, Oxygen 12.2 (+ SDK) is already available, we are getting close to releasing Oxygen 13 so you can test the new functionality right away.

Sorry for the delay I forgot to enable email notification.

Ironically I open this post to past it to a colleague in order to show him that Oxygen cannot handle more than one custom view.

But I'm wrong, Oyxgen 12.2 now handles this feature. I will read more cautiously the release notes.

Great works!
