SmartGWT.mobile - Additional/missing FormItems

[bda@celerity.be]

I am really missing two FormItems in order to cover most common situations I would like to implement:

1) NumberItem (right align) with setable Formatter/Parser
2) StaticTextItem (item not linked to the .ds) to add some headings, text content, inside the form

Is there any plan to include this or something equivalent soon ? I am ready to send some chocolate from Belgium as a motivation if required ;-).

Thanks, Ben.

Made my own implementation for "label" item in a form but not sure this is the right way:

package com.nside.moon.client_mobile.widgets;

import com.google.gwt.dom.client.Document;
import com.google.gwt.dom.client.LabelElement;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.Event;
import com.smartgwt.mobile.client.widgets.form.fields.FormItem;


public class StaticTextItem extends FormItem {

	public StaticTextItem(String name,String text) {
        super(name);

        LabelElement labelElement = Document.get().createLabelElement();
        labelElement.setInnerText(text);
        setElement(labelElement);
        getElement().setId(name);
        sinkEvents(Event.ONCLICK | Event.ONMOUSEDOWN | Event.ONMOUSEMOVE | Event.ONMOUSEUP | Event.TOUCHEVENTS | Event.ONFOCUS | Event.ONBLUR);
		
	}
	
    @Override
    public boolean validate() {
        return true;
    }
}

Still need help for NumberItem ;-)

I am so missing a NumberItem ... pleasssse

[Isomorphic]

We've added StaticTextItem plus formatter/parser API to allow custom number formatting. The native keyboard can be influenced by setting the html5 type of the FormItem.

setBrowsetInputType() has been added as a means of easily setting the inputType attribute that controls the software keyboard.
