Need help resizing non-smartgwt component when it becomes smaller than on page-load

[mathias]

Hello. My problem: I have a Google MapWidget. That i have in a Hlayout. I want to resize it when browser changes size. But, i can only make it expand and collapse from the initial width/height. If becomes larger, the layout&map expands, if it then shrinks it shrinks until it has the initial size upon page load, then it stays that way.

If i don't add the mapwidget as a child in the layout, it expands and shrinks as expected. But if i add the mapwidget, i stop getting resize calls whenever the layout becomes smaller than initial.
(as you can see i'm calling addChild, but i couldn't see any difference with addMember)

I am hoping that someone has an idea as to how i can fix this. My class below:

public class MapLayout extends HLayout {

    protected MapWidget map;

   ........

    public MapLayout(final String mapId, String circleFillColour, double circleOpacity, MapOptions options) {
        setID(mapId);

        //we want to make sure that the map always takes up the entire layout, since it doesn't scale automatically.
        addResizedHandler(e -> {
            map.setPixelSize(getWidth(), getHeight());
            map.triggerResize();
        });

        //i have tried lots of different variants here, which hasn't made it work. 
        setMinWidth(50);
        setMinHeight(50);
        setWidth100();
        setHeight100();
        setBorder("3px solid blue");
        setMargin(0);
        setPadding(0);
        setMembersMargin(0);

        this.circleFillColour = circleFillColour;
        this.circleOpacity = circleOpacity;


        map = createMap((options != null ? options : MapConstants.getDefaultOptions()));
        map.setWidth("100%");
        map.setHeight("100%");
        setCenter(MapConstants.DEFAULT_LAT, MapConstants.DEFAULT_LON);
        addChild(map);
    }

It looks like you haven't read the DOM Integration overview, which provides a whole set of strategies for situations like this. Pay close attention to the Overflow handling section as well.
