Probably a very stupid question from a new bee. I'm looking for a solution to navigation back from a page, not by pressing a navigation button, but from code. So in my case by selecting a table row, I open its detail page:
page.openPage(DetailsPage.class.getName());
This DetailsPage has a delete button that triggers some functionality and requires to close the page at the end of all the delete actions.
When using closeCurrentPage() on this DetailsPage I get this error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not close top level page.
What is the proper way to close a page/ navigate back to the parent?
Thanks!
Vincent
I am not very experience with Tabris, but I will try to help.
First of all, check if DetailsPage should be configured as a top level page.
If this is indeed your intention then you cannot close this page (because it is an top level page).
To open previous page you need to implement this on your own.
For example:
opening details page
PageData data = new PageData();
data.set( "previousId", getUI().getPageOperator().getCurrentPageId() );
data.set( "previousData", getUI().getPageOperator().getCurrentPageData() );
page.openPage( DetailsPage.class.getName(), data );
Opening previous page from details page
openPage(getData().get( "previousId", String.class ),
getData().get( "previousData", PageData.class ) );
Hope this helps
As mferlan pointed out, top level pages can't be closed. This document may help understanding why: http://developer.eclipsesource.com/tabris/docs/1.3/working/tabris-ui/

I need to destroy a component on navigating away from it but I cannot figure out how to do it. I've tried clearHistory: true in RouterExtensions, but it doesn't work. The flow of our program is this:
Dashboard > link to Component1
Component1 > Save takes the user back to Dashboard.
If the user clicks the link to go back to Component1, I get an ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError because the memory of the component is still resident.
It is bit tricky to remove a page from the navigation history in nativescrupt angular. I would suggest you to create a modal page for Component1, save it and when user close the modal, take it back to Dashboard.
or you need to handle the change detection manually, for further reading, you can refer here.
I solved my immediate problem by redesigning the page to use calculated values based on the data rather than ui state settings from the ngrx store which, as I thought about it, is a more stable solution.
I left the question up because I was curious if there was a way to remove pages from the navigation history.
I searched on Google and StackOverflow, and I was not able to find a solution to my problem (to my greatest surprise).
I'm looking to display the popup, exactly like when the user click on the icon of my extension, but via javascript.
The idea behind it is simple : On a specific page, I inject a button and add an event listener on it ("click"). When the user click on that button, I'd like to display the tooltip, simple as that :)
... but I can not find anything related to it. Any idea ?
Thank you in advance.
Opening the popup is impossible without user interaction. For good reason too, remember that no one likes popups that open themselves. What you can do is inject your popup onto the site the user is at, through a content script.

As per your description,
On a specific page, I inject a button and add an event listener on it ("click"). When the user click on that button, I'd like to display the tooltip, simple as that :)
I think what you need is just chrome.pageAction, it's similar to browserAction, while represents actions that can be taken on the current page, but aren't applicable to all pages.
I'm writing a Primefaces 5.1 portlet.
It consists in a unique page containing a panelMenu, and I need that it starts with any panel collapsed everytime a user change page (on page loading).
But, if I open a panel, then change page, it will start showing that panel still opened.
I wasn't able to find any option to achieve this goal (e.g. collapsed=true, ignoreCookie=true or something similar).
The only solution I found was the following Javascript code:
PrimeFaces.widgets.myPanelMenu.collapseRootSubmenu(PrimeFaces.widgets.myPanelMenu.headers);
The problem is that this code will collapse any opened panel (so on page loading user is able to see panel menu collapsing animation) but it seems it doesn't store this state in its cookie/localstorage... the result is that on any page loading user can see this animation.
I'm sure it doesn't save its state, because the only way to "solve" the problem is to manually re-open and re-collapse the panels... then, on following page change, these menus start closed (and there is no animation).
I also tried to use PrimeFaces.widgets.sideMenuPanel.saveState() after collapsing, but with no success.
Do you have any idea about?
Thank you...
I found a solution to the problem.
If you read my discussion with Kukeltje (comments on my question), you will find that latest Primefaces' versions will solve the problem.
Otherwise, if you want to avoid upgrade or modify sources, and you need a quick fix based on Javascript only please read the following part of the answer.
It directly works on the component's state using JavaScript.
First of all you need to have a variable reference to your component:
<p:panelMenu model="#{menuBackingBean.menuModel}" widgetVar="sidePanelMenu" />
Then you should add the following JS code on document ready:
var panelMenu = PrimeFaces.widgets.sidePanelMenu;
// 1. On page loading collapses possible opened panels
panelMenu.collapseRootSubmenu(panelMenu.headers);
// following line is commented because it never should be necessary is not necessary (unless unexpected situation I never verified)
//clearSidePanelMenuPreferences();
// 2. Call the "clear preferences" actions on click on two tpe of links: first level are the panel link (used to open/close the menu) and second level are the destination links
// We need to fork also on the first level links to be sure it works after user clicks there then exit from the page in another way
panelMenu.headers.children("a").click(function(){setTimeout(clearSidePanelMenuPreferences, 500)}); // setTimeout is necessary because this event should be fired after preferences are written
panelMenu.headers.siblings().find("a").click(function(){clearSidePanelMenuPreferences();});
The function called to clear preferences are the following:
function clearSidePanelMenuPreferences() {
var panelMenu = PrimeFaces.widgets.sidePanelMenu;
panelMenu.expandedNodes = []; // clear the opened panels lists
panelMenu.saveState(); // store this information
}
Hope it helps
Please check this block of code
PF('myPanelMenu').headers.each(
function(){
var header = jQuery(this);
PF('myPanelMenu').collapseRootSubmenu(header);
header.removeClass('ui-state-hover');
}
);
I prefer to do this in order to execute this method only once and keep the menu option selected.
$(document).ready(function() {
if(location.pathname == "/cotizador/" || location.pathname == "/cotizador/faces/login.xhtml"){
var panelMenu = PrimeFaces.widgets.sidePanelMenu;
// 1. On page loading collapses possible opened panels
panelMenu.collapseRootSubmenu(panelMenu.headers);
panelMenu.expandedNodes = []; // clear the opened panels lists
panelMenu.saveState();
}
});
Actually, I want to store some data in background page and the popup page just show that part of data say Data as a div element created in background page document.createElement("div"). Here, the background page will register some listeners to the tab update and change the Data elements accordingly. What the popup will do is to get that Data and appendit use the document.appendChild(Data).
(The purpose I intend is this will cause the popup changes immediately while the tab updage is triggered.)
However, the elements are shown as usual, what I am facing very headache is I have registered the onclick for the div object in backgroundpage as onclick="chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().somefunc()". However, the first time, all the click will triger the right behavior but after the popup loses foucs and get focus again, all the click won't work.
I try to put something like change the onclick="somefunc()" and leave the func within the script of popup page. And there I want to log whether it is called by console.log("clicked"). Here, something unbelievable happens, the function is succefully trigerred BUT the console is null here, I cannot even call chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage() as well.
Here are a list of questions, maybe very hard to express for me...
1. Whether I can reuse the DOM element from the background page to the popup page directly by appendChild(chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().getElementById()?
2.Will the onclick event registered in the background page still work in the popup pages?
3. What's the problem with the problem I am encountering? I have tried many ways to find out the reason but all in vain at last...
Best Regards,
If you need any more information, please let me know.
(PS: I am wonderning if it is called something like the event propogation, however, I am not an expert in this two pages communicating...)
I have a search dialog that I am popping up and filling with jquery templates. After they make a selection I set a value on the current page. As such I don't need hashTags or anything like that, I just need a pop-up dialog that I can open and close programatically. I am currently opening the dialog with
$.mobile.changePage(dialog, { transition: "slide", changeHash: false });
and closing it with
dialog.dialog('close');
However, in certain cases (when the page is navigated to), closing the dialog refreshes the current page.
Is there a better way to interact with this?
Update:
I think I figured out what is going on. So for some reason, jquery mobile usually keeps 2 pages loaded on the DOM - one of which is invisible, you can verify this by running $('[data-role=page]') in the console. One page is the page you're on, the other is the page that you initially navigated to. Not quite sure why they choose to do that, but there you have it.
So they treat dialogs as a page navigation with a different transition even if the dialog is already in the DOM. Therefore, if you go directly to the page and then trigger a dialog, modifying the current page and closing it works fine - because the original page is always loaded in the DOM. However if you go to another page, than navigate to the page that triggers the dialog, and THEN trigger the dialog it destroys the current page so that the pages in the DOM are the initial one and the dialog. In that case it reloads that dialog-launching page entirely and you never get a chance to make any modifications.
Jeez. How do I interact with the jqm dialog widget directly?
You can try two other things. Both should work:
1 set DomChache
How about overriding JQM to keep the page your are firing the dialog from in the DOM? The docs say you can set data-dom-chache and override cleaning the page from the DOM.
If it only happens when you load this page in via AJAX (vs. loading it directly) you could make DOM-keeping dependend on your trigger page having data-page-external, assign DOM-chache="true" only when the dialog is openend and remove it again once the dialog is closed.
2 override JQM
I had the same problem you described and got it to work like this (requires hacking into JQM though...):
// inside transitionPages function
if ( !$(toPage).jqmData('internal-page')
{fromPage.data( "page" )._trigger( "hide", null, { nextPage: toPage } );}
}
My problem was that pagechanging to certain pages (same as dialog) caused the preceding page (where the dialog fired from) to be removed from the DOM, so I had a blank screen (when trying to go back). I added data-internal-page="true" to the pages, which should keep the preceding page intact and added the if-clause in JQM.
So now pageHide (and DOMcleanup) only fires, if I'm not going to a page labelled with data-internal-page="true"
Cheers!
I think I was having a similar problem. What I wanted to do was based on certain parameters, pop a dialog window on load (with that content on the same page), which they can close and view the page that loaded.
I could get it to pop on load using load, or the pageshow events, but when I clicked close that sent you back to the previous page in history, instead of just closing the dialog.
//target your 1st page content, here its id=success
//the modal content is in a page id=dialog and data-role="dialog"
$('#success').live('pageshow',function(){
window.setTimeout(function(){
$.mobile.changePage('#dialog','pop',false,false);
},1);
}
Its a hack, and just allows the page load to beat the dialog so it gets stuck in history. Then the default dialog close behavior for the dialog works as expected. Talk about a PITA, if they took a little more for the JQuery UI dialog it would have made things a ton easier.
And regarding your question: Have you looked at Jquery Mobile Actionsheet plugin
If you don't really require a page to be loaded, that should be ok.
Also helpful could be Cagintranet iPad popover, although you have to tweak the design to be fullscreen on mobile devices. If you require CSS/Jquery to do that let me know (I'm using this in a JQM plugin I'm writing)
Hope that helps.
