Vaadin

Vaadin Maps Example

Google Maps is a Web-based service that provides information about geographical regions and sites around the world.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

1. The tools

  • Java JDK 8
  • Latest Eclipse Mars
  • Vaadin 7.6.8
  • Tomcat Server 8

2. Introduction

In this example we are going to use Google maps from our Vaadin application.We are also going to use an add-on to make Google maps available in our application.
The application is going to load Google maps and then go to a specific location in the world. We are going to create a window with a few widgets to navigate in Google maps using Vaadin.
With the controls we can introduce the latitude and the longitude and then navigate to that place in the map. You can set markers to a specific location and delete these markers.

3. Prerequisites

  • JDK installed
  • Eclipse Mars installed and working
  • Vaadin plug-in installed
  • Tomcat 8 installed and running

4. Set up the project

In the file menu choose File -> New -> Other

01 New Project
1 New Project

Now from the list choose Vaadin 7 project

02 Vaadin Project
2 Vaadin Project

Click next and name your project then click finish.

5. The example

5.1 Configure the add-on

We are going to use this wonderful add-on from here.

To configure the add-on we are using Ivy, but you can use Maven or configure the add-on manually.

5.1.1 Edit ivy.xml

Edit the file ivy.xml in the project root. Then add the following lines inside the dependencies tag.

dependencies

	<!-- Google Maps Addon -->	
	<dependency org="com.vaadin.tapio" name="googlemaps" rev="1.3.2" />

This tells ivy what is the name of the plugin.

5.1.2 Edit ivysettings.xml

Edit the file ivysettings.xml in the project root, and add the following lines inside the resolvers tag.

resolvers

	<!-- Vaadin Google Maps Add On -->	
	<ibiblio name="vaadin-addons" usepoms="true" m2compatible="true" 
   		root="http://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-addons" />			

This tells ivy where to find the plugin. Now ivy is going to download all dependencies needed by the add-on.

5.2 Edit the styles

We are going to use some custom styles in our application.
Open the styles file:
[PROJECT_ROOT]/WebContent/VAADIN/Themes/[PROJECT_NAME]/[PROJECT_NAME].scss

3 Styles
3 Styles

5.2.1 Windows contents

The window’s contents is the client area of the window widget.

Windows contents

	.v-window-mywindowstyle .v-window-contents {
		background: #f8f8cd;
	}

We set the color to a light yellow.

5.2.2 Windows header

The header is the top of the window when we put the title.

Header

	.v-window-mywindowstyle .v-window-outerheader {
		background: #0c2640;
	} 

	.v-window-mywindowstyle .v-window-header {
    	font-weight: bold;
		color: white;
	}

We set the background color to a dark blue and the text white with a bold font.

5.2.3 Error labels

We are going to create two labels to show the input errors.

Error labels

	.v-label-mylabelstyle {
    	color: white;
    	text-align: center;
    	background-color: red;	
    	border-color: white;
    	font-weight: bold;
	}

We set the background color of the label to red and center the text. We also set the text bold and add a border to the label.

5.3 Main Class

5.3.1 Local Variables

We are going to use two local variables in our application. The variable for the map itself and a variable for the api key.

Local variables

    private GoogleMap googleMap;
    private final String apiKey = "api-key";

private GoogleMap googleMap; A local variable to the map instance.
private final String apiKey = "api-key"; The api key from Google.

The Api key is a key that allows you to use the Google Maps product. To obtain this key you need to log in, in Google developers and create a new project, generate the key for Google maps and activate the project.

5.3.2 The layout

We are going to use a vertical layout as our main layout.

Create the layout

        VerticalLayout rootLayout = new VerticalLayout();
        rootLayout.setSizeFull();
        setContent(rootLayout);

VerticalLayout rootLayout = new VerticalLayout(); Creates a vertical layout.
rootLayout.setSizeFull(); Sets the size of the layout to full.
setContent(rootLayout); Sets the vertical layout as our main content layout.

5.3.3 Create the map

We are going to initialize the map.

        googleMap = new GoogleMap(apiKey, null, null);
        googleMap.setZoom(10);
        googleMap.setSizeFull();
        googleMap.setMinZoom(4);
        googleMap.setMaxZoom(16);

        Panel mapsPanel = new Panel();
        mapsPanel.setSizeFull();
        mapsPanel.setContent(googleMap);
        rootLayout.addComponent(mapsPanel);

googleMap = new GoogleMap(apiKey, null, null); Initializes the instance of the map using the api key.

Create the window

        Window mapToolBox = new Window("Map Tool Box");
        mapToolBox.setClosable(false);
        mapToolBox.setResizable(false);
        mapToolBox.setPosition(10, 100);
        mapToolBox.setWidth("350px");
        mapToolBox.setHeight("520px");
        mapToolBox.addStyleName("mywindowstyle");
        UI.getCurrent().addWindow(mapToolBox);
