Is there any possibility to create ImageResource instance by resource file name (or other string identifier)?

[eugene.bochkov]

Hello guys,

Is there any possibility to create ImageResource instance by resource
file name (or other string identifier)?

As far as I undestand the common way to retrieve an instance of
ImageResource for some image is an appropriate method call like:

public interface MyResources extends ClientBundle {

@Source("foo.png")
ImageResource foo();
}

// Elsewhere in code:
MyResources res = GWT.create(MyResources.class);
Image fooImage = res.foo();

I've faced with a situation where the common approach in not
convinient. For example I need to create virtual keyboard. Obviously
for this purpose I need quite big number of small images. As I
understand it's right case for using ClientBundle mechanism.

And I need to place all this key images on the keyboard panel. Without
ClientBundle I would use something like that:

for (int i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) {
Image img = new Image(appBaseUrl + "/img/"+keys[i] + ".png");
keysPanel.add(img);
}

Unfortunatelly I can't find similar solution with ImageResource.

I will be pleased for any ideas that help to build up similar solution
based on ImageResource

Thanks with advanced.

Is it possible to create the keyboard with some Div's and CSS? Seems that you might not need images at all.

You can make a code generator for this interface if you don't want to just copy/paste and hard code these entries, but that would likely prove complex and difficult to test. I'd suggest CTRL+ALT+DOWN in Eclipse 7 times (2^7) to get the 104+ keys?

Sincerely,

Joseph
