      com.google.gwt.cell.client.AbstractCell<C>
          com.google.gwt.cell.client.AbstractEditableCell<C,V>

Type Parameters:
  `C` - the type that this Cell represents
  `V` - the data type of the view data state

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cell<C>

Direct Known Subclasses:
  AbstractInputCell, CheckboxCell, DatePickerCell, EditTextCell

    public abstract class AbstractEditableCell<C,V>

extends AbstractCell<C>

A default implementation of the `Cell` interface used for editable cells that need to save view data state for specific values.

Constructor Summary
`AbstractEditableCell(java.util.Set<java.lang.String> consumedEvents)` Construct a new `AbstractEditableCell` with the specified consumed events.
`AbstractEditableCell(java.lang.String... consumedEvents)` Construct a new `AbstractEditableCell` with the specified consumed events.

Method Summary
`void` | `clearViewData(java.lang.Object key)` Clear the view data associated with the specified key.
`V` | `getViewData(java.lang.Object key)` Get the view data associated with the specified key.
`abstract boolean` | `isEditing(Cell.Context context, Element parent, C value)` Returns true if the cell is currently editing the data identified by the given element and key.
`void` | `setViewData(java.lang.Object key, V viewData)` Associate view data with the specified key.

Methods inherited from class java.lang.Object
`clone, equals, finalize, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, toString, wait, wait, wait`

Constructor Detail

### AbstractEditableCell

    public AbstractEditableCell(java.lang.String... consumedEvents)

  Construct a new `AbstractEditableCell` with the specified consumed events.

  Parameters:
    `consumedEvents` - the events that this cell consumes

### AbstractEditableCell

    public AbstractEditableCell(java.util.Set<java.lang.String> consumedEvents)

  Construct a new `AbstractEditableCell` with the specified consumed events.

  Parameters:
    `consumedEvents` - the events that this cell consumes

Method Detail

### clearViewData

    public void clearViewData(java.lang.Object key)

  Clear the view data associated with the specified key.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key identifying the row value

### getViewData

    public V getViewData(java.lang.Object key)

  Get the view data associated with the specified key.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key identifying the row object
  Returns:
    the view data, or null if none has been set
  See Also:
    `setViewData(Object, Object)`

### isEditing

    public abstract boolean isEditing(Cell.Context context,
                                      Element parent,
                                      C value)

  Returns true if the cell is currently editing the data identified by the given element and key. While a cell is editing, widgets containing the cell may choose to pass keystrokes directly to the cell rather than using them for navigation purposes.

  Specified by:
    `isEditing` in interface `Cell<C>`
  Overrides:
    `isEditing` in class `AbstractCell<C>`
  Parameters:
    `context` - the `Context` of the cell
    `parent` - the parent Element
    `value` - the value associated with the cell
  Returns:
    true if the cell is in edit mode

### setViewData

    public void setViewData(java.lang.Object key,
                            V viewData)

  Associate view data with the specified key. If the key is null, the view data will be ignored.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key of the view data
    `viewData` - the view data to associate
  See Also:
    `getViewData(Object)`
