      • isBackwardEnabled

        public java.lang.String isBackwardEnabled​(IClientSessionGyro clientGyro)
        Returns if the backward operation is enabled or not.

        If a null String is returned, the operation is enabled, otherwise the string is the reason why to operation is disabled. This reason is used typically for developers, logging and debugging.

        Specified by:
        isBackwardEnabled in interface IAppHistoryEntry
        Parameters:
        clientGyro - The client session requesting the backward operation enabled state.

        isForwardEnabled in interface IAppHistoryEntry
        Parameters:
        clientGyro - The client session requesting the forward operation enabled state.

                                        IAppHistoryOperationCompleted completedCallback)
        Performs the backward operation for the client session in question.

        Note: this operation may be lengthy and may not complete in the same thread. This means that the completedCallback could be called from another thread.

        Specified by:
        performBackward in interface IAppHistoryEntry
        Parameters:
        clientGyro - The client session requesting the backward operation execution.
        completedCallback - The callback is called when operation has completed, null for none.
        Returns:
        Default null meaning enabled and the operation has begun (perhaps not completed yet), otherwise the reason string for being disabled.

      • performForward

        public java.lang.String performForward​(IClientSessionGyro clientGyro,
                                       IAppHistoryOperationCompleted completedCallback)
        Performs the forward operation for the client session in question.

        Note: this operation may be lengthy and may not complete in the same thread. This means that the completedCallback could be called from another thread.

        Specified by:
        performForward in interface IAppHistoryEntry
        Parameters:
        clientGyro - The client session requesting the forward operation execution.

        Returns:
        Default null meaning enabled and the operation has begun (perhaps not completed yet), otherwise the reason string for being disabled.

      • setBackwardFocus

        public java.lang.String setBackwardFocus​(IClientSessionGyro clientGyro)
        Sets the focus to the backward UI component if possible, otherwise the VS component.

        Focus is set as:

        1. If the UI component is defined, the currently open panels will be used to verify if this reference matches, and if so, that component will be focused. If it didn't match, or in case the request focus operation failed, the UI component will not be used for focusing, rather step 2 below.
        2. If the VS component is specified, it will be used to set the focus, and perhaps virtualized a VirtualSpace and/or panel(s).

        This method is intended to be used if the programmatic operations instance needs to set the focus from the data saved in this history entry.

        Specified by:
        setBackwardFocus in interface IAppHistoryEntry
        Parameters:
        clientGyro - The client session requesting the forward operation execution.
        Returns:
        Failure string, i.e. null for success, otherwise an error message.

      • setForwardFocus

        public java.lang.String setForwardFocus​(IClientSessionGyro clientGyro)
        Sets the focus to the forward UI component if possible, otherwise the VS component.

        Focus is set as:

        1. If the UI component is defined, the currently open panels will be used to verify if this reference matches, and if so, that component will be focused. If it didn't match, or in case the request focus operation failed, the UI component will not be used for focusing, rather step 2 below.
        2. If the VS component is specified, it will be used to set the focus, and perhaps virtualized a VirtualSpace and/or panel(s).

        This method is intended to be used if the programmatic operations instance needs to set the focus from the data saved in this history entry.

        Specified by:
        setForwardFocus in interface IAppHistoryEntry
        Parameters:
        clientGyro - The client session requesting the forward operation execution.
        Returns:
        Failure string, i.e. null for success, otherwise an error message.
