Open URL in new browser window

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hi all,

How do i open a URL in a new browser window in Vaadin 7? It seems there is no more Window.open() method.

PS: I don´t want to use a Link. I want, for example, to open a new browser window when the user click some button.

Regards,

Fabiano

Hi Fabiano, you may take a look at the following page of book of vaadin (scroll down a bit on the page):

Fabiano,

Did you want to open a window for your Vaadin app’s content? Or did you want a window for some other URL outside of your Vaadin app?

For both questions, the answer is
BrowserWindowOpener
. For Vaadin app content in another wonder, pass to the constructor the name of your UI subclass. For external content, pass to the constructor a String of the desired URL.

For more info and example code, see my other Forum
posting
.

There are many ways:

  1. in your button click event, do this:
    getUI().getPage().open(“http://google.com”, “_blank”);
  2. use BrowserWindowOpener
  3. Use Link

But it is not working!!

Vaadin 8.
getPage().Open() did not work.

Using this instead:

        JavaScript.getCurrent().execute
        (
            String.format
            (
                "window.open('file:///%s', '_blank');",
                webAutoTestDeamon.autotestLog.getAbsolutePath()
            )
        );

… but did not work either :frowning:

i know the post is old, but u can try this:

        Button button = new Button("Open URL in new tab"); //need a button
        Anchor url = new Anchor("your link here!!"); // and anchor with a href link
        url.setTarget("_blank"); //this is to open in a new tab
        url.add(button); //add your button here
		add(url);

hope this help you.
