Being very new to GWT, I’m having trouble getting a SplitLayoutPanel to display in Google Chrome Version 24.0.1312.57 m using GWT 2.5.0 and the plugin for Eclipse Juno. To see how it works, I followed the example at http://www.giantflyingsaucer.com/blog/?p=2324 verbatim except for changing RootLayoutPanel to RootPanel and a few other things as suggested in any of the following links:
GWT widget not showing when I use a SplitLayoutPanel
UiBinder and SplitLayoutPanel not displaying
Can't get SplitLayoutPanel working – GWT + UIBinder are driving me crazy
Empty page when put TabLayoutPanel to SplitLayoutPanel
No matter what I try, the SplitLayoutPanel does not display; all I get is a blank page. Any thoughts on what I’m missing? Thanks.
You cannot mix/match like that. https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideUiPanels#LayoutPanels
RootPanel system is older approach and does not fit in with concepts of LayoutPanels.
SplitLayoutPanel should not be used with RootPanel. PERIOD.
