使用GWT Java中的javascript变量

Question

I have defined a javascript variable in head section of html file. Eg var yourName = "Nadeem"; Now I want to utilize this variable in my gwt java file/class/method. But it shows an error: Undefined. Please suggest some hints. Best Wishes.

Answer 1

The trick is to use the right "context" where the variable is defined, ie $wnd :

static native String getYourName() /*-{
   return $wnd.yourName;
}-*/;
