Veronika,
Thanks for the response.
I've subclassed ByteArrayTransfer but am still getting null event.data
when my DropTargetListener's drop method is called. I also looked at the
native to/from Java methods in TextTransfer, but they just added to the
confusion, so I stuck with Snippet79.java. Here are the relevant methods
from my ByteArrayTransfer implementation that is intended to drag and drop
a List..
----BEGIN CODE----
public void javaToNative(final Object object, final TransferData pTransferData) {
if (object != null && object instanceof List
&& isSupportedType(pTransferData)) {
byte[] buffer = (byte[]) super.nativeToJava(pTransferData);
if (buffer != null) {
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream writeOut = new ObjectOutputStream(out);
writeOut.writeObject(object);
writeOut.close();
super.javaToNative(buffer, pTransferData);
//pTransferData.result = 1; //is this needed?
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
}
public Object nativeToJava(final TransferData pTransferData) {
List list = null;
if (isSupportedType(pTransferData)) {
byte[] buffer = (byte[]) super.nativeToJava(pTransferData);
if (buffer != null) {
ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer);
ObjectInputStream readIn;
try {
readIn = new ObjectInputStream(in);
list = (List) readIn.readObject();
readIn.close();
//is this necessary?
//pTransferData.result = 1;
} catch (final IOException e) {
R2Log.logError("D'oh! I/O error in data transfer.", e);
} catch (final ClassNotFoundException e) {
R2Log.logError("D'oh! I/O error in data transfer.", e);
}
}
}
return list;
}
----END CODE----
Thanks for your help!
Preston

Hi,
Maybe you can show us the code from your DragSourceAdapter as well? Thanks.

Nicole

Sure. All I'm doing in the DragSourceListener is determine what I need to
pass and stick it on to pEvent.data. The DropTargetListener *is* getting
called: I just can't get payload data off it.
Preston
(Edited to remove irrelevant details.)
----TO ADD DRAG SUPPORT----
public static void addDragMetadataSupport(final TableViewer pViewer) {
if (pViewer == null) {
return;
}
pViewer.addDragSupport(DND.DROP_COPY, new Transfer[] { MyCustomTransfer
.getInstance() }, new DragSourceListener() {
public void dragSetData(DragSourceEvent pEvent) {
// .. unrelated stuff here ..
pEvent.data = somethingSerializable;
}
// ..other empty methods..
}
}
----TO ADD DROP SUPPORT---
public static DropTarget addDropMetadataSupport(final Table pTable) {
Transfer[] types = new Transfer[] { MyCustomTransfer.getInstance() };
DropTarget dt = new DropTarget(pTable, DND.DROP_COPY | DND.DROP_DEFAULT);
dt.setTransfer(types);
dt.addDropListener(new MyCustomDropTargetListener(pTable, pType));
return dt;
}
----MyCustomDropTargetAdapter----
public class MetadataTableDropTargetListener extends DropTargetAdapter {
// ..unrelated stuff..
public void dragEnter(final DropTargetEvent event) {
System.out.println("ENTER");
this.feedback = event.feedback;
if (event.detail == DND.DROP_DEFAULT) {
event.detail = (event.operations & DND.DROP_COPY) != 0 ? DND.DROP_COPY
: DND.DROP_NONE;
}
for (int i = 0, n = event.dataTypes.length; i < n; i++) {
if (MyCustomTransfer.getInstance().isSupportedType(event.dataTy pes[i]))
{
event.currentDataType = event.dataTypes[i];
}
}
}
public void drop(DropTargetEvent pEvent) {
// try to get pEvent.data
Object obj = pEvent.data // <-- always null!!!
// what follows isn't relevant because the incoming data is null
}
}

My guess is you are failing on "object instanceof List" in javaToNative. Be
sure to fully qualify the name List because SWT has a List class, AWT has a
List class, java.util has a List class - all of which extend Object.
If the object you set into event.data in setDragData is not of the same type
expected by MyTransferType, then the event.data field in the drop listener
will be null.

Sorry. Ignore my previous post. I just took a better look at your code.
Here is the problem: javaToNative can not call nativeToJava to get the
byte[] for of the data
You need to be able to convert List to and from a byte array. Calling
super.nativeToJava requires that transferData contains the data in a native
format - you have not provided that. You do not have a native format of the
data in javaToNative - that is exactly the purpose of javaToNative.
You need to be more specific about the type of data you are transferring.
It has to be something you can represent in bytes. List is too general.
You need to know what the List contains and how it can be converted to bytes
and vice versa.
