This is my code for Chrome to handle paste event:
window.addEventListener("paste",processEvent);
function processEvent(e) {
console.log("paste event!");
}
This code works fine except that the event is fired many times even if I press the CTRL+V
command just once. What could be the reason? And how can I prevent this from happening as its very important that the handler to fire just once per press of the paste command.
Update:
I logged to the console and here is what I mean:
paste event!
clipboard from event
item found: 0 kind=file type=image/png
found image!
paste event!
clipboard from event
item found: 0 kind=file type=image/png
found image!
paste event!
clipboard from event
item found: 0 kind=file type=image/png
found image!
Notice how the same event is fired 3 times.
Update 2:
This code is actually a GWT code wrapped around JSNI:
public native void pasteEventHandler()/*-{
window.addEventListener("paste",processEvent);
function processEvent(e) {
console.log("paste event!");
}
}-*/;
And is called during @PostConstruct of the app:
@PostConstruct
public void setup() {
pasteEventHandler();
}
When the paste event occurs the "page" with transition to another page (from #Page1 to #Page2. When the page transition back to #Page1, the setup() method is fired up.
