Element in com.google.gwt.user.client has been deprecated

Question

I migrated to gwt 2.8.1 and I am using gxt 2.2.5

I have this line of code that is causing the wanrning mentionned on the title

El el = new El((Element) grid.getView().getRow(Model))

getRow() return type is com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element

El is com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.core.EL and parameter type is com.google.gwt.user.client.Element.

The issue is that com.google.gwt.user.client.Element was deprecated and replaced by com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element.

Will the code will still be working?

Is there a workaround to get rid of this warning?

Answer 1

After searching I found that the com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.core.El class has two constructors, so I may be using this method:

El el = new El(gridView().gerRow(model).getString))

is it reliable?

Answer 2

The deprecated Element extends the not-deprecated Element, so the code is still working, but you have many warnings in your files.
