How to set Date Format in GXT RowEditing?

Straight to the problem. I have a 6-columns grid, one of those 6 fields being a date. While editing is enabled DateCell is not editable, as intended, but it changes its display format from "dd/mm/yyyy", as stated in ColumnConfig, to a non-specified anywhere full date format.

How to resolve this?

Obviously I can't treat dates as strings, as I thought at first, because I'm going to lose all the possible filtering on date.

Did you try something like that?

DateTimeFormat dtf = DateTimeFormat.getFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss");

DateField df = new DateField();
df.setPropertyEditor(new DateTimePropertyEditor(dtf));

Cell c = new DateCell(DateTimeFormat.getFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"));
grid.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setCell(c);

editing.addEditor(df);

Hope it will help. It worked for me.

EDIT: Set column date format without making cell editable.

You should try that:

ColumnConfig<Plant, Date> date = editableGrid.getColumnModel().getColumn(3);
rowEditing.addRenderer(date, new AbstractSafeHtmlRenderer<Date>() {
    @Override
    public SafeHtml render(Date object) {
        SafeHtmlBuilder builder = new SafeHtmlBuilder();
        DateTimeFormat df = DateTimeFormat.getFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
        builder.appendHtmlConstant("<div qtip='" + Format.htmlEncode(object.toString()) + "'>" + df.format(object)
                + "</div>");
        return builder.toSafeHtml();
    }
});
