• EditField listener to check the length of the field

  I have a phone field which is an editfield.

  I could restrict entry to 10 digits in this field to hold mobile digital values.

  But now I want to add an additional post that throws an error dialogue once the user typed a value less than 10 in this area.

  This action must be triggered as soon as the user has typed something and went to the next field.

  Here is my code:

  LabelField lbl1 = new LabelField(" Phone No:            ");
  
         final EditField TextField2 = new EditField("", "", 10, 0)
         {
            //Some statements
         }
  

  TextField2.setChangeListener(new FieldChangeListener()
          {
            public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context)
            {
                if(TextField2.getText().length() < 10)
                            System.out.println("Please enter a valid 10 digit mobile number!");
            }
          });
  

  Help, please. Thank you.

  As @simon_hain said, let me quote myself: "you must override the onUnFocus method.

  protected void onUnfocus(){  if(getText() == null || getText().length() < 10)    Dialog.alert("Text too short!");}
  

• Custom elegant EditField (textbox)

  Hello!

  I was wondering if there is a way to create cute user interface components for our applications. I would like to have something like this:

  

  But the EditField BB is very very ugly. I tried a custom EditField of (http://www.blackberryforums.com/developer-forum/218757-custom-text-edit-filed-vertical-scroll.html)

  But it looks like this:

  

  It's completely is and ugly, not decent for any application. For cute, we should override the paint method and draw a Bitmap simulating a cute EditField?

  public void paint(Graphics g) {
      super.paint(g);
      g.drawBitmap(0, 0,50, 50, Bitmap.getBitmapResource("profile.png"), 10, 10);
      //g.drawRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
  }
  

  If we paint a Bitmap with the height and width fixed, we will see it very small or big if the resolution is changed? For example, in "BOLD" curve with 320 x 240 or 480 x 360.

  Thank you!

  First of all - there is no built-in component like the one you want.

  Second - the article you mentioned has a very harmful code that would avoid you best. I don't know what drunk monkey for the first time getManager () .invalidate () inside the paint, but this piece of code has found its place in more than one article of the BlackBerry UI on the ' Net. Avoid it like the plague.

  Third - you need paint Bitmap image first, then call the super.paint. Otherwise, your bitmap image is painted on the letters!

  Fourth - indeed, the image will be different on different screens. There is a drawTexturedPath method that allows all sorts of affine transformations and the tiles of the original Bitmap. It is quite effective, but could distort Bitmaps. There is also the drawShadedFilledPath, which creates a sort of background gradient. Finally, there are all sorts of classes useful net.rim.device.api.ui.decor package (available since 4.6).

  And finally, the answer to your first question - Yes, there are several ways to create cute user interface components. Here's the complete code for my experience with rounded edge text boxes (it fate multi-line, scrollable vertically)-you can experiment with colors and other things there.

• Impose fixed length validation

  I have an editfield to contain the entered PHONE number.

  I would like to have a fixed length of 10 numbers (not more or less) entry

  How can I achieve this?

  This is my code for phone editfield:

  //Add box next to field for containing input
         HorizontalFieldManager hfm1 = new HorizontalFieldManager();
         LabelField lbl1 = new LabelField(" Phone No:            ",10);
  //Adding 10 here doesnt help
  
         final EditField TextField2 = new EditField()
         {
             boolean _drawFocus = false;
              protected void layout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight)
              {
                  super.layout(Math.min(maxWidth, 300), Math.min(maxHeight, 20));
              }
            protected boolean keyChar(char ch, int status, int time)

                 return true;
                  }
  }
   };
         TextField2.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRoundedBorder(new XYEdges(2,2,2,2)));
         hfm1.add(lbl1);
         hfm1.add(TextField2);
         add(hfm1);
  

  Please guide. Thank you

  If you don't want an initial value, you can use it like this:

  final EditField TextField2 = new EditField(yourLabel, "", 10, 0); //0 means no style.
  

  And, if you want to use your label separately:

  final EditField TextField2 = new EditField("", "", 10, 0); //0 means no style.

• Cursor/Caret appearing does not in EditField?

  I have an EditField which cursor/insertion sign does not appear.  What Miss me?  Here is my code (and I use 4.5.0 and SIM 8300):

  myEditField = new EditField( "", "", 7, Field.EDITABLE | Field.FIELD_LEFT ){
  
  // inner class method to set field size (setExtent)
  public void layout( int width, int height ) {
    int maxFontWidth = getFont().getAdvance( "W" );
    int fieldSize = myEditField.getMaxSize();

  Try this.  Sorry do not know what I changed to your code at random is went through she change things that did not look right.  However, the 'trick' is the drawFocus.

• How together/moving Focus automatically to the next editfield?

  Hello

  I'm working on an application I need four editfield a key field, in these I put the setMaxSize 4, it works very well...

  Now, I want when user enter these editfield four letters the update automatically move to the next field.

  Please provide any reference code or logic.

  Thanks in advance.

  I would like to start by adding the editfields to their own data structure (a vector, for example), makes it easier to access.

  You can crush keyChar on the editfield and check the length of the text, if it is the maximum length call you setFocus on the next editfield (as appropriate).

• EditField with button on a single line

  Hello

  How can I put a text field and a button on the same line field?

  Is there a way to recover the image of contacts to use as a bitmap on the button field?

  How is it possible that it is not a component already built for an edit field phone number with key contacts on the side?

  Another question: is it possible, on the same line, add a horizontally centered label, and a button left-aligned?

  Thank you

  an editfield uses the width full-screen by default. You can change this by substituting getPreferredWidth or by using a custom layout.

  Yes. I use this code:

  if (blackberryContact.countValues(BlackBerryContact.PHOTO) > 0) {
    byte[] photoEncoded = blackberryContact.getBinary(BlackBerryContact.PHOTO, 0);
    byte[] decodedPicture = Base64InputStream.decode(photoEncoded, 0, photoEncoded.length)
  }
  

  I guess that the field is not commonly used and can be developed easily.

  Yes, with a custom presentation: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Create-a-custom-layout-manager-for-a-screen/...

• EditField unresponsive

  Hi all

  Have a problem when I add an EditField, BasicEditField or an AutoTextEditField. I need to hold the button down to get no response even in this case the entrance is all uppercase.

  See you soon

  VerticalFieldManager searchVFM = new VerticalFieldManager (Manager.FIELD_HCENTER |) Manager.FIELD_VCENTER);
  final AutoTextEditField SearchText = new AutoTextEditField();
  searchVFM.add (SearchText);
  ButtonField SubmitSearch = new ButtonField("Search");
  final submitButtonListener SubmitSearchListener = new submitButtonListener() {}
  ' Public Sub fieldChanged (field field, int context) {}
  If (SearchText.getText () .length)< 3)="">

  }
  }
  };
  SubmitSearch.setChangeListener (SubmitSearchListener);
  searchVFM.add (SubmitSearch);
  Add (searchVFM);

  The substitution of these methods to provide personalized key behaviour.  If you want to use the default behavior, they should not be substituted or must call super.keyChar/keyDown, if you do.

• Do white EditFields

  
  

  Not 100% sure you understand this:

  "And there is no label before either."

  I presume you are saying that white includes the label.  That is right.  The field includes the Label and the text.  The code I provided takes the entire field and makes the white background.  So, which includes the label.

  There are two ways to solve this problem:

  (a) use a HorizontalFieldManager, add the label ' as a separate LabelField, then add the EditField with no "label".

  (b) have the code as the beginning of the paint box after the label.  You can calculate where that is using code such as

  textX = this.getFont () .getAdvance (this.getLabel ());

  However, this method fails if you go on 1 line - try it and see!

  Re

  "The white box extends the length of the screen."

  What is too long.  BasicEditField, by default takes the entire width.  You must override the layout to change that.  Search the Forum, this was asked before.

  I deliberately say not everything here because then you learn to do things like this for yourself.  Sorry, just the way I do things.

• How to set the width in EditField

  I have my customEditField, and I put my 40 width and height using (Font.getHeight), to calculate the height. I set the max characters no. 3 when I enter 3 characters in the EditField, I see 3 characters I typed in editfield in simulaors as Pearl curve, but I couldn't see all the 3 characters in 8900, I see 2 characters only, so how do I set the width of my editField

  How can I do this?

  (i) if I have the same width, how can incase I do horizontal scrolling in my edit field

  (II) without using the scroll option, how can I determine my editfield based on my characters length maximum width (i currently use only 3 characters to type here and I need its respective width).

  Concerning

  Rakesh Shankar.p

  Agree with Stephen, here is a code which may help

  int this.getFont ().getAdvance("000") = width;

• Swimming pool series 2 pool length QUESTION

  When I try to start a pool swim, why are my pool length options 0-x yards vs say:

  -vgs 25

  -25 m

  -50 m

  It's ridiculous and if I want to swim in an Olympic pool, how can I ensure training will be recording with precision (laps, distance, same HR)?

  so far, not good with series 2 for fitness addicts. It seems that this watch (like the latter) too focused on activity monitoring for older and/or shape (rings) people and is not good for people who are in need of fitness Garmin-esque data.

• How can I increase the max message length?

  Tried to send an approx. 300 Mbps video via Thunderbird, but got the message that themail exceeded the length of 2000000.

  300 Mbps? Or maybe even 300 MB? By e-mail?

  Are you serious?

  Many e-mail servers have limits such as 10 or 20 MB per message. Some users do not even have 300 MB mailboxes.

  What is the exact wording of the message? I think it's a server, not Thunderbird.

  Do you have Thunderbird not invite you to use the box or similar? Have you tried dropbox or YouSendIt services type?
