• Multiline center text

  How to center the multiline text?  I have a basic title and I typed in just one line, all looks good, focused correctly. Then I add another line to this text and what is more centered. The first line centered but stayes new line appears underneath and the top line is not upward to accommodate the new line to keep all the centered text.  Is it possible to do instead of the eye?

  According to the number of rows you need and how big do and how great the chassis, I usually do this by moving the base line. Eight lines something like 200 for the HD to the default size, four lines earlier, four below the baseline.

• EditField: protected boolean insert (...) not called if the device uses VirtualKeyboard

  Hi all

  I extend the EditField class to intercept the entries of tank / backspaces and do something. I would outweigh all the methods of the superclass:

  protected boolean insert(char arg0, int arg1);
  public int insert(String text);
  protected int insert(String text, int context);
  
  protected boolean backspace();
  protected int backspace(int count, int context);
  public int backspace(int count);
  

  I tried on a 8520 (which has a physical keyboard) and the methods overridden were correctly when you type something in the field. However, this is not the case on a touch device (tried on a 9380). In this case the text is typed and showed correctly in the EditField custom, but not the method above is called never. I am quite confused...

  Is anyone of you know how to insert text in the virtual keyboard in the EditField? Is it possible to intercept these events?

  See you soon,.

  The problem with keyChar and keyDown is that the char to insert depends on the keyboard layout, I didn't want to do something that it is already done by RIM.

  However, I have tried those overring however, but keyChar is never invoked, and keyDown gave place to a chariot double inserted in the editfield...

  In the end, I followed a suggestion made by @peter_strange in another post (I'll add the link if I managed to find it again) and put a FieldChangeListener on the edit field. When field changes, if the context is 0 (user action), I check if the text is changed and do what I have to do...

  Thank you.

• Possible to click on the URL in the label?

  Hello

  I do an application that can show the comments people have submitted - I would like to be able to allow the user to click a link in the comments and either open the browser or a webview at this link.

  Is this possible? I tried searching but I'm not sure on the wording of my request.

  Way the easiest is the sequel:

  {Label
  text: qsTr ("Plese don't hesitate to provide feedback to http://blackberry.hubalek.net")
  Multiline: true
  Content.Flags: TextContentFlag.ActiveText
  }

  Content.Flags: TextContentFlag.ActiveText does the trick.

• Cannot remove the tank on once implemented editField keyChar

  In simple codes below, there is an editField in the screen. For Storm OS 4.7, once I entered a word in the edit field, I can't use the BACKSPACE key to delete any letter. The only way is to add a letter so that all letters are highlighted. Then only the BACKSPACE key will seek to remove the letters.

  If I set the keyChar method comment, I can add/remove letters freely.

  Did I miss something in the keyChar implementation and this removal of cuased letter is not not possible?

• help with my HorizontalFieldManager & EditFields on the same line, 2nd column is not displayed

  Hi all, I've written a bean (called LabelAndEditField) that sets out a label and editfield as follows

  someLabel

  _________________

  |                                 |

  -----------------------

  It seems to work perfectly when it is the only component on a line of a

  VerticalFieldManager

  now I want to reuse this compenent such that I can have a screen that looks like

  someLabel another label

  ______________              ______________

  |                                 |             |                                |

  --------------------------             --------------------------

  and perhaps a third column.

  However, when you add my components of LabelAndEditField, the 2nd does not appear

  I used a HorizontalFieldManager and make

  HFM HorizontalFieldManager = new HorizontalFieldManager();

  HFM. Add (new LabelAndEditField ("someLabel"));

  HFM. Add (new LabelAndEditField ("another label"));

  then I just on the screen

  Add (hfm);

  but it does not show my second column, the second component of the LabelAndEditField

  Here is the snippet of code below, some can please help me get this to display

  (Sorry, that the code of my insert is wacked)

  public class LabelAndEditField extends VerticalFieldManager
  {
      private EditField _editField;
  
      public LabelAndEditField(String label,
                               String initialValueOfTextField,
                               int maxChars,
                               long style)
      {
          super(NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLL);
  
          add(labelField);
  
          HorizontalFieldManager textMgr = new HorizontalFieldManager(
                  Manager.NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLL
                  | Manager.NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR);
  
          _editField = new EditField("", initialValueOfTextField, maxChars,
                       style | EditField.NO_NEWLINE | EditField.FOCUSABLE
                       | EditField.NON_SPELLCHECKABLE
                       | Field.FIELD_VCENTER | Field.FIELD_LEFT);
  
          textMgr.add(_editField);
  
          add(textMgr);
  
      }
  
  }
  

  and the code that adds as that on the screen

  super(NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLL); // this is a VerticalFieldManager
  
  HorizontalFieldManager rowMgr =
       new HorizontalFieldManager(Manager.NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLL
               | Manager.NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR);
  
  LabelAndEditField col1=
         new LabelAndEditField("some label","initial value",12,Field.READONLY);
  
      LabelAndEditField col2=
         new LabelAndEditField("another some label","initial value",12,Field.READONLY);
  
  rowMgr.add(col1);
  rowMgr.add(col2);
  

  did anyone see anything wrong with that?

  As you can see for yourself, there is no place for the mktShare.  Try to go with FlowFieldManager and no HorizontalFieldManager as a container for your gadgets MyLabelAndEditField and see

  There is another possibility:

  The key in the code I provided is the super.layout (myWidth, maxHeight).  This myWidth tells your EditField its maximum size in pixels.  If you want to further restrict the domain, you have several options.  The only problem is - if you limit it too much, you will not be able to see the rest of the field.  To solve this, wrap your EditField (in which you now don't have to override the layout) in a HorizontalFieldManager (HORIZONTAL_SCROLL) (all this inside your MyLabelAndEditField) and limit the Manager rather than the field itself.  Then your customer will be able to scroll through the left field and right.

  In order to limit your HorizontalFieldManager, give him the width that you want in pixels (add that, as a parameter to the constructor of your MyLabelAndEditField) and substitute his sublayout like this:

  HorizontalFieldManager textMgr = new HorizontalFieldManager(Manager.HORIZONTAL_SCROLL | Manager.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR) {
    protected void sublayout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight) {
      int myWidth = Math.min(_desiredWidth, maxWidth);
      super.sublayout(myWidth, maxHeight);
    }
  };
  

  Thanks to his style HORIZONTAL_SCROLL, the infield will be almost infinite width, so the EditField inside fortunately "will display" all his characters.

  Then, when you design your MyLabelAndEditField, give him a maximum pixel value.  Say, you want three areas in a row.  Take your Display.getWidth (), subtract the margins planned, divide by 3 and pass that value to each of these areas.  Then add them to a HorizontalFieldManager (line2mgr in your example) and check the result.

  You seem to be competent enough to easily integrate my illegible bubbles in your code - let us know the results.

• 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.

• Custom for an EditField method?

  Hello

  I have revised my strategy for this project (a previous publication wrote to ask for the help of tables and by assigning a "ID" to an EditField).

  I wonder if it is possible to create a custom method to the EditField, which is able to store a string or an integer?  I looked at the CustomTextField post (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Stop-edit-field-from-wrapping-text/m-p/25528...) and I found some useful information, but this type of procedure is not covered.

  Here's an example of how this might work (and which might look like the code):

  (MainScreen)
  ...
  int ID = 0;    //integer variable declared
  add(new customeditfield("Text...", ID);  //customeditfield is added to the mainscreen
  
  ...
  
  //customeditfield class declared
  class customeditfield extends EditField{
  
      public customeditfield(String string, int recordid) {
          setText(string); //sets contents using setText method
          RecordId(recordid); //stores recordid using RecordId method
      }
      protected void RecordId(int integer){
          //store the contents of "ID" the variable that was set
                  //when the customfield was added to the screen for
                  //future use
                  //not sure what this code would look like???
      }
  
  }
  

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!!!

  Hello world

  I managed to find a solution after consultation of a text of Java late last night.

  That's what I came up with the option - compatible with your suggestion of Peter!  And you're right - I'll make a change of the variable name as well.

  public class customeditfield extends EditField{
      private String recordID;
  
      public customeditfield(String string, String IdVariable) {
          setText(string);
          setRecordId(IdVariable);
      }
      protected void setRecordId(String ID){
          recordID = ID;
      }
      public String getRecordId(){
          return recordID;
      }
      public boolean invokeAction(int action){
          //I createdthis editfield just to check to see if each
                  //new editfield was storing the correct id variable
                  myeditfield.setText(getRecordId());
          return true;
      }
  }//closing bracket for main class
  

  Thanks for responding to my post!

  Yes, the goal is to connect the data in each editfield to a record in a database.

  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/focus-on-multiple-field-like-task-and-Memopa...

  The thread above gives us the solution that you need.

  check it out... main logical thing is that

  We use below the code snippet in the paint of your field method (i.e., EditField/BasicEditField/TextField) regardless of the domain you use for entering text in this...

  protected void paint (Graphics graphics)
  {
  getFocusRect (new XYRect());
  drawFocus (graphics card, true);

• How do EditFields width and much more...

  Hello

  I'm putting two small EditField on the same line, but nothing helped. I tried setting with as you see below, but it always shows only the first field. Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Here's my simple extention of editfield:

  private final class halfEditField extends EditField
  {
  private halfEditField (label As String, String initialValue, int maxNumChars, long style)
  {
  Super (label, initialValue, maxNumChars, style);
  setExtent (Display.getWidth () / 2, getHeight());
  }
  }

  I was hoping by defining the scope of half the width of the screen, both will not fit on the same line. Should I have tried with smaller width, say Display.getWidth () / 2 - something?

  I don't want it to be horizontal scrolling, even if I tried, but I suppose that is a function of the screen itself main drop-down. Anyway I didn't ' want to scroll.

  A relevant question, it is possible to have an EditField with lable with a different color? I mean real editable rectangle stand out somehow and distinct from the label? The default value is very lame and does not suggest to the user that he is in fact a rectangle to edit it. Again, I prefer to avoid border addign since it will thicken up the field and uses the alarmist real state on the screen.

  I use the component 6 with Simulator 9800 on eclipse.

  Thanks for your suggestion.

  You can't do this in the constructor. You must replace getPreferredWidth() and probably layout (int, int). Something like this should work:

  public int getPreferredWidth() {    return Display.getWidth() / 2;}
  
  protected void layout(int width, int height) {    width = Math.min(getPreferredWidth(), width);    super.layout(width, height);}
  

• Binder EditField in a table?

  Is it possible to have multiple instances of an EditField bearing the same name and are stored in a table?  My problem is that I need the user to be able to enter as many times as they need to in a certain area. E.g.  I have a product number field, they could enter a serial number, or they could enter the 50. So I want something like

  EditField efProductNumber = new EditField ("number of product :","");

  Add (efProductNumber);

  Add (efProductNumber);

  There is other things as a listener to another field of add (efProductNumber) so I would be able to create fields on the fly if needed.

  Any ideas?

  ZC

  Welcome to the forums!

  I assume you have some kind of misunderstanding about the "field name" - there is no such thing!  There could be a member of class/variable named efProductNumber, but it only that contain a reference to an instance of the EditField class.

  What you want to do is probably something like this:

  Vector productNumbers = new Vector();

  EditField efProductNumber.

  The string number;

  ...

  in a loop or a method called at various times somewhere in the code

  efProductNumber = new EditField (...);

  productNumbers.addElement (efProductNumber);

  Add (efProductNumber);

  ...

  Once the user has entered all the codes, it wanted to

  for (int i; I)< productnumbers.size();="" ++i)="">

  efProductNumber = productNumbers.elementAt (i) (EditField);

  number = efProductNumber.getText ();

  do something with this number

  }
