• Identify the index with emphasis in listfield custom

  I'm working with a custom listfield. I would like to know the index of the row that has focus, access from a menu on the screen for customization possible highlight.

  I thought it would be ListField.getSelectedIndex () but it seems that a line is selected only when you click it (or switch to selection mode).

  It doesn't seem to be a simple, API unless I'm missing something?

  Tom

  ListField.getSelectedIndex () returns the index in line with development,-1 otherwise.

  Do you have the code examples to provide?

• ListField and table LayoutManager

  Hello.

  I think that maybe that's my problem.

  I make use of this TableLayoutmanager (that I found on this site):

  public class TableLayoutManager extends Manager{ public TableLayoutManager(){ super(0); }     public void drawRow(Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height){ // Arrange the cell fields within this row manager. layout(width, height); // Place this row manager within its enclosing list. setPosition(x, y); // Apply a translating/clipping transformation to the graphics // context so that this row paints in the right area. g.pushRegion(getExtent()); // Paint this manager's controlled fields. subpaint(g); g.setColor(0x00CACACA); g.drawLine(0, 0, getPreferredWidth(), 0); // Restore the graphics context. g.popContext(); } protected void sublayout(int width, int height) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub int preferredWidth = getPreferredWidth(); int preferredHeight = getPreferredHeight(); Field field = getField(0); layoutChild(field, preferredWidth - 110, preferredHeight); setPositionChild(field, 35, 12); field = getField(1); layoutChild(field, 75, preferredHeight); setPositionChild(field, preferredWidth-75, 11); setExtent(preferredWidth, preferredHeight); } public int getPreferredWidth() { return Graphics.getScreenWidth(); } // The preferred height of a row is the "row height" as defined in the // enclosing list. public int getPreferredHeight() { return getContentHeight(); } }

  And I call it like:

   MenuListField mylist = new MenuListField();
  

  Now my app keeps throwing errors IndexOutOfBounds.

  I've implemented the table layout manager properly?

  In your situation, I think that most of the BlackBerry users expect to see a drill down, where they see a list of courses in a ListField, then click on the course to see more detail for this course in a different window.

• ListField background color / highlight

  I am creating a ListField with a red background and white text at any time accept for when highlighted.  When highlighted I would like to highlight to change to color pink (text remains black).  In the following code, the background color is still red, however, the highlight is never fired.

  Question = new ListField()
  {

  Boolean _inFocus;

  protected void onFocus (int direction)
  {
  super.onFocus (branch);
  _inFocus = true;
  Super.Invalidate ();
  }

  protected void onUnfocus()
  {
  super.onUnfocus ();
  _inFocus = false;
  Super.Invalidate ();
  }
     
  public void paint (Graphics g)
  {
  g.setBackgroundColor (Color.RED);
  g.setColor (Color.BLACK);
  Super.Paint (g);

  If (_inFocus)
  {
  g.Clear ();
  g.setBackgroundColor (Color.RED);
  Super.Paint (g);
  }
  on the other
  {
  g.Clear ();
  g.setBackgroundColor (Color.PINK;
  Super.Paint (g);
  }
  g.setBackgroundColor (Color.PINK);
  }
  };

  If I remove the line g.setBackgroundColor (Color.RED); the work of highlighting (rose) and the text remains black, the background color of the listfield however goes to white.  Am I miggins something logic here?  Appreciate any comment.  Thank you.

          // parameter to make the field non-focusable.
          add(new RichTextField("This is the speed bump screen!", Field.NON_FOCUSABLE));
      }
  
  }
  

  In addition, there is nothing in the ListField that will actually generate an event.

  Here is a simple extension to the ListField which will make "clickable".  In your FieldChangeListener you can use getSelectedindex to determine which line has the focus.

  Please ask if this isn't clear:

  public class ClickableListField extends ListField {
  
      public ClickableListField(int numberOfRows) {
          super(numberOfRows);
      }
  
      protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
          this.fieldChangeNotify(2);
          return true;
      }
  
      protected boolean touchEvent(TouchEvent message) {
          int x = message.getX( 1 );
          int y = message.getY( 1 );
          if( x < 0 || y < 0 || x > getExtent().width || y > getExtent().height ) {
                  // Outside the field
                  return false;
          }
          // If click, process Field changed
          if ( message.getEvent() == TouchEvent.CLICK ) {
              this.fieldChangeNotify(2);
              return true;
          }
          return super.touchEvent(message);
      }
  
  }
  

• ListField: why complexity?

  Hello everyone.

  I'm trying to do something that should be very simple.  I'm doing a ListField, filling and drawing, which was not a simple task.  Now, I'm doing a row of buttons at the bottom of the ListField so that I can load or remove the selected menu item.

  I want the list to occupy the top of the page 300 pixels of the screen and scrolling in the 300 pixels, and I want the buttons to raise the low 60 pixels (locked in landscape mode).

  I tried a bunch of things:

  -paint using graphics.fillRectangle buttons, etc. and catch the touchEvent, but when the list scrolls buttons not painted at the bottom of the screen, they scroll up with the list?

  -make a child class of ListField that redraws the buttons at the bottom of the screen on drawFocus and paint, also sets the preferred height of 300px.  There is nothing to help the situation

  ANY help would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance guys!

  -paul

  I suggest you add your buttons in the status area on your screen (setStatus()).

  The trick here is that you are trying to achieve with fields, you should really use managers to do.  If you need to add your ListField to a manager who is always 300 pixels high (you can use the sublayout method to impose the operation), and let the scrolling ListField statement.  Then you must create a high 60 Manager that you add after the 300 high Manager and you add buttons to it.

  However just add your buttons to a HorizontalFieldManager and adding then the HFM to the status area should do it for you also.

  Give it a go and let us know.

• Touch anywhere on the screen calls the ListField TouchEvent.DOWN

  Hello

  I suffer with small complex issue. In the screen of my application, I have the title bar with a labelfield and two custom buttons.

  Below the titlefield I add a list field.

  Now, I have a few complex features on the field from the list. When I click each line in the list, it should move to another screen I do using navigation, click medium. Now if I touch the rank in the list (for touch devices), it should move to another screen. And if I touch along the line of the list, it will display popup menu (custom, not by default) with option of removal and details.

          mListItem = new ListField(length, ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK)
          {
              long touchedAt = -1;
              long HOLD_TIME = 500;

  And here's my reminder list field:

  public class ListCallBack implements ListFieldCallback
      {
          public void drawListRow(ListField listField, Graphics graphics, int index,
                  int y, int width) {
  
              String strdomOrg = yyyyyyy;
              String text = xxxxxx;
              Font f = FONT_FAMILY_0_SF_AS_08;
  
              int h = f.getHeight();
  //          int height = (listField.getRowHeight() - h)/2 ;
              int height = h/2 ;
              y += height;
              graphics.setFont(f);
              graphics.setColor(Color.BLACK);
              graphics.drawText(strdomOrg, 10, y, DrawStyle.ELLIPSIS, width);
              y = y + h;
              graphics.setFont(FONT_FAMILY_1_SF_AS_08);
              graphics.setColor(Color.BLACK);
              graphics.drawText(text, 10, y, DrawStyle.ELLIPSIS , width);
  
           // use the offset instead
              int offset = (listField.getRowHeight() ) >> 1;
              if (index != 0) {
                  graphics.drawLine(0, y - offset , width, y - offset);
              }
          }
  
          public Object get(ListField listField, int index) {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              return mAccounts[index];
          }
  
          public int getPreferredWidth(ListField listField) {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              return screenWidth;
          }
  
          public int getPreferredHeight() {
              return getContentHeight();
          }
  
          public int indexOfList(ListField listField, String prefix, int start) {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              return listField.getSelectedIndex();
          }
  
      }
  

  Now the question is to come a different way:

  1. whenever I touch the buttons in title field, he calls the listfield TouchEvent.DOWN. Then the click of a button does not work. Instead, by clicking on the title bar, it moves to another screen, which is the feature click list filed.

  2. so I added the listfield at a value for money. :

  m_vfmScreen = new VerticalFieldManager(VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR)
          {
  
          protected boolean touchEvent(TouchEvent message) {
                  int event = message.getEvent();
                  if (event == TouchEvent.CLICK) {
                      if (getFieldAtLocation(message.getX(1), message.getY(1)) == -1)
                          return true; // kill the event
                      else {
                      }
                  }
                  return super.touchEvent(message);
              }
  
              // The regular getFieldAtLocation returns wrong values in open
              // spaces in
              // complex managers, so we override it
              public int getFieldAtLocation(int x, int y) {
                  XYRect rect = new XYRect();
                  int index = getFieldCount() - 1;
                  while (index >= 0) {
                      getField(index).getExtent(rect);
                      if (rect.contains(x, y))
                          break;
                      --index;
                  }
                  return index;
              }
          };
  

  While in the list key of field works. If I touch the buttons in the title bar, it does not. But if the keys become focus, this case they work.

  So I am in dilemma, what exactly the problem. Can someone please help.

  For me, there's a code unepxected in your touchEvent() - getFieldAtLocation().  If you want released supporess presses of field, I suggest you use code like this:

  protected boolean touchEvent (TouchEvent message) {}

  int x = message.getX (1);
  int y = message.getY (1);
  If (x < 0="" ||="" y=""> < 0="" ||="" x=""> getExtent () .width: y > getExtent () .height) {}
  Outside the scope
  Returns false;
  }

  inside the drawListRow...

• How to create a listfield with image and text?

  How can I add images in a list. In addition, I also want to display with the image, a text. How to do?

  Help, please...

  in a listfield you use drawListRow to paint each line.
  You can use drawBitmap to paint a picture and drawText to paint the text.
  There are a few samples on the basis of knowledge, take a peek.

• ListField showing 'EMPTY' by default

  Hi all

  I did added a ListField and adding the lines based on the data. But when there is no line, then by default 1 rank is the display and display 'EMPTY' on this line.

  I don't want to show "EMPTY". How can I restrict this 'EMPTY' to display Word?

  Thank you.

  There is a setEmptyString method, I use it with success.

• ListField selected?

  How do I know if an item is selected in a ListField? The documentation says that getSelectedIndex returns-1 if an item is not selected, but when I fill my list then check if on is selected, the following code always runs if the list contains elements.

  If (editList.getSelectedIndex () >-1) {}

  }

  When I check the value of getSelectedIndex(), it is 0 if there is no selected item, or if the first element is selected and something greater than 0 if the other items are selected. So, what is a reliable way to only do something if an item is selected in the list.

  also, really dumb question, how you define MultiSelect on a ListField?  I wonder maybe if I need that goes out to make this work as I want to and the docs don't tell how to use the fields.

  It seems that the documentation is confusing, as the ListField will return the index of the last selected element.  Take a look at this thread - you can use 'getLeafFieldWithFocus()' to determine the currently selected field and if it is not centered, assumes that the index is - 1.

  See this thread:

  Problem with the ObjectListField

  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/Rim/Board/message?board.ID=java_dev&message.ID=26369

  You use MULTI_SELECT in the style of the constructor - see setting

  Public ListField (int numRows, long style)...

• setSelectedIndex (index) on a ListField call does not set the focus to the index.

  Hi all

  I have a ListField I show in a popup. When the listField is displayed, the focus is not set to the game past index.

  Can someone please tell me what is missing here:

  ListField choiceList = new ListField() {
      protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
      int index = this.getSelectedIndex();
      fieldChangeNotify(0);
      FSApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(FSApplication.getUiApplication().getActiveScreen());
      return super.navigationClick(status, time);
  }
  choiceList.setChangeListener((FieldChangeListener) uiFilter);
  choiceList.setCallback(new PopUpListCallback());
  add(choiceList);
  choiceList.setSelectedIndex(6);
  choiceList.setSize(choice.length, _selectedIndex);
  choiceList.setVisualState(VISUAL_STATE_ACTIVE | VISUAL_STATE_FOCUS);
  

  set the size and choices first, then the selected index.
  If this does not work, try invokelater for the index.

• How to use ListField UI component dyanamically

  Hello friends,

  I am new to the BB

  I want to use the ListField UI component..,.

  I use SDK 5.0,

  in this section I want to add & remove items dyanamically.,.

  So please tell me how can I do this...?

  Thank you.

  Nilesh

  Depending on how you use the field, there are delete and insert options available.  You can also set the size, then the ListField together invalidate().  These options are available via the aptly named in the ListField method calls.  Take a look at it API.

  Alternatively, you can create a new ListField with your updates and replace the existing one with your new ListField.

  Everything should work these options, you must choose the one that is easiest for you.  I admit that I generally use the option replace.  .

  In any case, the documentation, try them and let us know how you go.

• Selects a line in a ListField

  I have a ListField in my application and I want to allow the user to select several lines that are not necessarily side by side.  Selection of lines 0, 3, 5, 9 and 10 for example.  How can I allow this behavior with a ListField?

  Thank you.

  It is not supported, but you can implement it yourself (as selected by hand, paint lines create a method getSelected etc.)

          }
      };
  }
  

  and my problem is when I click on the button that show me ListField and context menu... and I do not know how to disable the context menu open...

  second problem is:
  in this list I generated 4 rows with unique name

  for(int in = 0; in < 4; in++)
  {
  Name = "Name" + in;
  
  String listTitle = Name;
  String listDesc = "Description: ";
  String listDesc2 = "Desc: ";
  
  info.addElement(new ListRander(displayPicture, listTitle, listDesc, listDesc2));
  }
  

  and I want to click on line, so I have to show for this specific line name...

  myListView = new CustomListField(info)
  {
      protected boolean trackwheelClick (int status, int time)
      {
         Dialog.alert(" Selected :" + Name);
         return super.trackwheelClick(status, time);
      }
  };
  

  and I have problem of course that shows me all name lines generated only modified (for example name03).

  can you help me please?

  Thank you

  Stepan

  (1) change

  btnSearch = new ButtonField ("Search");

  TO

  btnSearch = new ButtonField ("Search", ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);

  (2) I would have thought that you want something like

  protected boolean trackwheelClick (int status, int time)
  {
  ListRander selectedLine = (ListRander0 (this.getSekectedIndex ()) info.elementAt;

  String name = selectedLine.getName ();

  Dialog.Alert ("Selected:" + name);
  Return super.trackwheelClick (status, time);
  }
