This is the constructor of the class I wrote, the textbox is showing but the label not:-
public StartingTest(String op) {
this.op = op;
setStyleName("mainpanel");
setCaption("Bonus Row");
row = new GridLayout(2, 1);
lblSource.setCaption("Source Profile: ");
lblSource.setSizeUndefined();
row.addComponent(lblSource, 0, 0);
row.addComponent(txtSourceProfile, 1, 0);
this.addComponent(row);
}
Your label's size is undefined. That means that your label's width is only as wide as it has to be to show the label's value. Your label's value is empty so you don't see your label. A fix would be to use setValue() instead of setCaption(). Also you could remove setSizeUndefined() and use the default label width of 100%.

I am trying to create a bit of a unique table in TCPDF as shown below:
Getting the captions, headers and rows setup is easy. The hard part is the "bar".
The bar needs a few things:
Editable X-position
Text
Originally I was trying to use MultiCell; however, I got some weird behavior as shown below:
Multi-Cell:
I believe this is because of the ln settings. If we look at my code you can see that I am trying to create a Cell and then a MultiCell inside of it. Both of these use the have the ln setting to put the next cell below.
I tried setting the MultiCell's ln to 0 (to the right) but it had no visible change.
//multi cell
// extend TCPF with custom functions
class MYPDF extends TCPDF {
// SCC table
public function SCCTable($headers,$rows) {
// Colors, line width and bold font
$this->SetFillColor(0,128,128);
$this->SetTextColor(0);
$this->SetDrawColor(0);
$this->SetLineWidth(0.3);
$this->SetFont('', 'B');
// Header
$num_headers = count($headers);
for($i = 0; $i < $num_headers; ++$i) {
$this->Cell(
$headers[$i]->width,
$headers[$i]->height,
$headers[$i]->text,
1,
0,
'C',
1
);
}
$this->Ln();
// Color and font restoration
$this->SetFillColor(255);
$this->SetTextColor(0);
$this->SetFont('');
// Data
$fill = 0;
$num_rows = count($rows);
for($i = 0; $i < $num_rows; ++$i){
$this->Cell(//Row
$headers[$i]->width * $num_headers, //Row width should be the sum of all header width.
$rows[$i]->height,
//Row's Text
$this->MultiCell(
$rows[$i]->width,
$rows[$i]->height,
$rows[$i]->text,
0, //Border
"C", //Text Align
false, //fill, determines if the background is painted or transparent (false).
2, //ln, 1 = Next cell starts at beginning of new line.
$rows[$i]->x,
$rows[$i]->y
),
1, //Border
2, //ln, 1 = Next cell starts at beginning of new line.
"L" //text align
);
}
}
}
After this I found out about TextField. When I tried this I got just as weird behavior...
//text field
// extend TCPF with custom functions
class MYPDF extends TCPDF {
// SCC table
public function SCCTable($headers,$rows) {
// Colors, line width and bold font
$this->SetFillColor(0,128,128);
$this->SetTextColor(0);
$this->SetDrawColor(0);
$this->SetLineWidth(0.3);
$this->SetFont('', 'B');
// Header
$num_headers = count($headers);
for($i = 0; $i < $num_headers; ++$i) {
$this->Cell(
$headers[$i]->width,
$headers[$i]->height,
$headers[$i]->text,
1,
0,
'C',
1
);
}
$this->Ln();
// Color and font restoration
$this->SetFillColor(255);
$this->SetTextColor(0);
$this->SetFont('');
// Data
$fill = 0;
$num_rows = count($rows);
for($i = 0; $i < $num_rows; ++$i){
$this->Cell(//Row
$headers[$i]->width * $num_headers, //Row width should be the sum of all header width.
$rows[$i]->height,
//Row's Text
$this->TextField(
$rows[$i]->text,
$rows[$i]->width,
$rows[$i]->height,
[],
[],
$rows[$i]->x,
$rows[$i]->y
),
1, //Border
2, //ln, 1 = Next cell starts at beginning of new line.
"L" //text align
);
}
}
}
Finally I thought of using the Rect function to create a rectangle and Text to the draw the text. Using variables I could "glue" the Text to the Rectangle; however, the textfield uses the ln setting as well; furthermore, looking at the actual code there is this line:
$this->Cell(0, 0, $txt, $border, $ln, $align, $fill, $link, $stretch, $ignore_min_height, $calign, $valign);
Seeing as it creates a cell, then it should run into the same problem as MultiCell, as the only difference between Cell and MultiCell in my case is the ability to change the x-position from the left border.
So I'm stuck with this question: How can I draw a "box" that has text and can be pushed along horizontally?
How this is done is not that important except that images aren't an option.
I realized I didn't actually need to have the original row. I could just make due with the "bar".
$this->MultiCell(
$rows[$i]->width,
$rows[$i]->height,
$rows[$i]->text,
1, //Border
"C", //Text Align
true, //fill, determines if the background is painted (true) or transparent (false).
2, //ln, 1 = Next cell starts at beginning of new line.
$rows[$i]->x,
$rows[$i]->y
);
Though with that said it would still be nice to know how to do with rows...
If I use following code to create a UI using Vaadin,
#Override
protected void init(VaadinRequest request) {
HorizontalLayout horizontalLayout = new HorizontalLayout();
horizontalLayout.addComponent(new Label("Why am I not shown?"));
Button button = new Button("expanding button");
horizontalLayout.addComponent(button);
horizontalLayout.setExpandRatio(button, 1);
horizontalLayout.setWidth(100, Unit.PERCENTAGE);
setContent(horizontalLayout);
}
The label I added to horizontalLayout is not shown in the created UI. Why is that? What I expect to happen in this case is the label to take its required width and the button to take the rest of the width. But the label is not shown at all.
Please don't ask me why I want to expand the button. This is just a MCVE and my real UI is somewhat more complex.
The Button has undefined size by default. So space will be shared by the 100% sized Label (by default) with expand ratio of 0 and the excess space of the Button cell with expand ratio 1. So all space is given to the excess space of the button.
Set the Label to have a undefined size with label.setSizeUndefined() and will work as you expect.
Note that relative sized components can lost all his space when using a expand ratio.
For example:
HorizontalLayout horizontalLayout = new HorizontalLayout();
Label l1 = new Label("one");
Label l2 = new Label("two");
Label l3 = new Label("three");
horizontalLayout.addComponent(l1);
horizontalLayout.addComponent(l2);
horizontalLayout.addComponent(l3);
horizontalLayout.setExpandRatio(l2, 1);
Will show only label "two".
Can't find any manual about changing width of taglist element size.
Taglist element is wider than icons I had set. It looks really awful =(
Screenshot: http://s12.postimg.org/fkva7xywd/Screenshot_16_02_2014_16_04_07.png
Taglist element consist of icon, text and gap between them. This gap defined in awful.widget.common.list_update function in line
m = wibox.layout.margin(tb, 4, 4)
Despite you have no text, double gap is still here. To solve this problem you can copy list_update function to your rc file, fix it and send as fifth(!) argument in awful.widget.taglist.
just tell your imagebox not to be resizable, example:
wibox.widget.imagebox(beautiful.clock, false)
or you can even resize you wibox:
mywibox[s] = awful.wibox({ position = "top", screen = s, height = 32 })
you just need to modify height value
or another method using wibox.layout.constraint:
clock_icon = wibox.widget.imagebox(beautiful.clock, true)
local const = wibox.layout.constraint()
const:set_widget(clock_icon)
const:set_strategy("exact")
const:set_height(16)
then, instead of adding your icon to the layout, just add the constraint.
I am a newbie to Blackberry, I was just trying out some sample apps in Blackberry. I tried to create a login page. In that, when I tried to change the width of the text field, the text field became invisible.
The below is part of the code to create the TextField.
super(Field.FIELD_VCENTER);
......
t_username = new TextField()
{
public void layout(int width, int height)
{
super.layout(500, 30);
setExtent(500, 30);
}
};
t_username.setMaxSize(10);
t_username.setBorder(BorderFactory.createSimpleBorder(new XYEdges(1,1,1,1),Border.STYLE_SOLID));
I tried to create a border to check where it is coming or not, but couldn't find it.
PFB, the snapshot:
Overriding the TextField#layout() method
public void layout(int width, int height)
{
super.layout(500, 30);
setExtent(500, 30);
}
is one way that you can set a text field's width. So, I think there's something else going wrong here.
1) Possibly, when you changed your code, your mistakenly removed the call to
add(t_username);
you don't show us where you actually add that field, so if you're not calling add(t_username) somewhere else, it's not going to be visible. Fields must be added to a Manager or Screen to be visible.
2) Perhaps some other code you've written (but not shown) is attempting to do something with a Graphics object. For example, if you're overriding a paint(Graphics) method in another field, you may be changing a color (e.g. graphics.setColor(Color.WHITE)) and not remembering to reset the original color. Possibly, your text field is there, but it's the same color as its background. If this was happening, though, you could still see the text field cursor when you give that field focus. I simply can't tell from your screenshot.
A Better Way
Normally (but not always), it should be the responsibility of the Manager/Screen that contains the field to determine its size. I think it's poor encapsulation to have most fields set their own width (although there are exceptions to this). I would recommend using setMargin() and the USE_ALL_WIDTH flag to set a reasonable width for this text field:
public class TextFieldScreen extends MainScreen {
private TextField t_username;
public TextFieldScreen() {
super(Field.FIELD_VCENTER);
HorizontalFieldManager row = new HorizontalFieldManager();
LabelField label = new LabelField("Username");
label.setMargin(new XYEdges(2, 0, 2, 10));
row.add(label);
t_username = new TextField(TextField.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
t_username.setMaxSize(10);
t_username.setBorder(BorderFactory.createSimpleBorder(new XYEdges(1,1,1,1), Border.STYLE_SOLID));
t_username.setMargin(new XYEdges(2, 10, 2, 10));
row.add(t_username);
add(row);
}
}
One benefit of this solution, compared to hard-coding a width of 500, is that if your app supports portrait/landscape rotation, the code above will correctly adjust the field width as the screen width changes. If you hard-code the field width, the field will be too wide when the device rotates to portrait.
I am using a ListField for my app to show the data in a list. Now my requirement is that i want to increase the row height of the selected item of the list.
For this, i created a GridFieldManager and populated my list using this manager. I then override the onFocus() method of this manager. But, this method is never invoked. As a result i am unable to increase the height of the selected row item.
Please help.
ListField rows are all designed to be uniformly sized, so unfortunately you won't be able to directly change the size of one row. It's possible you can emulate it by setting it so that the row above and below draw a little bit of the focus color at the bottom and top respectively. Alternatively, you could have one field that just stays centered above whatever row is focused. Then redraw this "floating Field" with the information from the selected row.
I got it working. I faked the ListField implementation. I removed ListField and replaced it with VerticalFieldManager. I adjusted its size during onfocus() and onUnfocus() and used sublayout() to change the height of this manager. Its working exactly the way i want.
you can increase the row height/font text/...
as ultimately, all of the api's call canvas's paint methods
how to do:
//try playing with the font_type,font height
Font myFont = Font.getDefault().derive(Font.PLAIN, 14, Ui.UNITS_px);
private class ListCallback implements ListFieldCallback {
public void drawListRow(ListField list, Graphics g, int index, int y, int w) {
g.setFont(myFont);
String text = (String)listElements.elementAt(index);
g.drawText(text, 0, y, 0, w);
//you can increase the height of a particular row in the height parameter.
// if you want it to be specific, put an 'if conditon'
EX: if(index=1)
{
w+=10;
}
}
}
