I have a very strange problem at the moment.
Basically when I scroll in a screen, the fields don't get redrawn completely or consistently.
I have a Screen (NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL), with a manager as a titlebar. Below that I have a vertical field manager (VERTICAL_SCROLL) with labelfields. When I scroll the vfm one or two lines of the labelfields, which were already visible, get redrawn. The section I'm scrolling down to has absolutely nothing drawn.
I tried invalidate(), and calling doPaint in a scrollchangelistener, but its actually much worse. It results in the titlebar only being partially redrawn.
In the code below I used a custom FontManager, DimenManager, and ImageResourceManager to return values dependent on screen size. I used a custom BitmapButtonField and ClickableLabel in order to change the state of a field when a click is being held in.
public class BaseScreen extends MainScreen implements StringsResource
{
protected ResourceBundle resources;
public BaseScreen(long style)
{
super(style);
StandardTitleBar titlebar = new StandardTitleBar();
titlebar.addSignalIndicator();
titlebar.addClock();
titlebar.addNotifications();
setTitle(titlebar);
resources = ResourceBundle.getBundle(BUNDLE_ID, BUNDLE_NAME);
}
}

label_title.setBackground(BackgroundFactory.createSolidBackground(0x60223b));
label_subtitle = new ColoredLabelField(resources.getString(STRING_TANDC_TITLE), 0x58585b, DrawStyle.HCENTER | USE_ALL_WIDTH);

while (font.getAdvance(copy_text2.substring(0, i)) + font.getAdvance("...") >= max_length)
i--;

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
I don't think it is possible to do anything but guess at your problem without looking at your code. But whatever your problem is, I am confident that it is based on a misunderstanding of how to use Managers within a Screen. So I recommend that you review the following articles to improve your knowledge in this area and so hopefully resolve the problem yourself:
Start here:
UI Introduction
This provides the Background around Managers and Fields.
Then read this article:
MainScreen Explained
I suspect as a result of reading this article, you may be able to discard your 'title bar' and use setTitle() or setBanner() to provide this function.
I hope this resolves your problems.
A few other points:
In all my years of BB programming, I have never had to use doPaint() to get something painting the way I wanted. I can't think of a situation that this will in fact help. So if you think you need it, try invalidate() instead.
I have used invalidate() when I making a change to the Field that will change its on screen appearance (but not its size). I have used it in a scroll change listener. But it is a method of last resort.
Remember that LabelFields are not focusable, so in OS's before 6, that made them a problem to scroll.
Found the issue. On the labelfields, there was a setExtent(getPreferredWidth(), getPreferredHeight()); that was reducing the size of the area to redraw. Very stupid mistake.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
i'm creating one application in which i get gift images with id's from web server through JSON. When i click on any gift image, it goes on next page where it shows all information of that image (get image information with its id from web server through JSON).
Problem is: When i click on any gift image on page to see its relevant information, it gets the last gift image id every time, i want when i click on any image, it gets the specific image id which i click. How it is possible??
Screenshot of the page is : http://ugo.offroadstudios.com/gifts.png
Here is sample code:
public class Gifts extends MainScreen {
String giftsid;
BitmapField giftimg;
public Gifts(){
setTitle("Gift Store");
creategifts();
}
public void creategifts()
{
//Link URL
String strURL = "http://ugo.offroadstudios.com/api/frndgift/?loginusername=adil;deviceside=true";
webConnection wb = new webConnection();
String res = wb.getJson(strURL);
try {
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(res);
if(object.getString("status") == "error")
{
Dialog.alert("Invalid "+object.getString("status"));
}
else
{
int totalgifts;
totalgifts = object.getInt("totalgifts");
Bitmap listThumb;
JSONArray imagearr;
JSONArray giftsidarr;
String imgname;
Bitmap bmpResized;
for(int i=0; i < totalgifts; i++){
imagearr = object.getJSONArray("gifts_image");
imgname = imagearr.getString(i);
giftsidarr = object.getJSONArray("gifts_id");
giftsid = giftsidarr.getString(i);
listThumb = getImage.getImageFromUrl("http://ugo.offroadstudios.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-gifts-rebirth/includes/images/"+imgname+";deviceside=true");
bmpResized = GPATools.ResizeTransparentBitmap(listThumb, 80, 80,
Bitmap.FILTER_LANCZOS, Bitmap.SCALE_TO_FIT);
giftimg =new BitmapField(bmpResized,FOCUSABLE)
{
protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time)
{
Dialog.alert("giftsid "+giftsid);
UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new SendGift(giftsid));
return true;
}
};
add(giftimg);
}
}
}
catch (JSONException e) {
System.out.println("EX is "+e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
You are always getting the gift id of the last gift in the list because you have created your buttons with this code:
giftimg =new BitmapField(bmpResized,FOCUSABLE)
{
protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time)
{
Dialog.alert("giftsid "+giftsid);
UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new SendGift(giftsid));
return true;
}
};
Your navigationClick() method used the giftsid variable, which is a persistent member variable of your class. You assign this variable in your for loop, so the final value it keeps is the last value assigned in the loop (giftsidarr.getString(totalgifts)).
Although you declare the navigationClick() method in a loop where the giftsid is many different values, the navigationClick() method uses the value of giftsid when it is run. The last value.
There's many ways to fix it. You can use a separate constant value in your loop:
final String nextGiftsId = giftsid;
giftimg =new BitmapField(bmpResized,FOCUSABLE)
{
protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time)
{
Dialog.alert("nextGiftsId= "+nextGiftsId);
UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new SendGift(nextGiftsId));
return true;
}
};
Or, as Signare suggested, attach a cookie to each button that identifies its corresponding gift:
giftimg =new BitmapField(bmpResized,FOCUSABLE)
{
protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time)
{
String giftId = (String)getCookie(); // read gift id from the cookie
Dialog.alert("giftId= "+giftId);
UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new SendGift(giftId));
return true;
}
};
giftimg.setCookie(giftsid); // set the cookie after creating the field
Inside your for loop, add the following code -
giftimg[i].setChangeListener(this);
Then -
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
for(int i=0;i<totalgifts;i++) {
if(field == giftimg[i]) {
// you can trigger your event
}
}
EDIT :-
giftimg[i].setChangeListener(listener);
listener = new FieldChangeListener() {
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
if ( field instanceof BitmapField ) {
for(int i=0;i<totalgifts;i++) {
if ( field == giftimg[i] ) {
// you can trigger your event
}
}
}
}
};
i m writing one application in which i have created custom list field for displaying listview.

i want to put click listner on star image of listfield row
and following is output of abbove code.
I did something very similar to this on a past project:
Background
As Arhimed said in his answer, and as you can read about on the BlackBerry forums here, you can't have full-fledged Field objects within the ListField. The content of ListField rows is just drawn directly in drawListRow() as text, and Bitmaps, etc. The contents aren't Field instances, and therefore, are not focusable.
So, what I did was to replace ListField with a subclass of Manager. Originally, I used a VerticalFieldManager, but I ran into problems with that. I've also been seeing a lot of issues on stack overflow, where people subclass VerticalFieldManager, customize just one small behaviour, and everything starts breaking. It seems to me that VerticalFieldManager works well if you accept its normal behaviour, and if you need something more, just extend Manager directly. Performing layout for vertically stacked rows is pretty easy.
I then made each row its own Manager, and implemented custom layout in sublayout() to place the row's Fields where I wanted them. I could then also make the row focusable, and then a bitmap/button on the row separately focusable (like your star). Clicking the row invokes one action, and clicking the star invokes another one.
I will note, however, that in my app, performance was not an issue, because I only had 10-20 rows. Also, I did have to modify my code to match your example, so consider this code only lightly tested. However, I did build it into an app, so it should perform fine as long as my assumptions, and your description were valid.
Implementation
First, it wasn't clear to me what your ListRander is (you didn't show that code). However, in my code, I need a data class to contain details about one row. It looked like that's how you used ListRander, so that's what I used:
public class ListRander {
private String _title;
private Bitmap _thumb;
public ListRander(String title, Bitmap thumb) {
_title = title;
_thumb = thumb;
}
public String getTitle() {
return _title;
}
public Bitmap getThumb() {
return _thumb;
}
}
Then, I replaced your CustomListField class with my own:
public class CustomListField extends Manager implements FocusChangeListener {
private int _MAX_ROW_HEIGHT = 60;
private boolean _searchable = false;
private Vector _listData;
private FieldChangeListener _fieldListener;
public CustomListField(Vector data) {
super(FOCUSABLE | VERTICAL_SCROLL | VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
setSearchable(true);
setEditable(false);
setListData(data);
}
public void setChangeListener(FieldChangeListener listener) {
// we need to save this listener, because we set it to listen to all new rows
_fieldListener = listener;
int numFields = getFieldCount();
for (int f = 0; f < numFields; f++) {
getField(f).setChangeListener(listener);
}
super.setChangeListener(listener);
}
public int getRowHeight() {
return _MAX_ROW_HEIGHT;
}
public void setSearchable(boolean searchable) {
_searchable = searchable;
}
public int getSelectedIndex() {
return getFieldWithFocusIndex(); // TODO??
}
public Object get(int index) {
return _listData.elementAt(index);
}
public int indexOfList(String prefix, int start) {
if (start >= _listData.size() || !_searchable) {
return -1;
} else {
int result = getSelectedIndex(); // the default result if we find no matches
for (Enumeration e = _listData.elements(); e.hasMoreElements(); ) {
String rowString = (String) e.nextElement();
if (rowString.startsWith(prefix)) {
return _listData.indexOf(rowString);
}
}
return result;
}
}
protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
CustomListRow focus = (CustomListRow) getFieldWithFocus();
if (focus != null) {
// see if the row wants to process this click
if (!focus.navigationClick(status, time)) {
// let our FieldChangeListener know that this row has been clicked
fieldChangeNotify(getFieldWithFocusIndex());
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
protected void sublayout(int width, int height) {
int w = Math.min(width, getPreferredWidth());
int h = Math.min(height, getPreferredHeight());
int rowHeight = getRowHeight();
int numRows = getFieldCount();
setExtent(w, h);
setVirtualExtent(w, rowHeight * numRows);
for (int i = 0; i < numRows; i++) {
Field f = getField(i);
setPositionChild(f, 0, rowHeight * i);
layoutChild(f, w, rowHeight);
}
}
public int getPreferredWidth() {
return Display.getWidth();
}
public int getPreferredHeight() {
return Display.getHeight();
}
public void setListData(Vector listData) {
_listData = listData;
if (listData != null) {
int listSize = listData.size();
int numRows = getFieldCount();
for (int s = 0; s < listSize; s++) {
if (s < numRows) {
// we can reuse existing CustomListRows
CustomListRow row = (CustomListRow) getField(s);
row.setData((ListRander) listData.elementAt(s));
} else {
CustomListRow row = new CustomListRow((ListRander) listData.elementAt(s));
row.setChangeListener(_fieldListener);
row.setFocusListener(this);
add(row);
}
}
if (listSize < numRows) {
// delete the excess rows
deleteRange(listSize, numRows - listSize);
}
} else {
deleteAll();
}
invalidate();
}
public void focusChanged(Field field, int eventType) {
// we handle scrolling here, when focus changes between rows
if (eventType == FOCUS_GAINED) {
if (field.getTop() < getVerticalScroll()) {
// field is off the top of the screen, so scroll up
setVerticalScroll(field.getTop());
} else if (field.getTop() >= getVerticalScroll() + getVisibleHeight()) {
// field is off the bottom of the screen, so scroll down
setVerticalScroll(field.getTop() - getVisibleHeight() + getRowHeight());
}
}
}
}
Finally, one row is represented by my CustomListRow class:
public class CustomListRow extends Manager implements FieldChangeListener {
private static final int _MAX_ROW_HEIGHT = 60;
private ListRander _data;
private BitmapField _thumb;
private LabelField _title;

Usage
This is how you might use the whole list field (maybe in a Screen class):
public class ListScreen extends MainScreen implements FieldChangeListener {
public ListScreen() {
try {
Vector data = new Vector();
Bitmap icon = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("list_icon.png");
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
ListRander lr = new ListRander("Product Name " + i, icon);
data.addElement(lr);
}
CustomListField list = new CustomListField(data);
add(list);
list.setChangeListener(this);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
if (field instanceof CustomListRow) {
CustomListRow row = (CustomListRow) field;
Dialog.alert(row.getData().getTitle() + " was selected!");
}
}
}
In my app, it made sense for the CustomListRow itself to handle the equivalent of your star click. However, for me, it did not make sense to have the row click handled that way. So, I let you set a FieldChangeListener on the CustomListField itself, which is called back when any row is selected. See the example above in my screen class. If you want to handle the row click inside the CustomListRow class, too, that's fine. I laid out a onRowClicked() method there. Search in the code for where that's commented out, and you can reactivate, an implement that method (onRowClicked()).
Issues
My app didn't require list searching. I laid out a sample implementation of that, like ListField has. But, I didn't test it. That's your job, if you need it. I just got you started with the CustomListField implementation (see indexOfList()).
I didn't see what your "nav bar" was for. A bar is usually a full-width item, like a status bar, or toolbar. I don't see anything like that in your screenshot. A nav item might be a little arrow at the right side of each row, to bring up details. But, I didn't see that in your screenshot either. So, I ignored that code. If you need a nav bar, you obviously know what it should be, and can add that to my code above.
I couldn't tell whether or not you just added the star as part of the row's background image, or if you had a separate image for that. I added a separate star.png to represent the star. I would assume that clicking the star fills it in, or highlights it, or something. But, you didn't describe that problem, so I assume you can handle that. If you need a custom field to represent the star, that can have selected and unselected images, just post that as a new question.
You had some code that appeared like it was trying to set the row width to 3x the row height, but that didn't match your screen shot. Most lists are full-screen width anyway. So, I remove that code. My CustomListRow class implements getPreferredWidth() and requests the full screen width. Change if you like.
Unlike Android's ListView the BB's ListField is not designed to have a focusable/clickable fields inside of list items. So any attempt to workaround this will have some negative side effects.
A relatively easy/quick workaround would be to switch to VerticalFieldManager (check this other stack overflow question). But if the list is too long (more than several hundreds, I believe) you risk to "eat" too much memory.
If the app is designed for touch screens only, then you can try to stay with ListField + do some manual tracking of touch event coordinates. So when you detect a list field click (in a way you would normally do it) you can check whether the touch coordinates correspond to the star image area (at least on the X axis). I am not going to invent/provide an implementation, but just giving an idea.
I want to manually display a field.
public class Main_NewsDetail extends MainScreen {
private Custom_FontField slider;
private boolean a;
public Main_NewsDetail() {
super(USE_ALL_WIDTH);
slider = new Custom_FontField(
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_thumb_normal.png"),
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_progress_normal.png"),
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_base_normal.png"),
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_thumb_focused.png"),
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_progress_focused.png"),
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_base_focused.png"),
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_thumb_pressed.png"),
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_progress_pressed.png"),
Bitmap.getBitmapResource("slider_base_pressed.png"), 35, 10, 5,
5, FOCUSABLE);
if(a)
add(slider);
}
public class Custom_NewsDetailBottom extends Manager implements
FieldChangeListener {
Custom_NewsDetailBottom() {
super(Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH | Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL
| Manager.NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLL);
Background background = BackgroundFactory
.createBitmapBackground(bg);
setBackground(background);
fontbtn = new Custom_ButtonField(font, fontactive, fontactive) {
protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
a = !a; <-- here is to control field display
return true;
}
};
fontbtn.setChangeListener(this);
add(fontbtn);
}
protected void sublayout(int width, int height) {
Field field = getField(0);
layoutChild(field, font.getWidth(), font.getHeight());
setPositionChild(field, getGap(), 5);
width = Math.min(width, getPreferredWidth());
height = Math.min(height, getPreferredHeight());
setExtent(width, height);
}
public int getPreferredHeight() {
return 70;
}
public int getPreferredWidth() {
return Display.getWidth();
}
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
int rectHeight = getPreferredHeight();
int rectWidth = getPreferredWidth();
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, rectWidth, rectHeight);
super.paint(graphics);
}
private int getGap() {
return ((getPreferredWidth() / 4) - font.getWidth()) / 2;
}
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
if (field == sharebtn) {
} else if (field == commentbtn) {
Main.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new Main_Comments());
} else if (field == otherbtn) {
Main.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new Menu_Others());
}
}
public boolean keyDown(int keycode, int status) {
if (Keypad.key(keycode) == Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE) {
delete(slider);
return true;
}
return super.keyDown(keycode, status);
}
}
}
Above is the code that display a screen. In fontbtn, When click will change the variable true / false. However, it cannot update instant to display the field slider.
slider is something like seekbar in Android. In android, when click then can setvisibility but not blackberry RIM, so how to control it?
First of all, I would recommend not using variables with names like this if you can avoid it:
private boolean a;
Try to give it a name that's more descriptive, as that will help us understand your code better.
Next, it looks like you are testing the variable a before it ever has a chance to change, in the Main_NewsDetail constructor. So that won't work. Maybe try this in the Main_NewsDetail class:
/** separate boolean used because Field.isVisible() doesn't seem totally robust */
private boolean isSliderVisible = false;
private void setSliderVisible(boolean isVisible) {
if (isVisible != isSliderVisible) {
if (isVisible) {
add(slider);
} else {
delete(slider);
// but, we still retain the "slider" member variable, so it can be
// added again later
}
isSliderVisible = isVisible;
// I'm not actually sure that this is needed. I include it because I can't run this code right now!
invalidate();
}
}
Then, in your button click handler:
fontbtn = new Custom_ButtonField(font, fontactive, fontactive) {
protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time) {
setSliderVisible(!isSliderVisible);
return true;
}
};
Now, this code can work because your Main_NewsDetail has only one Field in it, the slider. If there are actually multiple Field objects (which you probably will have), then you may need more complicated logic. You may want to show the slider in the same location every time. For that, you can record the index of the slider, in the list of all the Main_NewsDetails fields (for example, is the slider the 1st field, the 2nd, the 5th?). Then, instead of calling add(slider), you would do:
private void setSliderVisible(boolean isVisible) {
if (isVisible != isSliderVisible) {
if (isVisible) {
insert(slider, sliderIndex);
You might need to make Main_NewsDetail a subclass of Manager and implement the sublayout() method. That way, you can make sure that if isSliderVisible, you always lay out the slider in the same position.
Try calling Manager's invalidate-method to force a repaint for the managed area:
Marks this entire manager as requiring repainting.
Invoke this method to signal that this manager's entire region requires repainting.
In my application I'm using custom fields, with "set***" methods wich changes some parameters of this fields (background image, for example). thay work allmost fine, only one problem: I'm setting and changing parameters of this fields like below:
record = new UIButton("RECORD", Field.FOCUSABLE, kButtonWidth/3-5, kButtonHeight);
vfm2.add(Record); //I tryed this befor setters and after: no different
record.setBackgroundImage("buttonDark.png", "buttonDark.png", "buttonDark.png");
record.setTitleFontSize(Display.getHeight()/40);
record.setTitle("RECORD");
When the screen with this fields are pushed, my field looks like no setters were called (but it was: I checked this via log messages). Field's state refreshes only after it is focused (I'm calling same setters on onFocus and on onUnFocus, where I have invalidate()). Is there any way to refrash it on screen appear? In iPhone SDK, for example, there is viewDidAppear method, that colled when view(screen) did appear. Is there any same in blackberry? Or any other solution?
Here is my code of UIButton class:
public class UIButton extends Field

if (title.getBytes().length>0) {

int x = 0;
if (horizontalAligment == DrawStyle.LEFT) x = 2;
graphics.drawText(title, x, (height-font.getHeight())/2,

}
}
protected boolean navigationClick(int status, int time)
{
fieldChangeNotify(1);
return true;
}
}
It is a very strong convention in Java to name local and field identifiers with lower case letters. So seeing "Record" as a local variable name is quite confusing.
Without the code for your custom field, UIButton, it is impossible to answer your question here. Built-in components for BlackBerry OS would behave correctly given this sequence of add and sets, so it is likely your custom field isn't following the BlackBerry conventions with layout and painting.
You forgot to change currentPicture in setBackgroundImage(). Try currentPicture = offPicture
or call this.setState(0) in setBackgroundImage().
If you call the set** methods before you add the field to the manager you should not have this problem in the first place. Is there a reason you call them after?
