I have made a custom auto suggest list.
I want to set the selcted value in edit field.
I am using this Place holder text on a AutoCompleteField in blackberry

private int yOffset = 0;
private int xOffset = 0;
public CustomAutoCompleteField(BasicFilteredList filteredList) {
super(filteredList);
}
protected void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
if (xOffset == 0) {
// initialize text offsets once
xOffset = getEditField().getContentLeft();
yOffset = getEditField().getContentTop();
}
String text = getEditField().getText();
if (text == null || text.length() == 0) {
int oldColor = g.getColor();
g.setColor(Color.GRAY);
g.drawText("enter text", xOffset, yOffset);
g.setColor(oldColor);
}
}
public void onSelect(Object selection, int SELECT_TRACKWHEEL_CLICK) {
ListField _list = getListField();
if (_list.getSelectedIndex() > -1) {
final String selectedText = getEditField().getText();
if(selectedText!=null){
final BasicFilteredListResult result = (BasicFilteredListResult) selection;
Application.getApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
selectedText.setText(result._object.toString());
}
});
// selectedText.setText(result._object.toString());
}

Blackberry: custom ButtonField with disappearing focus highlight

I'm trying to create a custom ButtonField, whose focus (the blue highlight color) would disappear after few seconds of inactivity - like in original music player on BB phones with touchscreen.
I've almost succeeded in that with the following example:
Here are the east.png and west.png (courtesy of openclipart.org):
Here is my test code MyFocus.java:
import net.rim.device.api.ui.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.decor.*;
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.image.*;
public class MyFocus extends UiApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyFocus app = new MyFocus();
app.enterEventDispatcher();
}
public MyFocus() {
pushScreen(new MyScreen());
}
}
class MyScreen extends MainScreen {
public MyScreen() {
setTitle("2nd trackpad click not working");
getMainManager().setBackground(BackgroundFactory.createLinearGradientBackground(Color.WHITE, Color.GRAY, Color.DARKGRAY, Color.GRAY));
add(new MyButton(MyButton.EAST));
add(new MyButton(MyButton.WEST));
add(NF);
}
class MyButton extends ButtonField {
public final static int EAST = 0;
public final static int WEST = 1;
public final static int WIDTH = 100;
public final static int HEIGHT = 100;
private final XYEdges EDGES = new XYEdges(0, 0, 0, 0);
private final Application _app = UiApplication.getUiApplication();
private final static long FOCUS_DURATION = 3000L;
private int _focusTimer = -1;
private final int _direction;
public MyButton(int direction) {
setMargin(EDGES);
setPadding(EDGES);
setImageSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
setBorder(VISUAL_STATE_NORMAL,
BorderFactory.createSimpleBorder(EDGES));
setBorder(VISUAL_STATE_FOCUS, BorderFactory.createSimpleBorder(EDGES));
setBorder(VISUAL_STATE_ACTIVE, BorderFactory.createSimpleBorder(EDGES));
setBackground(VISUAL_STATE_NORMAL, BackgroundFactory.createSolidTransparentBackground(Color.GREEN, 0));
setBackground(VISUAL_STATE_FOCUS, BackgroundFactory.createSolidTransparentBackground(Color.BLUE, 100));
setBackground(VISUAL_STATE_ACTIVE, BackgroundFactory.createSolidTransparentBackground(Color.RED, 200));
_direction = direction;
switch(_direction) {
case EAST:
setImage(ImageFactory.createImage("east.png"));
break;
case WEST:
setImage(ImageFactory.createImage("west.png"));
break;
}
}
// display red background on long touch and hold
protected boolean touchEvent(TouchEvent event) {
if (event.getEvent() == TouchEvent.CLICK) {
applyThemeOnStateChange();
return true;
}
return super.touchEvent(event);
}
protected void onUnfocus() {
if (_focusTimer != -1) {
_app.cancelInvokeLater(_focusTimer);
_focusTimer = -1;
}
super.onUnfocus();
}
protected void onFocus(int direction) {
if (_focusTimer != -1) {
_app.cancelInvokeLater(_focusTimer);
_focusTimer = -1;
}
_focusTimer = _app.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
MyButton.super.onUnfocus();
_focusTimer = -1;
}
}, FOCUS_DURATION, false);
super.onFocus(direction);
}
public int getPreferredHeight(){
return HEIGHT;
}
public int getPreferredWidth(){
return WIDTH;
}
protected void layout(int width, int height) {
setExtent(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
}
}
}
My problem is visible, when I first select a button and wait few seconds for its focus to disappear. Then I click on the track pad and while the button is pushed (verified that), you don't see anything at the screen - it doesn't turn blue or red.
I've tried all combinations of navigationClick() and trackwheelUnclick() but can not fix that.
Any help please?
Alex
UPDATE 1:
I've tried the following, but it doesn't work well (focus disappears forever, probably because button thinks it is in the needed visual state already):
protected void onFocus(int direction) {
if (_focusTimer != -1) {
_app.cancelInvokeLater(_focusTimer);
_focusTimer = -1;
}
_focusTimer = _app.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
MyButton.this.setBorder(BorderFactory.createSimpleBorder(EDGES));
MyButton.this.setBackground(BackgroundFactory.createSolidTransparentBackground(Color.GREEN, 0));
invalidate();
_focusTimer = -1;
}
}, FOCUS_DURATION, false);
super.onFocus(direction);
}
UPDATE 2:
A try with a NullField, still not working properly:

I would probably ovverride the drawFocus() method to check a flag _showFocus before calling super.drawFocus(), then in onFocus(), set the flag to true and schedule the Runnable to change the _showFocus flag to false and invalidate (also setting it to false in onUnfocus()). Don't have to worry about canceling timers or anything this way either, as it is just going to change a flag and invalidate, keeping it in the appropriate state.

Splash screen with progress indicator on Blackberry

I am trying to design a splash screen with an activity indicator on it.

In your HorizontalFieldManager that you are adding view to, you need to make sure you are calling super.paint() because it called subpaint() which will tell its child Fields (view in this case) to paint themselves. I see that you have it commented out, so you've probably been messing with that. Also, be sure that you do your background painting before you call super.paint() so you don't cover up the ActivityIndicatorView with your own painting.
Would it be possible for you to go through and clean up the code (removing the commented out code that isn't important) to a point where you would expect it to work so it is a littler easier to distinguish between "trying anything you can" code and "working" code.
