Scroll only single listfield in multiple listfields blackberry - blackberry

Question

I'm new to blackberry and I've a question, I've 3 listfields in a row like
[--------One--------][--Two--][--Three--]
but when I scroll single one, every one scrolls!, how do I restrict scroll of others when focused one is scrolling?
EDIT
// ListFields
HorizontalFieldManager hfmMain = new HorizontalFieldManager();
HorizontalFieldManager hfmFist = new HorizontalFieldManager(FIELD_LEFT);
hfmFist.add(myListView);
HorizontalFieldManager hfmSecond = new HorizontalFieldManager();
hfmSecond.add(hizabListView);
HorizontalFieldManager hfmThird = new HorizontalFieldManager();
hfmThird.add(paraListView);
hfmMain.add(hfmFist);
hfmMain.add(hfmSecond);
hfmMain.add(hfmThird);
add(hfmMain);

The key is that you need to disable vertical scrolling for the Screen that contains all these managers and fields.
Then, you can create one horizontal field manager. And then, three vertical field managers. Put each list in its own vertical field manager, and then all three vertical field managers go into the horizontal field manager.
Here's a simple prototype that I tested:
public class ListFocusScreen extends MainScreen implements ListFieldCallback {
private ObjectListField list1;
private ListField list2;
private ListField list3;
private Bitmap icon2; // for list 2 cell background
private Bitmap icon3; // for list 3 cell background
public ListFocusScreen() {
// Do NOT allow vertical scrolling at the Screen level!!
super(MainScreen.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL | MainScreen.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
// A container for the "row" of three side-by-side lists
HorizontalFieldManager hfm = new HorizontalFieldManager(Field.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
// Do create a vertical field manager for each list, that scrolls
VerticalFieldManager vfm1 = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR) {
protected void sublayout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight) {
super.sublayout(2 * Display.getWidth() / 3, maxHeight); // 2/3 width
}
};
VerticalFieldManager vfm2 = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR) {
protected void sublayout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight) {
super.sublayout(Display.getWidth() / 6, maxHeight); // 1/6 width
}
};
VerticalFieldManager vfm3 = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR) {
protected void sublayout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight) {
super.sublayout(Display.getWidth() / 6, maxHeight); // 1/6 width
}
};
Object[] listData1 = new Object[24];
for (int i = 0; i < listData1.length; i++) {
// generate fake data for list1
listData1[i] = String.valueOf(i) + ". Click to Download";
}
list1 = new ObjectListField();
list1.set(listData1);
list2 = new ListField();
list2.setCallback(this);
icon2 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("octagon.png");
list2.setSize(15);
list3 = new ListField();
list3.setCallback(this);
icon3 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("frame.png");
list3.setSize(15);
vfm1.add(list1);
vfm2.add(list2);
vfm3.add(list3);
hfm.add(vfm1);
hfm.add(vfm2);
hfm.add(vfm3);
add(hfm);
}
public void drawListRow(ListField listField, Graphics graphics, int index,
int y, int width) {
// this same method will be used for custom drawing of both lists 2 and 3
final int PAD = 4;
String text = (String)get(listField, index);
if (listField == list2) {
graphics.drawBitmap(0, y, width, width, icon2, 0, 0);
graphics.drawText(text, PAD, y + PAD);
} else if (listField == list3) {
graphics.drawBitmap(0, y, width, width, icon3, 0, 0);
graphics.drawText(text, PAD, y + PAD);
}
}
public Object get(ListField listField, int index) {
// TODO: normally, get this value from a vector of actual
// data for each list
return String.valueOf(index);
}
public int getPreferredWidth(ListField listField) {
return Display.getWidth() / 6;
}
public int indexOfList(ListField listField, String prefix, int start) {
return -1; // no search support
}
}
Results
As you can see, I was able to get each list scrolling vertically, independently.

You have several list fields into one screen manager and when you scroll down and when this manager is selected, then the scroll event is being sent to all these fields. And all of them are scrolling simultaneously.
I would separate every listfield into its own manager.
