Blackberry: VerticalFieldManager Child Element Not Receiving Focus - blackberry

I have a VerticalFieldManger which is used as container to display a custom news feed. The idea is an image (BitmapField) and a title (LabelField) are placed in the VerticalFieldManager.
I have subclassed VerticalFieldManager for some simple custom elements and their behviours, but I have not overridden any methods declared in the VerticalFieldManager.
I would like the BitmapField to respond to touch events and navigation clicks to as to open a web browser to display a desired web page. The issue is that the VerticalFieldManager does not receive focus (I did not expect it to), nor do any of the child elements receive focus.
I have not subclassed BitmapField nor LabelField
Constructor for my subclassed VerticalFieldManager:
public NewsManagerView( boolean _isClickable, long _style ) {
super( _style );
this.setIsClickable( _isClickable ); // sets flag if this should respond to click events
this.init(); // initialize ivars
this.add( this.getTitle() ); // add child fields
this.add( this.getImgFld() );
this.add( this.getUrl() );
}
Which gets instantiated like this:
this.setNewsManager( new NewsManagerView(this.getIsConnected(), Field.USE_ALL_WIDTH) );

This is a known problem.
I started a topic in BB support forum
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Scroll-happening-but-Vertical-Field-Manager-Not-Moving/m-p/1214481
And the answer given was
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/My-scrollable-manager-is-not-scrolling/ta-p/445247
Sorry that is not a real answer but is the only workaround that's available for the moment
EDIT:
In the BB forum a new post added says:
A friend gave me the solution... you can put your manager into an
horizontal manager and then you can just add an nullfield with a
focusable behaviour, This will do the trick
You can try that.

VerticalFieldManager datavfm=new VerticalFieldManager(FOCUSABLE)
{
protected void paintBackground(Graphics graphics)
{
if(!isFocus())
{
graphics.setColor( 0xDDDDDD );
graphics.fillRoundRect( 0, 0, 318, 30, 18, 18);
graphics.setColor( 0x000000 );
graphics.drawRoundRect( 0, 0, 318, 30, 18, 18);
invalidate();
}
else
{
graphics.setColor( 0x005DE7 );
graphics.fillRoundRect( 0, 0, 318, 30, 18, 18);
graphics.setColor( 0xFFFFFF );
graphics.drawRoundRect( 0, 0, 318, 30, 18, 18);
graphics.setColor( 0xFFFFFF );
invalidate();
}
}
protected void sublayout(int maxWidth,int maxHeight)
{
super.sublayout(318, 30);
super.setExtent(318, 30);
}
protected boolean navigationClick(int status,int time)
{
GetPNRStatus(strPNRNumber);
return true;
}
protected boolean keyChar(char c, int status, int time)
{
if (c == Characters.ENTER)
{
GetPNRStatus(strPNRNumber);
}
return true;

How to detect whether field is touched or clicked?

I override the method like this.

new Menu_PopupMenu(position));

However, the button unable to perform push screen and only setfocus() on the button.
You don't have to use the CONSUME_CLICK constructor field, just to get clicks. That determines whether or not the field consumes click events, or lets them propagate to other classes to handle. But, the poster's code is already returning true in his two click handling methods, which also means "I've already handled this click ... don't bother passing it to other Field classes". See more on this here
And as Alan said in his comment, he was already using CONSUME_CLICK, so that's definitely not the problem.
If the Custom_ButtonField class is the same one you posted here, then I am able to get clicks just fine when I use your code. However, there's one potential problem I could see. You don't show your Java imports. Does your TouchEvent import look like this?
import net.rim.device.api.ui.TouchEvent;
There's actually another TouchEvent class in the BlackBerry frameworks, and if you used the wrong one, then you've created a method that doesn't actually override the base class touchEvent(). It's easy to use the Eclipse shortcut to put in your imports, but it's possible to get the wrong one.
I think if you do this, though, Eclipse should show a warning that the incorrect version of touchEvent() is never called.
Edit: by the way, I usually trigger my click handling code on the TouchEvent.UNCLICK event, not on TouchEvent.CLICK. I think that makes for a better UI. The click doesn't register until the user's finger has been lifted. But, that's a minor thing, and isn't the reason for this problem.
What is the parent of your Custom_ButtonField ?
If it is a buttonField, you have to set the attribute CONSUME_CLICK in the constructor

Image gone After Focusing

This is before focus state. It work fine.

This is the second problem just like this I've seen in the last couple weeks.
Background
To understand the solution, first you should understand the basic UI classes in BlackBerry.
First, we have the Field class. A Field is the base class of the normal UI components. If you write a UI component yourself, from scratch, then you would subclass Field:
public class MyWidget extends Field {
However, if there already exists a BlackBerry class that does almost what you need, and you just need to change its behaviour a bit, then you would subclass something else. For example:
public class MyButtonWidget extends ButtonField {
The same pattern exists for the Manager class. If you are writing a Manager from scratch, then extend Manager:
public class MyManager extends Manager {
which involves doing this, according to the BlackBerry docs:
Implementing your own layout manager
If you have particular needs, you
can implement your own manager. Extend the Manager class, and
implement sublayout, getPreferredWidth, and getPreferredHeight. For
efficiency, you may optionally override subpaint.
However, if an existing Manager subclass already does most of what you need, and you just want to customize it, then you might consider extending that subclass:
public class MyHorizontalManager extends HorizontalFieldManager {
In your case, your Custom_TopField is doing all of the required work for a fully custom Manager (see the highlighted quote above from the javadocs). So, there's not really any reason for you to extend HorizontalFieldManager. A HorizontalFieldManager is used when you just want to add() your fields, and have them all laid out horizontally. But, you do that explicitly in your sublayout() code. As it turns out, it looks like your logic is competing with the base class.
Solution
So, what you should do, is have your class just extend Manager:
public class Custom_TopField extends Manager implements FieldChangeListener {
If you do that, you will need to call a different super constructor. Something like this (you might want to pick different style constants depending on your needs):
Custom_TopField(final MainScreen mainscreen) {
super(Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH | Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLL);
Another alternative would be to simply not implement sublayout(), extend HorizontalFieldManager like you originally had, and then control layout with the child fields' margins and long style flags. But, since the solution I gave above requires only changing 2 lines of code, that's probably the easiest for you this time.
Other Problem(s)
I also noticed in your code, and screenshots, that the Download button doesn't show up. I don't know the exact size of all your png images, but if the refresh and download images are the same size, then your current logic is just laying out the refresh button right over the download button. So, the download button is hidden. That's probably not what you want?

Editfield scroll fails to reach top in blackberry

I am having 2 EditFields in my login form with names Email: and Password:. Just below email I have login button. Suppose I come down till login, I can scroll back only till password field.The cursor fails to reach Email field. In simulator, I tried using arrow keys as well as trackpad. Please help how to scroll back to first editfield
AbsoluteFieldManager ab = new AbsoluteFieldManager();
add(ab);
new SeparatorField();
et=new EditField("Email-id:","");
pwd=new PasswordEditField("Password:","");
ab.add(et,35,110);
ab.add(pwd,35,150);
I am using AbsoluteFieldManager and developing for OS 6.0. I want the loginscreen to look like facebook login page.
Kindly let me know what can possibly be the reason for not able to scroll up
Maybe it is a RIM bug with the AbsoluteFieldManager. Never used it before so I don't know about it. You can create a work around to solve this problem. Find it below:
et=new EditField("Email-id:","");
pwd=new PasswordEditField("Password:","") {
protected int moveFocus(int amount, int status, int time) {
int cursorPosition = this.getCursorPosition();
if ((cursorPosition == 0) && (amount < 0)) {
et.setFocus();
return 0;
}
else {
return super.moveFocus(amount, status, time);
}
}
};
In this way, when you arrive to the first element in the password edit field, you will oblige the email field to get focused. This will work for you as a work around.
Another way to solve the problem is to add the two fields in an horizontal field manager, in that way I guess this will work for you for sure. If not use the first method. You can find below the code for HorizontalFieldManager:
et=new EditField("Email-id:","");
pwd=new PasswordEditField("Password:","");
HorizontalFieldManager manager = new HorizontalFieldManager();
manager.add(et);
manager.add(pwd);
ab.add(manager, yourX, yourY);
It also may be a RIM bug. What OS do you use? Is it OS 5+? Do you use custom paddings/margins/borders for some of the UI elements on the screen (including the screen itself)? If yes, try to comment out any code that sets paddings/margins/borders to check whether this it the case.
You can use this code for your login page:
public class loginscreen extends MainScreen implements FieldChangeListener {
private int deviceWidth = Display.getWidth();
private int deviceHeight = Display.getHeight();
private VerticalFieldManager subManager;
private VerticalFieldManager mainManager;
public long mycolor = 0x00FFFFFF;
Screen _screen = home.Screen;
TextField heading = new TextField(Field.NON_FOCUSABLE);
TextField username_ef = new TextField();
PasswordEditField password_ef = new PasswordEditField();
CheckboxField rememberpass = new CheckboxField();
public ButtonField login_bt = new ButtonField("Login", ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);
public ButtonField register_bt = new ButtonField("Register", ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);
public loginscreen()
{
super();
final Bitmap backgroundBitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("bgd.png");
HorizontalFieldManager hfm = new HorizontalFieldManager(Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR )
{
protected void sublayout(int width, int height)
{
Field field;
int numberOfFields = getFieldCount();
int x = 245;
int y = 0;
for (int i = 0;i < numberOfFields;i++)
{
field = getField(i);
setPositionChild(field,x,y);
layoutChild(field, width, height);
x +=_screen.getWidth()-381;
y += 0;//l17
}
width=_screen.getWidth();
height=48;//w19
setExtent(width, height);
}
};
mainManager = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR )
{
public void paint(Graphics graphics)
{
graphics.clear();
graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, deviceWidth, deviceHeight, backgroundBitmap, 0, 0);
super.paint(graphics);
}
};
//this manger is used for adding the componentes
subManager = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR )
{
protected void sublayout( int maxWidth, int maxHeight )
{
int displayWidth = deviceWidth;
int displayHeight = deviceHeight;
super.sublayout( displayWidth, displayHeight);
setExtent( displayWidth, displayHeight);
}
public void paint(Graphics graphics)
{
graphics.setColor((int) mycolor);
super.paint(graphics);
}
};
username_ef.setLabel("Username: ");
password_ef.setLabel("Password: ");
rememberpass.setLabel("Remember Password");
heading.setLabel("Please enter your credentials: ");
username_ef.setMaxSize(8);
password_ef.setMaxSize(20);
subManager.add(heading);
subManager.add(username_ef);
subManager.add(password_ef);
subManager.add(rememberpass);
subManager.add(new SeparatorField());
login_bt.setChangeListener(this);
register_bt.setChangeListener(this);
hfm.add(login_bt);
hfm.add(register_bt);
subManager.add(hfm);
mainManager.add(subManager);
this.add(mainManager);
}
public boolean onSavePrompt()
{
return true;
}
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(field == login_bt)
{
//do your code for login button click
}
if(field == register_bt)
{
//code for register button click
}
}}
What you have described is not normal behavior.
My conclusion is that your code has one or more bugs, in order to solve your problem you should modify your code to fix the bugs. You will then be able to scroll up and down through the various fields.
note: As this question stands it's not possible for me to be more specific about the exact bugs. So instead I will show you an example of the layout you described that would scroll properly and you can use as a default to determine which of your deviations have caused your bugs.
// inside MainScreen constructor
add(new EditField("Username:","",0));
add(new EditField("Password:","",0));
add(new ButtonField(buttonBMP,ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK));

Blackberry Editfield keep cursor on righthandside

I want to create an editfield whose cursor keeps at righthandside of it.
To illustrate if i want to write "blackberry", result should be like this.
<-----------width-of-editfield------>
b
bl
bla
blac
black
blackb
blackbe
blackber
blackberr
blackberry
Thanks
Because of non-sense of lack of reputation thing, i can not answer my own question.
Any way, I found an easy way. width refers to width of the manager which holds this edit field.
editField = new EditField("","",maxChars,EditField.NO_NEWLINE | EditField.NON_SPELLCHECKABLE){
protected boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time) {
editField.setPadding(0, 0, 0, width - (getFont().getAdvance(this.getText())) - 10);
invalidate();
return super.keyChar(key, status, time);
}
};
You will have to create your own Manager, unfortunately. There is no simple or obvious way to do this.
A solution with source code was posted on the BlackBerry forums.
Just like Swati's solution. I did like this:
editField = new EditField("", "", maxChars, EditField.NO_NEWLINE | EditField.NON_SPELLCHECKABLE){
protected boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time){
switch (key){
case Characters.BACKSPACE:{
try {
text = text.substring(0,text.length()-1);
invalidate();
} catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {}
return true;
}
}
text = text + key;
invalidate();
return true;
}
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
graphics.drawText(text,0, 0, DrawStyle.RIGHT, width - 10);
super.paint(graphics);
}
};

RadioButtonGroup issue on OS 6

The following piece of code works well in Blackberry OS 4 and 5. But in OS 6 it does not show "Female" radio button option. Can anyone give reason for this, suggest a solution that work for all Blackberry OS?
LabelField genderLabelField = new LabelField("Gender:");
RadioButtonGroup radioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup();
RadioButtonField maleRadioField = new RadioButtonField("Male");
RadioButtonField femaleRadioField = new RadioButtonField("Female");
private VerticalFieldManager createUI()
{
VerticalFieldManager vfmForm = new VerticalFieldManager();
vfmForm.add(joinf2fLabelField);
firstNameEditField.setMargin(0, 0, 5, 0);
vfmForm.add(firstNameLabelField);
vfmForm.add(firstNameEditField);
lastNameEditField.setMargin(0, 0, 5, 0);
vfmForm.add(lastNameLabelField);
vfmForm.add(lastNameEditField);
emailEditField.setMargin(0, 0, 5, 0);
vfmForm.add(emailLabelField);
vfmForm.add(emailEditField);
passwordEditField.setMargin(0, 0, 5, 0);
vfmForm.add(passwordLabelField);
vfmForm.add(passwordEditField);
confirmPasswordEditField.setMargin(0, 0, 5, 0);
vfmForm.add(confirmPasswordLabelField);
vfmForm.add(confirmPasswordEditField);
vfmForm.add(genderLabelField);
radioButtonGroup.add(maleRadioField);
radioButtonGroup.add(femaleRadioField);
HorizontalFieldManager hfmGender = new HorizontalFieldManager();
maleRadioField.setMargin(new XYEdges(0, 5, 0, 0));
hfmGender.add(maleRadioField);
hfmGender.add(femaleRadioField);
hfmGender.setMargin(new XYEdges(5, 0, 10, 0));
vfmForm.add(hfmGender);
vfmForm.add(dateField);
HorizontalFieldManager hfmButtons = new HorizontalFieldManager(FIELD_HCENTER | FIELD_VCENTER);
hfmButtons.add(submitButton);
submitButton.setMargin(new XYEdges(0, 10, 0, 0));
hfmButtons.add(cancelButton);
hfmButtons.setMargin(new XYEdges(10, 0, 5, 0));
vfmForm.add(hfmButtons);
return vfmForm;
}
I got it working. This is a bug of Blackberry OS 6 that if you have two radio buttons in a HorizontalFieldManager it wouldn't show the second one. You just need to extend the RadioButtonField and use it in place of the original.
class RadioButtonFieldPatch extends RadioButtonField
{
RadioButtonFieldPatch(String label)
{
super(label);
}
RadioButtonFieldPatch(String label, RadioButtonGroup group, boolean selected)
{
super(label, group, selected);
}
protected void layout(int width, int height)
{
int pWidth = this.getPreferredWidth();
setExtent(pWidth, height);
super.layout(pWidth, height);
}
}
