About ListField in Blackberry - blackberry

Plz give the code or function how to clear the ListField and update the ListField .
Suppose i want to display some multiple text( Project Name, Project Manager )extracted from JSON object , in a ListField.
I am able to display this strings in the ListField but one more feature i need to add ie.. above the ListField there should be a ButtonField and when the user clicks on the ButtonField the ListField should display the string in sorted manner base on Project Name. So i need to clear the ListField

}
one more thing i need to clearify is that in my above code firstly i have parsed the JSON object in NetworkingMainScreen and if the JSON parsing is success i have push a new screen name Screen2 passing the stored Vector to the Screen2. The Screen2 performs ListField drawings or should i perform the ListField drawing in NetworkingMainScreen class only.
For details about the items i need to display plz look **http://iphone.openmetrics.com/apps/mattson/api.html?action=login&user=Nathan&password=coffee00&server=exp.lcgpence.com&output=data**

Implement ListFieldCallback in your screen, you can then handle the drawing of your rows however you want in drawListRow.

BlackBerry Java Plugin for Eclipse - .net web service

I have a web service that accepts a username and password and if the login credentials are correct, it returns the user's name, status, image and last known gps coordinates.
As for now I am stuck in the "login" button where the application neither proceeds nor throws any error. Simulator produces no result and I am unable to load the app on to my handset.

In the code you posted, nothing is ever setup to respond to your login button being pressed.
First of all, let's remove this anonymous class that implements FieldChangeListener:
FieldChangeListener btnlistener = new FieldChangeListener() {
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
and make it like this:
private class LoginButtonListener implements FieldChangeListener {
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
// no change to the content of this method!
}
}
and in the constructor for LoginTestScreen, instantiate it, and hook it up to the login button:
loginBtn = new ButtonField("Login", ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);
loginBtn.setChangeListener(new LoginButtonListener());
it looks like you were close, in the commented out code. Just needed a little more. Try that, and report back!
Note: you could make it work with the anonymous button listener class you originally had. I just don't like the readability of anonymous classes when they get that big, especially since your btnListener member was declared in a totally different place than all your other ones. The real missing piece was the call to setChangeListener. I just wanted to differentiate what I'm recommending, from what's needed.

Refreshing Table Model Adapter on deleting record from it : Blackberry

I m creating a Table Model Adapter in Blackberry.(**This is a sample what i m doing****)I have added button field and two Strings.I m putting data in String from vector.Now on button click i want to delete the row against button.The Data is deleted from the database but not removed from Screen view when button is clicked.When i calld the Retrieve() function to call updated database and draw the Table model adapter again....it is adding new Table below old one....not refreshing it. Is there any solution to show the refreshed data in same table.

What you have to consider is the fact that Blackberry table UI follows the MVC design pattern.
So it means that data are updated in the model.
Like for example:
Object yes = (Object)"Yes";
// gets the Model attached to this View
TableModel tm = (TableModel)view.getModel();
// updates the data attached to the row
tm.setElement(rowIndex, columnIndex, yes);
tm.modelReset();

Blackberry: saving ListField content and dirty state management

I have prepared a simple test case to demonstrate my problem.
It is just 1 file which will run instantly when added to a new project.
I would like to have a MainScreen displaying an editable list of items:
and when leaving this screen, the user should be asked - if she wants to save the modified list to persistent storage, by presenting the standard Save/Discard/Cancel-dialog:
I have added setDirty(true) to my menu items and the standard dialog does come up okay.
My problem is: I don't know how to clear the dirty flag after saving - in my current code the Save/Discard/Cancel-dialog comes again and again, even if I just view the ListField, without editing it.

Please share your Blackberry 6 experience, advices in regard to persistent storage are also welcome.
In my real program I'm using KeywordFilterField for viewing a SortedReadableList, so from reading Blackberry docs I suppose, that I must always copy data between SortedReadableList and Vector - because the latter is persistable and the former is not?
setDirty(false) will clear the dirty flag if that is what you are after.
