RadioButtonGroup issue on OS 6 - blackberry

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);
}
}

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

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?

Blackberry Custom ButtonField

This is default look when i launch activity.
After i play around with the wheel track pad then become like this. The button image or whole button lost.
Here is my custom buttonfield which extends ButtonField.
public class Custom_ButtonField extends ButtonField {
Bitmap mNormal;
Bitmap mFocused;
Bitmap mActive;
int mWidth;
int mHeight;
public Custom_ButtonField(Bitmap normal, Bitmap focused,
Bitmap active) {
super(CONSUME_CLICK);
mNormal = normal;
mFocused = focused;
mActive = active;
mWidth = mNormal.getWidth();
mHeight = mNormal.getHeight();
setMargin(0, 0, 0, 0);
setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
setBorder(BorderFactory
.createSimpleBorder(new XYEdges(0, 0, 0, 0)));
setBorder(VISUAL_STATE_ACTIVE, BorderFactory
.createSimpleBorder(new XYEdges(0, 0, 0, 0)));
}
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
Bitmap bitmap = null;
switch (getVisualState()) {
case VISUAL_STATE_NORMAL:
bitmap = mNormal;
break;
case VISUAL_STATE_FOCUS:
bitmap = mFocused;
break;
case VISUAL_STATE_ACTIVE:
bitmap = mActive;
break;
default:
bitmap = mNormal;
}
graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(),
bitmap, 0, 0);
}
public int getPreferredWidth() {
return mWidth;
}
public int getPreferredHeight() {
return mHeight;
}
protected void layout(int width, int height) {
setExtent(mWidth, mHeight);
}
}
It looks like you're trying to create a button with an image so you might be better off using the Advanced UI Library published by RIM. Take a look at the BitmapButtonField class.
Set Focusable on constructor.
super(Field.FOCUSABLE);

Align field to right in grid layout in blackberry

I want my application to align two field, one to left and other to extreme left of the screen. For that i am using GridLayoutManager class. Here is my code
GridFieldManager gridFieldManager = new GridFieldManager(2,2, GridFieldManager.PREFERRED_SIZE_WITH_MAXIMUM);
gridFieldManager.add(new ButtonField("Button One"), Field.FIELD_HCENTER);
gridFieldManager.add(new ButtonField("Button Two"), Field.FIELD_RIGHT);
gridFieldManager.add(new ButtonField("HC", Field.FIELD_HCENTER));
gridFieldManager.add(new ButtonField("RT", Field.FIELD_RIGHT));
add(gridFieldManager);
And, here is my output in simulator
Can anyone please help me to align the Button Two to the extreme right of the screen ? Any help will be appreciated.
Basically it's all a matter of alignment flags and grid's column properties.
Changing the GridFieldManager style to Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH and setting column properties to GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE makes all the available space to be divided evently among the two columns.
gridFieldManager.setColumnProperty(0, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
gridFieldManager.setColumnProperty(1, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
The following code snippet
GridFieldManager gridFieldManager = new GridFieldManager(2,2, Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
gridFieldManager.setColumnProperty(0, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
gridFieldManager.setColumnProperty(1, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
gridFieldManager.add(new ButtonField("Button One"), Field.FIELD_LEFT);
gridFieldManager.add(new ButtonField("Button Two"), Field.FIELD_RIGHT);
gridFieldManager.add(new ButtonField("HC"), Field.FIELD_LEFT);
gridFieldManager.add(new ButtonField("RT"), Field.FIELD_RIGHT);
add(gridFieldManager);
produces
This slightly modified code snippet
GridFieldManager gridFieldManager = new GridFieldManager(1,2, Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
gridFieldManager.setColumnProperty(0, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
gridFieldManager.setColumnProperty(1, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
VerticalFieldManager vfmLeft = new VerticalFieldManager();
vfmLeft.add(new ButtonField("Button One", Field.FIELD_HCENTER));
vfmLeft.add(new ButtonField("HC", Field.FIELD_HCENTER));
gridFieldManager.add(vfmLeft, Field.FIELD_LEFT);
VerticalFieldManager vfmRight = new VerticalFieldManager();
vfmRight.add(new ButtonField("Button Two", Field.FIELD_HCENTER));
vfmRight.add(new ButtonField("RT", Field.FIELD_HCENTER));
gridFieldManager.add(vfmRight, Field.FIELD_RIGHT);
add(gridFieldManager);
produces
Finally, to illustrate what I said previously about the available space being divided evently among the two columns, the following code snippet
GridFieldManager gridFieldManager = new GridFieldManager(1,2, Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH | Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT);
gridFieldManager.setColumnProperty(0, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
gridFieldManager.setColumnProperty(1, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
gridFieldManager.setRowProperty(0, GridFieldManager.AUTO_SIZE, 0);
VerticalFieldManager vfmLeft = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH | Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT);
vfmLeft.setBackground(BackgroundFactory.createSolidBackground(Color.CYAN));
gridFieldManager.add(vfmLeft);
VerticalFieldManager vfmRight = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH | Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT);
vfmRight.setBackground(BackgroundFactory.createSolidBackground(Color.GRAY));
gridFieldManager.add(vfmRight);
add(gridFieldManager);
produces two columns of equal size.
Please use this following class.
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Field;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.HorizontalFieldManager;
public class HFMLeftFieldRightField extends HorizontalFieldManager {
private Field leftField;
private Field rightField;
private final static int TOP_MARGIN = 0;
private final static int LEFT_MARGIN = 30;
public HFMLeftFieldRightField() {
super(USE_ALL_WIDTH);
}
public HFMLeftFieldRightField(boolean isQatari) {
super(USE_ALL_WIDTH | Field.FIELD_LEFT);
}
public void sublayout(int maxWidth, int maxHeight) {
super.sublayout(maxWidth, maxHeight);
int width = getWidth();
if (rightField != null) {
int x = width - rightField.getWidth() - LEFT_MARGIN;
int y = TOP_MARGIN;
setPositionChild(rightField, x, y);
}
if (leftField != null) {
int y = TOP_MARGIN+rightField.getHeight()/5;
int x = LEFT_MARGIN;
setPositionChild(leftField, 0, y);
}
setExtent(maxWidth, rightField.getHeight() + TOP_MARGIN * 2);
}
public void setLeftButton(Field leftField) {
this.leftField = leftField;
super.add(leftField);
}
public void setRightButton(Field rightField) {
this.rightField = rightField;
super.add(rightField);
}
}
And add field this way.
HFMLeftFieldRightField hfm = new HFMLeftFieldRightField();
hfm.setLeftButton(new EditField("Left"));
hfm.setRightButton(new EditField("Right"));
add(hfm);

Hope helpfull..
It seems like you should use JustifiedHorizontalFieldManager instead of GridFieldManager. JustifiedHorizontalFieldManager is not a standard manager included in BlackBerry SDK, but a member of a set of UI components released by RIM later to help developers build more rich UI Interfaces. You have to download the code from here, add it to your proyect and then include the following line:
JustifiedHorizontalFieldManager justifiedManager = new JustifiedHorizontalFieldManager(buttonOne, buttonTwo, false, USE_ALL_WIDTH );
Change the style parameter of your gridFieldManager constructor to
GridFieldManager.USE_ALL_WIDTH
It should be like this
GridFieldManager gridFieldManager = new GridFieldManager(2,2,GridFieldManager.USE_ALL_WIDTH );

Blackberry: VerticalFieldManager Child Element Not Receiving Focus

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

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

You can try that.
