Hello you can use

setStatus(Managers or etc);

to add any manager at the bottom of the screen.

FIELD_TOP, FIELD_BOTTOM and FIELD_VCENTER are ignored by VerticalFieldManager, just like FIELD_LEFT, FIELD_LEADING, FIELD_RIGHT, FIELD_TRAILING and FIELD_HCENTER are ignored by HorizontalFieldManager. These managers have their own policy of vertical and horizontal positioning, respectively.

Your solution, therefore, is the most elegant one. Just replace getPreferredHeight() with getHeight() - at that point your footer manager has been laid out just like everything else, so it already knows its actual height.

Thanks! This was exactly what I needed to solve very similar problems. Life saver! ;-)

Super(NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);
HorizontalFieldManager hfm =
new HorizontalFieldManager(FIELD_BOTTOM|USE_ALL_HEIGHT);
add(hfm);
hfm.add(new LabelField("status", FIELD_BOTTOM);

add(hfm);

Well the above works like a charm, even tho its an old post I knw it wl b useful to someone

The solution could be this:

public final class MyScreen extends MainScreen
{
    /**
     * Creates a new MyScreen object
     */
    public MyScreen(){
         super(Screen.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL | Screen.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
            // Set the displayed title of the screen
            setTitle("Posicionamiento de elementos en la Screen");

            VerticalFieldManager containerManager = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH | Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT);
            containerManager.setBackground(BackgroundFactory.createSolidBackground(Color.YELLOW));

            VerticalFieldManager vfm = new VerticalFieldManager();
            vfm.setBackground(BackgroundFactory.createSolidBackground(Color.RED));

            vfm.add(new LabelField ("Field 1"));
            vfm.add(new LabelField ("Field 2"));

            HorizontalFieldManager hfm = new HorizontalFieldManager(Manager.USE_ALL_HEIGHT | Manager.FIELD_HCENTER);
            hfm.setBackground(BackgroundFactory.createSolidBackground(Color.GREEN));


            hfm.add(new LabelField ("Field 3", Field.FIELD_BOTTOM));

            containerManager.add(vfm);
            containerManager.add(hfm);

            this.add(containerManager);
        
        }
}
