Just to freshen up this topic, I am including a screenshot of the behavior i described in the first post as well as a sample project. On the left is an OS 6 9800 simulator showing the attached sample app. The browserfield is rendered, then a semi-transparent rectangle is drawn on the screen covering part of the browserfield. On the right is the OS 7 9900 simulator with the same app running. as you can see, the red rectangle appears to be behind the browserfield. Here is the paint() method of this screen:
...
protected void paint(Graphics graphics)
{
//when the browserfield renders, it should be painted in this method
super.paint(graphics);
//after the screen is painted, let's draw a see-thru red rectangle on the right hand side of the screen
graphics.setColor(Color.RED);
graphics.setGlobalAlpha((int) (0xFF*.5));
graphics.fillRect(Display.getWidth()/2, 0, Display.getWidth()/2, Display.getHeight());
//This works in all oses < 7...why in OS 7 does the browserfield render AFTER the paint method is fired?
}
...
This is definately a bug that I need to resolve or work around for os 7 devices. Any suggestions are welcome!
