i need to make basic edit field take only  range of numbers 
i use filteration to only accept numeric value but i need  more it to only accept range of data 
exp {5:20}

The easiest option is to implement a FieldChangeListener and reset the value if not in range.  Adding a FieldChangeListener is comonnly done - search the forum for more and look for the API..

eField = new EditField(" Enter Name: ", Message[1])
{
protected boolean keyChar(char ch, int status, int time)
{

//What ever you dont want

if(ch=='1'){

return true;
}

if (CharacterUtilities.isLetter(ch) || CharacterUtilities.isDigit(ch) || (ch == Characters.BACKSPACE)|| (ch == Characters.SPACE)||(ch == Characters.ESCAPE))
{

if( this.getText().length()>=10&&(ch != Characters.BACKSPACE)&&(ch != Characters.ESCAPE)){

Status.show("10 Letters Max");

return true;
}

return super.keyChar(ch, status, time);




}
return true;
}

protected void paint(Graphics g){

g.setGlobalAlpha(255);
g.setColor(Color.WHITESMOKE);
super.paint(g);
}

};

I would not recommend a keyChar listener for any processing unless you know that are only going to run on a device with a full keyboard.  I have had issues doing this sort of processing on reduced key board models and virtual keyboards.  FieldChangedListener works well - just make sure you don't invoke it recursively.....
