                    backgroundBitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("logo.png");
                    System.out.println("Width = "+backgroundBitmap.getWidth()+ "\nheight = "+backgroundBitmap.getHeight());
                    vfm = new VerticalFieldManager(VerticalFieldManager.NO_HORIZONTAL_SCROLL | VerticalFieldManager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);
                    hfm_1 = new HorizontalFieldManager(HorizontalFieldManager.USE_ALL_WIDTH)
                    {
                        public void paint(Graphics graphics)
                        {
                            graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, backgroundBitmap.getWidth(), backgroundBitmap.getHeight(), backgroundBitmap, 0, 0);
                            super.paint(graphics);
                        }           
                    };
                   
                    hfm_2 = new HorizontalFieldManager(HorizontalFieldManager.USE_ALL_WIDTH);
                   
                    s = "This is a label, I want it at the bottom of this Screen";
                    style =  LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH | LabelField.FIELD_BOTTOM;
                   
                    lbl_hdr =  new LabelField(s,style)
                    {
                            protected void layout( int maxWidth, int maxHeight )
                            {
                                    int displayWidth = 500; // As reference
                                    int displayHeight = 120; // as reference
                                    super.layout( displayWidth, displayHeight);
                                    setExtent( displayWidth, displayHeight );
                            }                       
                     };
                    hfm_2.add(lbl_hdr);
                    vfm.add(hfm_1);
                    vfm.add(hfm_2);
                    add(vfm);
                }
               
               protected boolean onSavePrompt()
               {
                    return true;
               }
 
         
          }

Your HorizontalFieldManager hfm_1  has no Fields in it, so has no need for any screen space, so no need to draw the background image. 

I suggest that you use the paint menthod you have for the hfm_1 in the AboutScreen, i.e. overrride the AboutScreen paint method and don't use hfm_1 at all.

Hi Peter,

Thnx for the response..

Well, I would try as you suggestedto override the AboutScreen paint method and not using hfm_1 at all. But, I have gone thru KB article

                 http://www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/348583/800332/800505/800608/...

And, in the same manner I am trying to create a background image for my application... Is somethng wrong in using it..?

Try to do like this,

 HorizontalFieldManager hfm_1 = new HorizontalFieldManager(HorizontalFieldManager.USE_ALL_WIDTH)
                    {

                        int width = 50;
                        int height = 50;

                        protected void sublayout(int width, int height)
                        {

                            width = this.width;

                            height = this.height;
                            super.setExtent(width,height);
                                               
                        }

                        public void paint(Graphics graphics)
                        {
                            graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, backgroundBitmap.getWidth(), backgroundBitmap.getHeight(), backgroundBitmap, 0, 0);
                            super.paint(graphics);
                        }          
                    };
