I created a CustomListManger by extemding VerticalFieldManager. for the rows I created a CustomRow Manager by extending Mnager.

When I display the list I am not able to focus on the CustomRowManager that I have added. Focusable property is enabled for both CustomRowManager and CustomListManger .

Any help is welcomed!

Hi avi_yach,
Manager cannot be made focusable... the fields in it can be focused.

if you want custom manager to be focusable then u have to do it in paint. on focus fillrect with some focus color.

i have used like this
boolean isFocusable = false;
protected void onFocus(int direction) {
isFocusable = true;
invalidate();
}

protected void onUnfocus() {
isFocusable = false;
invalidate();
}
protected void paint(Graphics graphics){
if(isFocusable) {
graphics.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
//you can use bitmap image also
}
}
Thanks & Regards

Hello pp, thanks a lot for your reply. the above code has helped me in performing a neat scroll, it is not working if in case I use

g.setBackGround(Color.BLUE);

g.setColorColor.BLUE);
before fill rect

Thanks & Regards

Hello PP, that code worked great for focusing effect, but it didn't cater my other requirement to add fields to manager and I should also be able to fire an event when click is performed. 

From my understanding the method g.fillRect(0,0,Display.getWidth(),Display.getHeight()); is actually painting teh entire visible region of the manager.

I am following this thread as my reference for performing

This is the look I am working on,

ParentManager extends VerticalFieldManager{}

MyMaanger extends Manager implements FocusChangeListener, FieldChangeListener
{
static int i = 0;
	NullField _focus = null;
	public MyManager(){
			i = i+1;
	        _focus = new NullField(NullField.FOCUSABLE|NullField.STATUS_MOVE_FOCUS_VERTICALLY);
	        _focus.setFocusListener(MyManager.this);
	        _focus.setChangeListener(MyManager.this);
	        this.add(_focus);
	        this.setChangeListener(MyManager.this);
	        this.add(new RichTextField("LIST COUNT "+i,RichTextField.NON_FOCUSABLE));
	
	}
	
	public void focusChanged(Field field, int eventType) {
		this.getManager().invalidate();
		int a = this.getFieldWithFocusIndex();
		int b = this.getFieldCount();
		Field _f = this.getFieldWithFocus();
		
	}
	
	
	
	protected void paintBackground(Graphics g) {
		  int prevBg = g.getBackgroundColor();
		  if (_focus.isFocus()) {
		    g.setBackgroundColor(Color.LIGHTBLUE);
		  } else {
		    g.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
		  }
		  g.clear();
		  g.setBackgroundColor(prevBg);
		}

	public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
		UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(new Screen2());
	}


}

 This is the desired look, which is achieved, but no luck with clicklistener
