Hi Experts,

I have 2 BasicEditFields, one below the other

The upper one is nonfocusable, and the bottom one is focusable

bottom one is used for searching the contacts, and while searching if i am pressing a numeric key the upper basiceditfield is displaying the number pressed for that key.

Now i want to also add "+" character to the upper field when i will press the "0" button (ie keep it pressed)

How can i get  + character programmatically?

[BB-Dude]

BasicEditField.setText(BasicEditField.getText() + '+' );

[mailsameer]

No .... i am saying if i keep "0" key pressed i get "+" ... how to achieve that....

[BB-Dude]

override the 

protected boolean keyRepeat(int keycode,
                            int time)

[mailsameer]

it is not returning the "+" key

[BB-Dude]

is it returning the '0' key?

[mailsameer]

keyrepeat is not called when we press 0 key... and also it is not called when we keep it pressed and release it.....

[BB-Dude]

Try using the keyup and keydown function. Save the time from the keydown if the key is 0 and compare it with the time of the keyup function if the key is 0. If the time you compared is the waiting time you want then add the + to the field.

Override keyChar method and replace '0' with '+' before passing to super.keyChar... (Should work, never tested)

If you want to do some more complex filtering, create an implementation of TextFilter class and do you conversions inside implementation of "convert" function.
