Hi Everyone,

I have created a Custom EditField which will keep all of the text on a single line. Everything I have is working fine. When I test the EditField on a Storm simulator and tilt the storm horizontally, however, the EditField will not resize to the new screen width. Can anyone explain to me how I can go about fixing this? The following is my code:

search2 = new CustomEditField(label, Display.getWidth());
search2.setChangeListener(this)

package com.kflicks.ui.Custom;

import net.rim.device.api.ui.Color;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Keypad;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Manager;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.EditField;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.VerticalFieldManager;

public class CustomEditField extends VerticalFieldManager {

	private int managerWidth;
	private int managerHeight;
	private EditField editField;

	public CustomEditField(final String label, int width) {

		super(Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);
		managerWidth = width;

		VerticalFieldManager vfm = new VerticalFieldManager(
				Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL);

		editField = new EditField() {
			public void paint(Graphics g) {
				getManager().invalidate();
				super.paint(g);
			}

			protected void onFocus(int direction) {
				if (getText().equals("") || getText().equals(label)) {
					setText("");
				}
			}

			protected void onUnfocus() {
				if (getText().equals(label) || getText().equals("")) {
					setText(label);
				}
			}

		};

		editField.setText(label);
		vfm.add(editField);
		add(vfm);
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g) {
		super.paint(g);

		int oldColor = Color.GRAY;
		// int oldAlpha = g.getGlobalAlpha();

		// g.setGlobalAlpha(0x88);
		g.setBackgroundColor(0x00EF3825);
		g.setColor(0x181818);
		g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight()); // 8, 8
		g.setColor(oldColor);
		// g.setGlobalAlpha(oldAlpha);
		super.paint(g);
	}

	public void sublayout(int width, int height) {

		if (managerWidth == 0) {
			managerWidth = width;
		}
		if (managerHeight == 0) {
			managerHeight = height;
		}
		super.sublayout(managerWidth, getPreferredHeight());
		setExtent(managerWidth, getPreferredHeight());
	}

	public String getText() {
		return editField.getText();
	}

	public void setText(String text) {
		editField.setText(text);
	}

	protected boolean keyChar(char character, int status, int time) {

		if (character == Keypad.KEY_ENTER) {
			fieldChangeNotify(0);
			return true;
		}

		if (character == Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE) {
			setText("");
			return true;
		}
		return super.keyChar(character, status, time);
	}

}

Thanks!

If it helps, I have also been looking at / implemented the custom EditField listed on the following forum post:

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Stop-edit-field-from-wrapping-text/m-p/25528...

But again, the field will not resize to the new display width when tilting the storm...

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi ,i think what u got is width input given by you.So it will remain the same even though u tilt,but displaywidth will vary when it is tilted,so u cannot get the same result,what u got in verticalform,cannot be obtained as in the horizontal form,so calculate the width from display width

Thanks for your help. I changed my sublayout() method to the following:

public void sublayout(int width, int height) {

	super.sublayout(Display.getWidth(), getPreferredHeight());
	setExtent(Display.getWidth(), getPreferredHeight());
}

Now it is working.
