[handle0088]

Hi there,

I want to draw speech bubble like SMS native app to show message in my instant message application. I tried example in AdvancedUI but it is not a good solution because all messages are loaded into memory. I just want to load about 10-15 messages to the screen, when user scroll up/down, the old bubbles will be reused.

Any one have experience with speech bubble please help!

Thanks

any help?

well, the UI from advanced UI would be the same, you only have to re-write the logic behind it.

I am trying the code in Advanced UI but everytime I delete a field from a manager, it will cause the manager scroll (vertical). Is there any way to prevent it scroll when delete a field inside a manager?

Moving up to remove the empty space would seem like the right thing for a VerticalFieldManager to do.  If this then causes the scroll to change, then that is possibly just a fact of life. 

Can you describe in detail the scenario that causes you this problem.  Where is the Field you are removing in relation t the screen for example?

You can find out the current scroll position, and then reset it once you have deleted the Field if you want.  But I think the user would see a 'wobble'.

Hi,

I need to load data (message, every message is a field) to the speech bubble from database. At a point of time, there is a limited number of message in the UI (ex: 30 msgs) on the top, when user scroll down, I will load more messages to UI and remove the one on the top (one by one).

The problem comes when I try to delete top messages
