Hi all,

Im new to Blackberry java, worked on core java and android. What i need is to get the UI as shown in the image, i checked and coded but not able to achieve the correct design as shown in the image. So, can any one  explain me how to do this.

a labelfield, an editfield with a border set, and both in a horizontalfieldmanager.

Thank you simon, im able to achieve partially, when i set background for the EditText i'm not able to see the border.

There is an article in the knowledge base addressing this specific design:

Scrollable one-line text input field

The code you are looking for is actually in the comments section. However, I recommend you read the whole article - as an experienced Java programmer, you should have no trouble understanding the concept and tailoring it to your needs. The comments address the border requirement.

Hi SumiGhosh

Try this code.

import net.rim.device.api.ui.XYEdges;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.EditField;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.LabelField;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.HorizontalFieldManager;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.decor.BorderFactory;

public class pkj extends MainScreen{
public pkj() {
	// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
	HorizontalFieldManager hfm = new HorizontalFieldManager();
	
	LabelField lbl = new LabelField("Company: ");
	EditField _editField = new EditField();
	_editField.setBorder(BorderFactory.createBevelBorder(new XYEdges(2,2,2,2)));
	hfm.add(lbl);
	hfm.add(_editField);
	add(hfm);
}
}

Thanks

Hi,

You want to put that image as background the override the getPreferredWidth() and getPreferredHeight() methods in editField and return according to that image size then u can get the image like that.
