I am using screen which extends FullScreen.

I have taken instance of Menu & added MenuItems in it in the method makeMenu() which I have overridden.

My problem is that, the Menu is being displayed on top-right corner of the screen.

I want it to be displayed on bottom-left corner. Can anyone please help?

Here is the piece of code related to the menu which i have used in the screen class :

private Menu myMenu;


public MyScreen()
{
	myMenu = new Menu();
}


public boolean onMenu(int instance)
{
        makeMenu(myMenu, instance);
        return super.onMenu(instance);    
}
    
public void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance)
{
        System.out.println(menu+":::"+instance);

        menu.add( menuItem1 ); 
        menu.add( menuItem2 );
        menu.add( menuItem3 );  
 
        menu.show();
}
    
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
private MenuItem menuItem1 = new MenuItem("menuItem1", 0, 1)
{
        public void run()
        {}
};

private MenuItem menuItem2 = new MenuItem("menuItem2", 1, 1)
{
        public void run()
        {}
};

private MenuItem menuItem3 = new MenuItem("Close", 2, 1)
{
        public void run()
        {
		System.exit(0);
        }
};

I know with the 4.7 JDE there is a function in the menu class called setOrigin that will allow you to move the menu, but it will not allow you to place the menu completely at the bottom of the screen (there is about a 30px gap). This function is undocumented, so use at your own risk. Otherwise you will have to make a custom Menu class to make it draw where you want.

Add this  menu.setOrigin(0, Display.getHeight());    imidiate after adding menu items to menu.

AFAIK only the MainScreen menu displays lower-left automatically, the others are theme-controlled and the OS6 theme shows it top-right.  If you try it on OS5 it will probably show lower-left.

You can use MainScreen instead of FullScreen, and get rid of the title by doing setTitle((Field)(new NullField()))

makes everything so much easier, you'll have default menu, default close, etc.

Agree.

No need to use this to get rid of the Title:

setTitle((Field)(new NullField()))

Just don't use setTitle() at all (which you probably don't since you have extended FullScreen).

Hi,

Try this:

public void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance)
{
       super.makeMenu(menu, instance);
       System.out.println(menu+":::"+instance);

        menu.add( menuItem1 ); 
        menu.add( menuItem2 );
        menu.add( menuItem3 );  
 
        //menu.show();
}

You can also omit the onMenu function.
