Hi, here are 2 more bugs about the VirtualKeyboard.

BUG #1)

In portrait, the symbol keys are not sent to keyChar/keyDown/keyUp when we are not using the textfields.

BUG #2)

In portrait, keys "*" and "#" have keyDown but no keyUp (I'm not using your textfields).

I hope that someone from RIM will repy to my posts one day!

What version of BlackBerry handheld software are you testing on?  You can find this under Options, About on the BlackBerry Storm.  Are you testing on an actual BlackBerry device or the BlackBerry Simulator?

Have you created a MIDlet or BlackBerry CLDC application?  Where are your keyChar methods located, at the application level, screen level, manager level or field level?  From what class are you overriding these methods?

Hi,

I am testing it under the BlackBerry Simulator using a Blackberry CLDC application.

I don't use the keychar() because I need both pressed and released events. I'm not using text fields.

I am using KeyUp() and KeyDown() from a class that extends Fullscreen.

Here's a small test application that shows the bug on the emulator.

import net.rim.device.api.ui.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.*;
import net.rim.device.api.system.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Keypad;

class KeyCheckerRIMCanvas extends FullScreen
{
	RichTextField mheader        = new RichTextField("Press END to exit.");
	RichTextField mLastKeyDown   = new RichTextField("Last KeyDown");
	RichTextField mLastKeyUp     = new RichTextField("Last keyUp.");
	RichTextField mLastKeyRepeat = new RichTextField("Last keyRepeat.");
	
    public KeyCheckerRIMCanvas()
    {
        super();
        getVirtualKeyboard().setVisibility( VirtualKeyboard.SHOW_FORCE);
        add(mheader);
        add(mLastKeyDown);
        add(mLastKeyRepeat);
        add(mLastKeyUp);
    }
 	
	public boolean keyDown(int keyCode, int time)
	{
		if (Keypad.key(keyCode) == Keypad.KEY_END)
		{
			System.exit(0);
		}
		
		mLastKeyDown.setText("KeyDown: " + Keypad.key(keyCode));
		return true;
	}
	
	public boolean keyRepeat(int keyCode, int time)
	{
		mLastKeyRepeat.setText("KeyRepeat: " + Keypad.key(keyCode));
		return true;
	}
	
	public boolean keyUp(int keyCode, int time)
	{
		mLastKeyUp.setText("KeyUp: " + Keypad.key(keyCode));
		return true;
	}
}

class KeyCheckerRIM extends net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication 
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        KeyCheckerRIM instance = new KeyCheckerRIM();
        instance.enterEventDispatcher();
    }  
    public KeyCheckerRIM()
    {
	 pushScreen(new KeyCheckerRIMCanvas());
    }
}

This issue has been reproduced and logged to be fixed.

Have you tried using the KeyListener interface to see if that works at all?

Hi,

I am using storm 4.7.0 simulator. I took 3 Numeric EditFields. One Non Editable and others Editable. When I click on Non Editable field, Virtual Keyboard appears like below.

           4

5     6   9

       2

       0

abc|sym| <- |Enter 

So can not directly use rest of the missing numbers. Once clicking on editable field and adding some number, whole keyboard comes.
