Java Development

[millec8]

I'm new to blackberry development (as of this week) and I'm trying to create a screen that has a bitmap displayed that you can then drag/zoom and I'll go out to a webserver to get the next image and load it.  I've seen the scrollableimagefield example and its got me started but I can't drag the image down or to the right because the graphics.drawbitmap's top and left parameters are then negative. 

Am I going about this the right way with drawbitmap and if so is there anyway that I could just drag the bitmap down and have the screen be white like if I drag it the opposite way?

If you set the background color and clear it

graphics.setbackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);

graphics.clear();

then only paint the portion of the Bitmap that is actually visible, at an appropriate starting position, you will create white space at the top and to the left as I think you want.

I actually read up on drawBitmap a little better and figured out what was happening.  Thanks for the help though.

Well done.

Can you mark this as solved?
