Item #3 that I mentioned above does that and I tried it in a 2nd way without success.
1) For item #3, I created the LayoutManager class with the slight modification of putting x and y at 0.
public class LayoutManager extends Manager {
public LayoutManager() {
//construct a manager with vertical scrolling
super(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL);
}
//overwrite the nextFocus method for custom navigation
protected void sublayout(int width, int height) {
Field field;
//get total number of fields within this manager
int numberOfFields = getFieldCount();
// A vertical spacing of 50units is created
int y = 0;
int x = 0;
// Laying out every field in the manager evenly
for (int i = 0;i < numberOfFields;i++) {
field = getField(i); //get the field
setPositionChild(field,x,y); //set the position for the field
layoutChild(field, width, height); //lay out the field
}
setExtent(width, height);
}
}
Then I added it as follows, where fullScreenManager is an instance of LayoutManager:
videoField = (Field) _videoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE,"net.rim.device.api.ui.Field");
// _videoControl.setDisplayFullScreen(true);
_videoControl.setDisplaySize( Display.getWidth(), Display.getHeight());
_videoControl.setVisible(true);
add(fullScreenManager);
fullScreenManager.add(videoField);
_player.start();
This left the video screen the same size as before, but now is starts in the upper left corner (before it was horizontally centered, though not vertically).
2) I also tried just adding videoField (using add(videoField) to my VideoScreen class (which extends MainClass and is therefore a Manager) and overriding SubLayout within that class. The SubLayout function through an error at setPositionChild stating that videoField was not a child of the manager.
Note also from my previous message that setDisplayFullScreen throws an exception stating that setDisplayFullScreen is not a supported operation, which results in a blank white screen.
