Hello, I would like to implement an image background for my application, where it should not move even when the user scrolls down... I found the following code on internet for this kind of manager:

package com.kruger.workflow.gui;

import net.rim.device.api.system.Bitmap;
import net.rim.device.api.system.Display;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.VerticalFieldManager;

public class BGVerticalFieldManager extends VerticalFieldManager {
    Bitmap mBgBitmap = null;
    int mBgWidth = -1;
    int mBgHeight = -1;
    int mBgX = -1;
    int mBgY = -1;

    public BGVerticalFieldManager(Bitmap background) {
        super(USE_ALL_WIDTH | USE_ALL_HEIGHT | VERTICAL_SCROLL
                | VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
        mBgBitmap = background;
        mBgWidth = mBgBitmap.getWidth();
        mBgHeight = mBgBitmap.getHeight();
        mBgX = (Display.getWidth() - mBgWidth) >> 1;
        mBgY = (Display.getHeight() - mBgHeight) >> 1;
       
    }

    protected void paintBackground(Graphics graphics) {
        paintBackgroundBitmap(graphics);
        invalidate();
    }

    private void paintBackgroundBitmap(Graphics graphics) {
        if (null != mBgBitmap) {
        	
            int x = mBgX
                    + getHorizontalScroll();
            
            int y = mBgY
                    + getVerticalScroll();
             graphics.drawBitmap(x, y, mBgWidth, mBgHeight, mBgBitmap, 0, 0);
        }
    }
}

 However is not working... I'm getting the following results:

As you can see the image starts scrolling upside...

The usage of this manager is the following one:

Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("1.jpg");
        add(mContainer = new BGVerticalFieldManager(bitmap));
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            mContainer.add(new LabelField("List item #" + String.valueOf(i)));
            mContainer.add(new SeparatorField());
        }
    	

 However no results so far... While debugging the code I noticed that this line :

if (null != mBgBitmap) {
        	
            int x = mBgX
                    + getHorizontalScroll();
            
            int y = mBgY
                    + getVerticalScroll();
             graphics.drawBitmap(x, y, mBgWidth, mBgHeight, mBgBitmap, 0, 0);
        }

 Is always returning 0 for both x a y, isn't suppossed that getVerticalScroll or getHorizontalScroll should return the current offset from the container manager??. How can I correct this?

Thanks a lot.

See this link, I posted some answer which may helps you

Hi, I implemented the code that you posted... it works, however the scrolling of the background is not fluent. What I mean is that the backgrond is respositioned completely when the whole screen has been scrolled down... giving an impression of an image "jumping" in the background. How could I correct it?. I'm testing on the 9800 OS 6 Simulator.

i use a vfm with USE_ALL_HEIGHT and NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL and set the background picture to this (using BackgroundFactory since 5.0)

in this vfm i put a second one, but this with VERTICAL_SCROLL. The listfield (or other content) is put in there.
