Welcome to the forum.

Have a look at this Thread which is covering exactly the same problem.

Thanks for your immediate reply but that doesn't solve my issue.Here is the scenario where the problem occurs:
I have two screens:In one screen,I enter some data and save that.At the time of typing into Editfield,the keyboard opens and after clicking on save button I need to pop the current screen and open another screen.
When I load the second screen it only shows half portion of the screen(other part with White bg).means my app bg image got half of the screen. Hope you understood.

Thanks...

That shouldn't happen, sounds like a bug.

However perhaps one way round it is to use the VirtualKeyboard and hide it before you push the second screen.  have a look at VirtualKeyboard API.  Do you think this might help?

I have already done this.I am hiding the keyboard before pushing the second screen on stack,then also the problem occurs.
If I manually hide the keyboard from Blackberry menu and then push the second screen then it looks perfect,the issue doesn't occur.
So,I need to call two functions on one button click-hide keyboard and push the second screen.Can you please help me out with this?

If you have two UI type functions and you need the first to complete before you start the second, then the easiest way o do that is to package the second request as a new Runnable for the Event Thread.  In your case you would package the pushScreen.  So instead of

UiApplication.getUiApplication()pushScreen(...);

you would have

UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {

public void run() {

UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen....

}

});

Hope this resolves it.
