hi,

i'm trying to integrate my app with the blackberry messenger platform. for this i am using the BBM SDK. i am using a custom screen to display the messages. this screen contains a BasicReplyFieldManager set as the status for the screen and a BasicMessageListManager added as a direct child of the screen. Everithing is ok as long as i do not try to open the screen's menu. For example if i override the keyChar method to add the messages to the BasicMessageListManager everything is ok. if, on the other hand, i use a menu option to do this, as soon as i open the menu, the BasicMessageListManager dissapears. During debugging i found out that the BasicMessageListManager's manager is set to null. this is why it dissapears.The reply field does't dissapear because it's in the status. If i put it in a BottomUpManager for example they both dissapear.

has anyone encountered this? or does anyone know how to get around this problem?

here is the code i'm using:

replyField=new ReplyField();

smilyBtn=new SmileyButton();
smilyBtn.setClickRunnable(new Runnable() {
	public void run() {
		synchronized (UiApplication.getEventLock()) {
			SmileyScreen scr=new SmileyScreen();
			scr.show(replyField);
		}
	}
});
replyMgr=new BasicReplyFieldManager(replyField, smilyBtn);

messageMgr=new BasicMessageListManager(0, 
		MessageListManager.MESSAGE_STYLE_GROUP_MESSAGES_SAME_SENDER|
		MessageListManager.MESSAGE_STYLE_SHOW_SENDER_DISPLAY_NAME,
		MessageListManager.BORDER_STYLE_BUBBLE);
messageMgr.toggle();
BottomUpManager mgr=new BottomUpManager();
mgr.add(messageMgr);
mgr.add(replyMgr);
add(mgr);

to add messages i'm using this

MessageSender ms=new MessageSender("Me");
TextMessage tm=new TextMessage(message, ms);
OutgoingTextMessageField out=new OutgoingTextMessageField(tm);
messageMgr.addMessage(out);

thank you.

found the answear. it had nothing to do with the BBM SDK classes.

i turns out that i overrode the makeMenu method in the screen class and in there i called menu.deleteAll. Once i removed this line everything was ok.
