Hello,

I created several EditField for gethering address like addr, city, state and zipcode.

I want to give some alert without moving next field if user dodn't fill out the field.

Is there anyway for this feature?

Thanks,

DK.

Try this:

EditField ef = new EditField("Text: ","<data>");

String s = ef.getText();

if (s.equals("")){
   //if the EditField does not contain data
}else{
   //it does contain data
}

 Check for that at: onClose()

I suggest you override onUnfocus() to do this.

Unfortunately this doesn't stop anyone "submitting" immediately without going through your protected fields, so I have never bothered with this.  It is also incredibly annoying if you really want to fill out the screen in a different order than they are displayed.  Instead, I do the 'not empty' checking as part of the submit process.  But that is just me......
