I'm a bit confused.

On one hand, you say you want "translucent popup".

On other hand, you say "the center area of the screen should show me a popup while rest of the area should be translucent". From this I understand that you want the below screen to be translucent (faded).

Can you please explain again what your requirements are and please post a screen shot?

I would like to help but it seems I keep missing something...

Please see the snapshot from OS 6 simulator

 If you can notice, the screen below is bit faded(obscured by the popup). this is what i want. It runs well on OS6 devices but fails on OS7.

i have used popupScreen, it's show me rest of blackberry applications from HomeScreen but i was unable to interact with other blackberry applications like messages,call when my popupscreen is shown on top of home screen.

i wish that user will be able to screen my small ticker popupScreen and will interact with messages,call,browser if he wants without closing my app.

This is the screenshot which i wants.

Hi @iqbaldeep

I didn't manage to reproduce this behavior but I do have a couple of suggestions for you:

1. Remove the override of the applyTheme function.

2. Try extending FullScreen and not MainScreen.

Hope that helps,

Hi @kashif_pucitian

I looked a bit into it but I have to say that I don't know any API that enables the behavior you are requesting.

I also tried to do something similar but ended up in the same place you got to.

I guess that "Breaking news" application is either:

1. Developed by RIM or using some hidden API which enables this behavior.

Or

2. Using the Widget API that I hadn't got the chance to investigate yet.

Oh Great maadani, extendind FullScreen instead of MainScreen worked for me. Such a small change and i have been scratching my head to get it working. I was out of ideas on this issue by now. Thanks loads.

@maadni

i have solved my problem by using

pushGlobalScreen(new myPopupScreen(),-1,false);

This false boolean do the trick and enable me to interact with other blackberry apps

But i got struck now at some other point, i add a button on myPopupscreen which i just pushed as globalscreen.

now myPopupscreen donot get focused but other BB native apps get focused
