i would suggest to extend an editfield and add some automatic text replacement while keeping the original text in a separate buffer.
you could use a timertask to replace the last character.

[govind23]

thank u sir,

please provide me some code like where we have o use timertask to replace function?

[simon_hain]

you can try to implement it, if it does not work, post your code here and maybe somebody can help.

if you need free samples you can check the samples folder or search online, but i don't know any covering this area.

	private class changeChar extends TimerTask {
		public void run() {
			Thread t= Thread.currentThread();
			try {
				t.sleep(1000); // 1000 to change char to * after 1 sec
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
			
			// your textfield string last char set to *, use two diff strings one for display & one for your inapp use
		}
	}

call this class in schedular so that after 1 sec char will change to *

	private class changeChar extends TimerTask {
		public void run() {
			Thread t= Thread.currentThread();
			try {
				t.sleep(1000); // 1000 to change char to * after 1 sec
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
			
			// your textfield string last char set to *, use two diff strings one for display & one for your inapp use
		}
	}

create this class object in schedular so that after 1 sec char will change to *

do not execute sleep on a timertask.
you can schedule the timertask to run after 1 second using http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/6.0.0api/java/util/Timer.html#schedule(java.util.TimerTask... long)

it would make sense to schedule the replacement in the keyChar method, but i don't know if it would work with suretype and other reduced devices.

inside editfield i put this

TimerTask tt=new TimerTask() {
                        public void run() {
                            editField.setText("*");
                        }
                    };t.scheduleAtFixedRate(tt, 1000, 1000);

but how to store key value dont know

[govind23]

please give me clarity that how to capture key value after pressing and how to replace

thank u
