I am having 2 EditFields in my login form with names Email: and Password:. Just below email I have login button. Suppose I come down till login, I can scroll back only till password field.The cursor fails to reach Email field. In simulator, I tried using arrow keys as well as trackpad. Please help how to scroll back to first editfield
AbsoluteFieldManager ab = new AbsoluteFieldManager();
add(ab);
new SeparatorField();
et=new EditField("Email-id:","");
pwd=new PasswordEditField("Password:","");
ab.add(et,35,110);
ab.add(pwd,35,150);
I am using AbsoluteFieldManager and developing for OS 6.0. I want the loginscreen to look like facebook login page. Kindly let me know what can possibly be the reason for not able to scroll up
Maybe it is a RIM bug with the AbsoluteFieldManager. Never used it before so I don't know about it. You can create a work around to solve this problem. Find it below:
et=new EditField("Email-id:","");
pwd=new PasswordEditField("Password:","") {
protected int moveFocus(int amount, int status, int time) {
int cursorPosition = this.getCursorPosition();
if ((cursorPosition == 0) && (amount < 0)) {
et.setFocus();
return 0;
}
else {
return super.moveFocus(amount, status, time);
}
}
};
In this way, when you arrive to the first element in the password edit field, you will oblige the email field to get focused. This will work for you as a work around.
Another way to solve the problem is to add the two fields in an horizontal field manager, in that way I guess this will work for you for sure. If not use the first method. You can find below the code for HorizontalFieldManager:
et=new EditField("Email-id:","");
pwd=new PasswordEditField("Password:","");
HorizontalFieldManager manager = new HorizontalFieldManager();
manager.add(et);
manager.add(pwd);
ab.add(manager, yourX, yourY);
