Dear Sir/Ma'am
I am showing three BitmapFields focusable in the statusBar (passing the object of fieldManager which has these BitmapFields). On the response from an HttpConnection Thread, one of these clickable items disappear, though the item is present , if I comment the setPositionChild(field, x, y); on the other two fields, it starts showing, but the two buttons do not show on their intended position.

I am using VerticalFieldManager, is that causing the trouble?

Hi Abhsax

I think you should look int the layout you have done. There may be some problems over there, or may be @ the paint side. If it's possible for you to paste the code snippet It 'll give more info for others to get what is wrong.

PHP Code:

protected void sublayout(int arg0, int arg1) {
        super.sublayout(arg0, arg1);
        final int width = getPreferredWidth();
        final int height = getPreferredHeight();
        setExtent(width, height);

        int optX = width - (bmpField.getWidth() + 10);
        int optY = (height / 2) - (bmpField.getHeight() / 2);
        try {
            setPositionChild(bmpField, optX, optY);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
        try {
            setPositionChild(left, (Constants.SCREEN_WIDTH / 2) - 20, 5);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
        try {
            setPositionChild(right, (Constants.SCREEN_WIDTH / 2) + 20, 5);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }

    } 


I hope you can recognize the fields. Moreover I am deletind and adding the elements again on each response. Commenting the left and right button in above makes the bmpField visible. I tried the change in the alignment.

PHP Code:

protected void paintBackground(Graphics g) {
        g.drawBitmap(0, 0, statusBar.getWidth(), statusBar.getHeight(), statusBar, 0, 0);
        g.setColor(Color.WHITE);

        super.paint(g);
    }

    protected void paint(Graphics g) {
//        if (doFocus) {

        g.setFont(Font.getDefault().derive(Font.BOLD, 12, Ui.UNITS_px));
        int strHght = getFont().getHeight();
        g.drawText(Constants.BASE_BAR_TEXT, 10, (statusBar.getHeight() / 2) - (strHght / 2));
        super.paint(g);
//        }

Hi Abhsax,

I think you miss out something to write inside the sub layout method,
Where did you mention the layoutChild(field, width, height) I think you haven't
mentioned, If so please do and see if it fixes.

Also I have some suggestions.

1) Move the super.sublayout to last statement of the sublayout method body.

2) Move setExtent(width, height) to a place after setPosition(childfield, x, y).

P.S. Update here If you find a solution.

I have tried the above options, but I can not see any of the buttons at all.
Though the presence of these buttons is detected.

I have tried using different managers for each of the control.

Please help.

Some good news:

In storm, I used the usual code that I have posted. The result is the same as required. The app is working fine. Just I am using different HorizontalFieldManagers for each of the button.

I have to override TrackWheelClick and TouchEvent for each of these managers.

Solution:
override the OnTrackWheelRoll of the screen and return false, inside write: setDirty(false); this will refresh the screen every time the track wheel rolls.
