Hi guys,

I want to create an application but i don't want it in full screen i just want it to be more or less 3/4 of the screen. And, for the remaining 1/4 of the screen, it
should show the screen of the phone.

This is the picture of what i am saying, i can only post the link, i need to post 10 before i can post an image.. woot! :P

here's the link:

Is there any possibility that i could adjust the screen size?

Hope you'll help me with this. Thank you guys!

Yes. you can do that.

Override sublayout(init,int) of your screen class:

PHP Code:

    public void sublayout(int width, int height)
    {
        super.sublayout(width, height);
        setExtent(100, 200);
        setPosition(10, 20);
    } 


Now play with the numbers a little bit to achieve what you need.

( Remember that you can use Display.getWidth() and Display.getHeight(); )

Thank you for your help. ^^

I understand the concept that i just need to override my screen class unfortunately i'm new in BB development and i don't know how to implement it or in what part should i place this one.

Can you give me a sample code for this one? A simple one would do.

Thanks again.

Main class (entry point)

PHP Code:

public class Test_01 extends UiApplication
{
    static private Test_01 theApp;
    private Screen_01 fScreen = null;

    public Test_01()
    {
      fScreen = new Screen_01();
    }

    public static void main(Stringxxx91;xxx93; args)
    {
        theApp = new Test_01();
        theApp.displayScreen();
        theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
    }
  // ... add any other code you might need here

  public void displayScreen()
  {
    System.out.println("!> showInfo");
    // push the screen on top of screen stack:
    Ui.getUiEngine().pushGlobalScreen(fScreen, 4, UiEngine.GLOBAL_SHOW_LOWER);
  }
} 


And now the screen class:

PHP Code:

// you could extend any other Scrren type but i prefer the popup one :)
// feel free to experiment with other types
final public class Screen_01 extends PopupScreen
{
  public Screen_01()
  {
    super(new VerticalFieldManager());

    // add other screen fields here.
  }

  public void sublayout(int width, int height) 
  { 
      super.sublayout(width, height); 
      setExtent(100, 200); 
      setPosition(10, 20); 
  }

  // and I always prefer to 'disable' theme:

  protected void applyTheme()
  {
  }
} 


You need to pop the screen at some time, of course, but you can try to guess that one yourself

Hope I didn't miss anything

Thanks..

But the problem is whenever i load the application the background is still colored white, the transparent popup screen is shown only when i press the end call key(the red color phone key) and also it never exits.


Thanks again. Hope you can help me again with this one.

[qt_chenchen]

I have already got it working now. I just changed my main class into "Application" only not "UiApplication".


But one last question. How do i exit the application? Thanks!

[myraddin]

System.exit(0) is a sure way to get out

(yes, the Application class enables a non-full screen screen, my mistake. You can also play with MainScreen instead of PopupScreen - it will automagically add a 'close' item to the menu - if I remember correctly)

myraddin I LOVE YOU I know this is an old post but this information was gold for me and I had to let them know!

[rogu]

Is there anyway to handle if someone holds down the Menu button for a long time it calls for the Switch application but using

Ui.getUiEngine().pushGlobalScreen(fScreen, 4, iEngine.GLOBAL_SHOW_LOWER);

Causes the screen to stay ontop of everything, I want to pop the screen but I can't figure out a way to see when switching is called.


Edit -
Ui.getUiEngine().pushModalScreen(screennamegoesher e); seemed to work all the same.
