blackberry mainscreen vertical scroll
- by pajton
I am trying to create a MainScreen with vertical scrolling. From what I've read in the documentation, MainScreen has a VerticalManager inside, so it should be possible to enable vertical scrolling only with proper construction, i.e:
super(MainScreen.VERTICAL_SCROLL | MainScreen.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
This is not working for me, however. I am creating a screen, adding a couple of LabelFields and no scrollbar, no scrolling at all. I am testing on 8900, OS 5.0.
Here is the code I use:
public class ExampleScreen extends MainScreen {
public ExampleScreen() {
super(MainScreen.VERTICAL_SCROLL | MainScreen.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
create();
}
private void add(String text) {
add(new LabelField(text));
}
private void create() {
add("line 0");
add("line 1");
...
etc
...
}
}
The question is am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to enable vertical scrolling with MainScreen or do I need to create a VerticalManager myself?
