Hi, I have a problem with the behavior i got in the following scenario: -My application was ported from J2ME and was made in 'quick n dirty' mode so to port it we used the j2ab code (java to android bridge) which means that we implement J2ME classes using android implementations. -the graphics were handled by an extended AbsoluteLayout that takes up the wole screen and contains on 2 children: 1. a custom view (extending View) that calls our application paint method that draws all the UI into a bitmap and then paints the bitmap to the android canvas. in addition this view is the listener of the keys and touch events that passes them on to our application to handle. this view takes care of resize too, calling our app screen's resize function and then to android's invalidate();
2. an EditText component, it's default size set to 50x50 in (0,0), set to non-visible, focusable in touch mode and in non-touch mode, transparent background. now the point of the EditText is that whnever a component in our application needs to input text we set the parameters for this EditText, set it's size and position according to our app item using setLayoutParams,take the text from the item into the Edit text, set it to visible and ask for focus. The idea was for the VK to open immediately, but since it didn't happen we use InputMethodManager's function showSoftInput(). I have basically two problems: 1. when i change from landscape to portrait i unbind the item (remove focus, remove visibility) and rebind it meaning it should (and it does, i checked) get new LayoutParams with the new size, but it doesn't :-? in landscape mode the size is portrait's length and in portrait it's the size of landscape's length, i didn't manage to figure out why... 2. sometimes when i click on one of our app fields the EditText is being positioned in a strange place, it's not always in the same position sometimes higher, sometimes lower then it should, sometimes remains stuck on the default, i double checked using logs and it does have new LayoutParams wiht the right value created, but for some reason it's being positioned in the wrong place... if te VK get's open the fields just bounces to where is should be, but if i have a device like Droid with hardware keyboard, and it's open then the VK wont open... and then i get a text field in a bad place, with no good reason. I'm sure we are doing some steps wrong and maybe set the layout params too early or too late. But i couldn't figure out when. In a small example i've made that just tried to emulate this situation i couldn't even get the EditText keep it's focus from landscape to portrait (calling the bind function didn't do anything). Any hint would help ;-) 10x. Sorry for the long scroll!!! Eyal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
