I am building a picker replacement that uses a dialog to display a list of
buttons. (the iOS picker of only 3 lines is a joke)
The picker is a Dialog component with an associated button. When the
button is pressed, the dialog is shown. I would like to scroll to the last
selected item (even better would be to put it in the middle of the dialog).
when the button is clicked, my code does:
protected void onButton() {
cnt.removeAll();
for (T t : vData) {
Button b = new Button(t.toString());
b.setAlignment(LEFT);
b.addActionListener(e -> { onClick(t); });
cnt.add(b);
if (t == selectedObject)
cmpLastVisible = b;
}
if (cmpLastVisible != null)
cnt.scrollComponentToVisible(cmpLastVisible);
this.show();
}
however I believe it is too early to scrollComponent since the dialog is
not shown and is not layed out.
1: How can I scroll to component?
2: How can I scroll the component to the middle of the screen?
Here is the whole dialog:
