Yes, but we can capture the button's behavior in kaa.candy and leave how it
is painted to the theme. Since I have not created any theme in Freevo nor
used clutter I cannot say much. But in the company where I work I am
developing a complete widget toolkit for j2me phones. I developed all the
widgets (scrollbars, scrollview, buttons, lists, and some other layout
managers) and decorators (theme dependent) into the toolkit. The widgets are
a way to capture behavior (based on focus, key and touch events) and layout.
While the painting is handled by the decorators. So my button widget has
these methods (with implementation of course):
protected void sizeChanged(int newW, int newH);
protected int[] updateComponentInternal(int maxWidth, int maxHeight);
public void setActive(boolean active);
public boolean isActive();
public boolean keyPressed(int keyCode);
public boolean pointerPressed(int x, int y);
...
But the paint method uses a button decorator which is defined in a theme.
protected void paintContainer(GoogleGraphics g) {
CButtonDecorator d = Theme.getCurrentTheme().getButtonDecorator();
d.paintButton(g, 0, 0, realW, realH, active);
}
The disadvantage is that the themes should have all the decorators for all
the widgets. Also as new widgets are added their corresponding decorators
need to be added to all the themes. Some widgets don't have decorators. They
are just layout managers like List, DialogBox, TabPane, Table etc. Widgets
with decorators will be Checkbox, RadioButton, Tab, Button, Scrollbar,
Selector etc. I am trying to make the code opensource so that everyone can
have more visibility. Not sure if Freevo would like to go along these lines.
Either way I will try to add some widgets when I can.
