BlackBerry Field Alignment

Question

I am using HorizontalFieldManager with Field.USE_ALL_WIDTH and Field.FIELD_HCENTER but Field.FIELD_HCENTER is not working below is how I am constructing HorizontalFieldManager

HorizontalFieldManager horizontalContainer = new HorizontalFieldManager(Field.USE_ALL_WIDTH | FIELD_HCENTER);

Answer 1

The Field class provides the following style bits for alignment:

Horizontal alignment styles

• FIELD_LEFT
• FIELD_HCENTER
• FIELD_RIGHT

Vertical alignment styles

• FIELD_TOP
• FIELD_VCENTER
• FIELD_BOTTOM

The horizontal alignment styles are only recognized when a Field is added to a VerticalFieldManager, and the vertical alignment styles only apply when a Field is added to a HorizontalFieldManager. Fields added to a HorizontalFieldManager are ALWAYS aligned to the left.

Answer 2

Declare in the following format

HorizontalFieldManager horizontalContainer = new HorizontalFieldManager(Field.USE_ALL_WIDTH |DrawStyle.HCENTER);

Answer 3

Try like this in separate class and see the output:

HorizontalFieldManager hr=new HorizontalFieldManager(Field.FIELD_HCENTER);
hr.add(new LabelField("Black",Field.FOCUSABLE));        
hr.add(new LabelField("Berry",Field.FOCUSABLE));
add(hr);

Enough;
