Is there any way to force a List to show its items like this??
This works fine in the emulator , but when I run the app in the device(Nokia 208) every item is shown in a single line in which only a tiny part of the string is shown and the rest is completed with ellipsis.
This is how I create my list:
public class scrSearchResults extends List {
private final Product[] mData;
public static scrSearchResults create(Product[] data) {
int i = 0;
for (; i < data.length; i++) {
if (data[i] == null) {
break;
}
}
String[] names = new String[i];
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
names[j] = "[" + data[j].id + "] \n" + data[j].name + " \n" + data[j].price;
}
return new scrSearchResults(names, data);
}
protected scrSearchResults(String names[], Product[] data) {
super("Filter Results", IMPLICIT, names, null);
this.mData = data;
}
public Product getSelectedObject() {
return mData[this.getSelectedIndex()];
}
}
As you can see I'm trying to force a newline using '\n', but it only works on the emulator.
Do you know if it is possible to do this without using a library like LWUIT? I might use lwuit in the near future , but as for now I'm very short of time and I really need to find a way to do this so that once the first version of the project is accepted we can work on a second version in which I will definitely use lwuit. But if I fail now , there won't be any version to improve.
Please any help would be very much appreciated Thanks in advance.
