Hello Bo,

I hope you consider the ticket (ID#14) while writing the new implementation of the textarea. I was thinking of some logic that would work for both ltr and rtl languages and here what i found:

Keep the same logic of tokenizing, but instead of adding each word a Text element add 1 text element and keep on filling it until it consumes all the allowed width. Then, add a new Text element after it and repeat. This logic will display the rtl correct also.

Please let me know what you think about this.

This feature request has been moved to the 1.0.3 milestone.

Yes Ayman, this is I think the best way for reimplement textArea, but for the moment the TextArea word arrange is made by the default flowLayout. The realy best solution would be to not a two part of quite similar code in FlowLayout and TextArea ...

what i do?

    private void splitWords(String fullText, int style)
    {
        String str = fullText+" ";
        String word="";
        int len = str.length()-1;
        for (int i = 0; i <= len; i++) {
            char ch = str.charAt(i);
            if(i!=len)
                word = word + ch;
            if ((ch >= 48 && ch <= 57) || (ch >= 65 && ch <= 90) || (ch >= 97 && ch <= 122))
                continue;
            if (word.length() != 0 || i==len) {
                Text textWidget = new Text();
                textWidget.setText(word);
                if (style != Font.STYLE_PLAIN) {
                    textWidget.setDefaultFontStyle(style);
                }
                add(textWidget);
                word = "";
            }
        }
    }
