Hi,

Does KUIX as plans to support table's in future. Looking for xml based table UI Which when rendered would allow the users to view the scrollable table with x rows and y columns.

Tofu,

Thank you for cthe caution. We shall correct it to be in line to yoru design.

Just wanted to say in the latest release <listitem onAction="${name}" style="gap:5 0"> is also working. Not sure if this is against the design or some thoughts have gone to support it this way too.

A Screen taking text with varied font styles should be pefectly possible..But with in a text areas, if you need part of the input typed by the user to be in one color and other part in different color.. you may have to write your own custom widget of TextArea/TextFile and overide the paint() method... Not sure it this approach is right.. May be KUIX Dev team could add more insites to this.

Hi,

In the interest of others.. ,

One approach to get the widget which is currently focused and has the onMessage Event associated with it is to use FocuseManager

getFocusManager().getFocusedWidget(), Once you have widget, you could use getDataProvider() method of the widget to know the details of the dynamic data used to create the widget. In this case the name value used.

Second approach as communcated by as suresh argument[0] is always the dataprovider for the method call onMessage() call, so one could get the DataProvider directly casting argument[0] - Could kuix team verify this if this is always true.

3rd Approach is to assign the a district string to on action so that the value of the message you get is district string item.

Change the render to have a onaction value coming from the dataprovider

 <_renderer>
  <![CDATA[
   <listitem onAction="${name}" style="gap:5 0">
    <picture src="${img}"/>
    <text>@{name}</text>
   </listitem>
   ]]>
     </_renderer>

so that the string value you get onMessage would be same as what is displayed as menu item.

Followup questions to kuix team:

1. Can we not get name from the ListItem Widget itself, rather than going though DataProvider like I can get Background details etc.
2. When we changed <listitem onAction="@{name}" style="gap:5 0">
    <picture src="${img}"/>
    <text>@{name}</text>
   </listitem>

   - Observe that onAction is taking @{name} instead of ${name}.. then onAction did not had the name replacement.. I am still unclear on where to use @ and where to use $. You inputs w.r.t this case would help.

3. Is there a document to show the list of default arguments one could expect against onMessage.
4. Could you point me to the syntax of dataprovider usage in xml which support custom arguments.. and what would be the impact of such custom arguments if there already some defaults are sent by kuix. - In the current context assume that name has been declared to have few custom arguments. in such case assuming argument[0] as DataProvider is reasonable

Could you try  replacing this

 <listItem onfocus="contactfocus" style="layout:borderlayout" onAction="show">
               
                <container style="layout:inlinelayout(false,fill)">
                    <text >@{name}</text>
                </container>
                             
            </listItem>

with

 <listItem onfocus="contactfocus" style="layout:borderlayout" onAction="show">                                
                    @{name}                                             
            </listItem>

Hi,

We are using IE to auto login with remember check box checked. However the auto login does not happen to the forum. Is this a known issue.. Pl. see if you could fix this.. as we have been observing this more than few months now.

Hi,

We see most of the interface methods for custom  extentions does not support exception throwing in methods. Would it not be a good approach to let these methods throw the exception so that they could be handled in a central place in an application.

Specially the kind of errors which could happen with j2me app could be very high and handling at the method impl.. may have big issues.

e.g are

    public Widget convertWidgetTag(final String aWidgetName)

should have been

    public Widget convertWidgetTag(final String aWidgetName) throws Exception

And also widgets

    protected void doLayout() ..

Kindly consider to let most of the interace methods to throw exception.. this would mean if the user wants to support with in method he could remove the exception from signature else allow the application writers to handle all the exceptions from central location.

Could try removing Scrollpane and see if this works fine..I am aware of scrollpane not jumping by one item..it moves by pixcels.

Or else, the menu seems to be very big.. and is not a good design in my view..

Try to reduce the no of menu items.

Follow up questions to KUIX team pl..

1. Is it possible to control the exact size and location of the pop-up.

2. Is it possible to define a different font for menus (if yes, suresh try to used small font to fit in the screen)

3. Can the sub menu have different font than the main menu

4. What is the algorithem used to decide the position of menu and submenus (accademic interest only)

5. How to say scrollpane to jump by x pixels.

6. Would it be possible to use list instead of scrolpane in menupopup. The list does jump by one item at a time.

Hi,

Some of the phones have screen fliping.. i.e moving from portrait to landscape view.. Does kuix support auto flipping..

Regards,

Nagendra

Any support please..

As of now.. it is not possible.. see the reply from kuix team on the similar question at

http://www.kalmeo.org/forum/topic/337/kuix-inline-textfield/1

I understand the tradeoff.. we do the following in our products we delivar to our clients.. We don't have a single binary build for all the devices.. but do have single source for all the devices.. This way we have a different binaries build from single source.. and during the build time some of the keycodes and device specific code changes happen..

Some thing similar to j2mepolish.. but we are different that we don't have a preprocessing logic as it makes IDE adoption and development very difficult.

Kindly see if you could explore more options which makes kuix adoptablity in form based apps..
