LWUIT TextArea Problem

[zzwei]

Hi all,

I has some problems with LWUIT TextArea, not sure whether anyone experiences this. I don't seem to be able to properly predict the length of my text in TextArea.

For example my text have 4 lines when display in the TextArea:

- If i set my TextArea's row as 1, it will be a TextField (Mentioned in docs)

- If i set my TextArea's row as 2 and GrowByContent as true, TextArea will contain around 8 lines of space, leaving a large gap.

- If i set my TextArea's row as 2 and GrowByContent as false, TextArea will cut my text to only 2 lines and a scrollbar will appear.

I don't wish to hard coded the row number as text length will change.

In all cases, my column is 20. Is there is specific meaning for column. Such as 20 means 20 characters? Row is self-explanatory, but what is column? How do we calculate it?

My font is not system font. It is Arial, size 11, plain. Will that affect GrowByContent length prediction?

I read the developer guide, it doesn't have much on TextArea. Please advise. Thanks

This is the nokia forum, LWUIT has got its own forum... have you tried asking there first ?
als, column seems as self-explanatory as row to me... if you have ever worked with tables (databases, html, php etc) it should be as well for you...

Hi Fernando.Moreno ,

if you are looking to develop LWUIT application for S40, there is a Nokia implementation of LWUIT for S40 available here https://projects.developer.nokia.com..._for_Series_40

you can try and see the behavior in S40 version of LWUIT. if you still get the same behavior then file a ticket here https://projects.developer.nokia.com...order=priority

My font is not system font. It is Arial, size 11, plain. Will that affect GrowByContent length prediction?

yes, font effects the length of the content.
