Slide in/out event in N97 using J2me

[rajivmodh]

Hi,

Is it possible to get N97 slide in/out event using J2me?

I am able to get landscape/portrait mode event but if slider is out or in is still confusing.

Regards,
Rajiv

I think in J2ME it's impossible. Though try to check Nokia UI API which supports some additional extras - probably it might be helpfull (I doubt)

If I remember correctly, I have never came across a way to capture Keyboard Slide events.

Thanks,

But is there any way to identify in N97 like devices that keyboard is active.
I am using virtual keyboard and on slide out event I want to hide it .

If keyboard is slide in and application in landscape mode than I want to show virtual keyboard.

So is that possible?

Please let me know

No, I'm afraid it is not possible.

Series 60 5th Edition devices do allow you to detect the keyboard type, but not the slide status.

Is it possible using midpjni???

Just trying to understand : What is your exact use case ? What are you trying to achieve out of that ?

Hi,

I have an J2ME application where on click on textfield virtual keyboard pops out.
On orientation change event (portrait/landscape) keyboard also gets changed from Alphanumeric/QWERTY.

portrait mode: Alphanumeric
landscape mode: QWERTY

N97 like devices having physical keyboard also.
And It's not feasible to show virtual keyboard when physical is on.

In landscape mode (sizechange event) I can hide virtual keyboard but N97 provides functionality such as,
sensor on for orientation.

So I want to get the slide in/out event to show/hide my virtual keyboard.

Will it generated any keypressed event? (I have tried but couldn't get any event there)

Somewhere I read that its possible for nokia device to get slide in/out event.
So is there any work around for that?

If you tried, and you didn't get an event, then you've answered your own question.

Somewhere I read that its possible for nokia device to get slide in/out event.

I suspect you found relating to native C++ applications, not Java.

Hi Rajiv,
As you above said that you have hide the virtual keyboard when device mode is landscape. For the showing the same on the portrait mode just do the reverse.
Is this makes sense?

Hi,

@raj: As far as I got your point, you mean to say that I hide/show keyboard on orientation change.
It's working but problem is with physical keyboard. I am not able to get any event for that.

Anyways ..thank you all.
I just thought other way round that will hide virtual keyboard on click of any physical key.
Hope it work out for me.

Thank you.
