S40 Textfield.Number limited 10 digits

[rcaboni]

Hi,

i've a midlet with a TextField type TextField.NUMERIC,but in S40 if i setString long more the 10 digits a keep java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

If i initializing with "little" number and in editing a put 15 digits, all is ok
mainForm.append(new TextField("Number", "123456789", 15, TextField.NUMERIC));
add 012345 when i get getString return all 15 digits.

But if i setString go to IllegalArgumentException
TextField textField = new TextField("Number", "", 15, TextField.NUMERIC);
textField.setString("123456789012345");

In S60 run correctly.
Thanks Roberto

Hello Roberto,

which S40 Edition is this issue about? 2nd Edition, 3rd Edition, 3rd Ed., Feature Pack 1, 5th Edition or 5th Ed., Feature Pack 1?

In addition, please check this Known Issue in Forum Nokia Wiki for commenting:

In real 6234 (Series 40 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1) and in emulator (S40_5th_Edition_SDK_Feature_Pack_1) i reproduced the error.

Thanks for link, but this confirm in S40 there is a limits for NUMBER and DECIMAL, that i don't found in documentation.

The strange is that in editing accept the digits specified in length parameter, only when you set you keep and Exception.

TextField textField = new TextField("Number", "", 15, TextField.NUMERIC);
textField.setString("123456789012345");
OR
TextField textField = new TextField("Number", "123456789012345", 15, TextField.NUMERIC);

Thanks for you help.

In addition to TextField.NUMERIC, could you possibly have a chance to test these with your device & emulator?:

-TextField.DECIMAL
-TextField.ANY

Yes i can use TextField.ANY (DECIMAL have similar limit of NUMERIC), but i left input assistant to control user digit only number.

Ok if there'snt any other solution i check input afther input.

Bye and Thanks Roberto
