Splash screen

[RetroMoFo]

I have some simple code for displaying a splash screen. Assum _canvas refers to an instantiated FullCanvas subclass and that its keyPressed event sets lastKey...

// Display splash screen
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(_canvas);
for (int index = 0; index < 40; index++) {
try {
_canvas.repaint();
if (_canvas.lastKey != -1) break;
Thread.sleep(50);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
}
// Do other stuff

My question is, why does this work on the 7210 emulator and NOT on a 7210 handset? On the actual handset, it displays the splash screen fine, but pressing a key doesn't move on. Hmph. Any ideas?

I have used this code succesfully i my own apps, you'll need to adapt it for you own uses, but it works great on emulators and my 7650 device.



public class SplashScreen extends FullCanvas { // note the use of FullCanvas, this is Nokia specific.
private Display display;
private Displayable next;
private int theTime;
private Timer timer = new Timer();
private Image SplashImage;

public SplashScreen( Display display,Displayable next,String PicPath,int theTime) {
this.display = display;
this.next = next;
this.theTime = theTime;
SplashImage = Common.loadNamedImage("/"+PicPath);
}

protected void keyPressed( int keyCode ){
dismiss();
}

protected void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(SplashImage, 0, 0, Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
}

protected void pointerPressed( int x, int y ){
dismiss();
}

protected void showNotify(){
timer.schedule( new CountDown(), theTime );
}

private void dismiss(){
timer.cancel();
display.setCurrent(next);
}

private class CountDown extends TimerTask {
public void run(){
dismiss();
}
}
}

my question may seem foolish
but forgive a new programmer

how to invoke your class , mugent?
