Hey chinito15,
do not worry ...
You must be having the following code snippets -

@ Two commands
@ main menu implementation
@ The part of the canvas that you want to show on the back command..

Follow like this,
@ Create the both commands
@ Add the commands on the form,
@ set the form as current displayable item,
@ set the command listener on the form
@ implement a method called as commandlistner(),it takes two params,display and command

make your code like this,inside this method,

if (command == back)
{
//set the current display what want on the action,
}
if(command == main-menu)
{
//set the current display as the main menu }
}
I hope that you can do it,these liens can help you,
if you still can not do this then follow the code example
public class TooManyCommands extends MIDlet implements CommandListener
{
private Display display; // Reference to Display object for this MIDlet
private Form fmMain; // The main Form
private TextBox tbAction; // Textbox to show when user selects upload/download
private Command cmExit; // Exit the MIDlet
private Command cmBack; // Go "back" to the main form
private Command cmUload; // "upload" data - no real action done
private Command cmDload; // "download" data - no real action done

public TooManyCommands()
{
display = Display.getDisplay(this);

cmExit = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 1);
cmBack = new Command("Back", Command.BACK, 1);
cmUload = new Command("Upload", Command.SCREEN, 2);
cmDload = new Command("Download", Command.SCREEN, 3);

// Create the Form, add Commands, listen for events
fmMain = new Form("Core J2ME");
fmMain.addCommand(cmExit);
fmMain.addCommand(cmUload);
fmMain.addCommand(cmDload);
fmMain.setCommandListener(this);

// Create a Textbox, add Command, listen for events
tbAction = new TextBox("Process Data", "Upload/download data ", 25, 0);
tbAction.addCommand(cmBack);
tbAction.setCommandListener(this);
}

// Called by application manager to start the MIDlet.
public void startApp()
{
display.setCurrent(fmMain);
}

// A required method
public void pauseApp()
{ }

// A required method
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
{ }

// Process events
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s)
{
if (c == cmExit)
{
destroyApp(false);
notifyDestroyed();
}
else if (c == cmUload || c == cmDload)
display.setCurrent(tbAction);
else if (c == cmBack)
display.setCurrent(fmMain);
}
}

Thanks,

Thank you for the reply, all of my forms that are going to be used are created in netbeans, private fmMainMenu and privatefm1stEquation

In my canvas.java , i have shown the buttons Back and Main Menu(not functioning)..

i have created

public void commandAction(command c, Displayable s){
if(c.getCommandType==BACK){
// I dont know what to put here
// This is to go back to the mainMidlet's last form that has been used
}
if(c.getCommandType==SCREEN){
//This should move to mainMidlet's main menu form
// I don't know what are the availble codes to call the action from this Canvas.java to mainMidlet
}
}

I really dont know to connect the buttons...

Hi,
Can you just tell me what you wana display on the back command.
and what on main menu..
And what is the code you have done,

I gave you that demo why dont you check that..
If it is simple application then you can put the code here,
let me check the same.
Thanks,

Did you received my e-mail sir?

its casamania_15@yahoo.com

If I understand all you have to do is a Display.setCurrent when you hit the buttons. Imagine that:

We declare two forms

Form form1 = new Form();
Form form2 = new Form();

and in the code where you define the buttons (I c&p from your code):

public void commandAction(command c, Displayable s){
if(c.getCommandType==BACK){
// I dont know what to put here
// This is to go back to the mainMidlet's last form that has
// been used
display.setCurrent(form1);

}
if(c.getCommandType==SCREEN){
//This should move to mainMidlet's main menu form
// I don't know what are the availble codes to call the action
//from this Canvas.java to mainMidlet
display.setCurrent(form2);
}
}

hope this can be useful for you

[chinito15]

My forms are in my other MIdlet.java file created from netbeans..

they are initialized private and i can't change them to public..

Do i need to declare them in my Canvas.java? how?

i hope mr. raj_j2me received my e-mail..

thanks for helping too

Hi,
Yeah I got the mail..however that I am not able to run ..due to the uncompleted code..or the packages..

Since you are using the netbeans created attributes then what I have understand is that you can change the access modifier of the forms at the time of the creation...

you can mail me the complete code and let me check..those files are not running..it is showing "org.netbeans.microedition.lcdui" this error,

Thanks,

[chinito15]

I've emailed you now sir, it contains my java files..

the mainmidlet and canvas.java

The overview of my project is described there sir..

thanks
