Display.setCurrent and Display.getCurrent

[kruncher]

Hi all,

I am experiencing a problem with Display.setCurrent and Display.getCurrent. I understand that a call to getCurrent will not always return the latest display.

Is there a way to wait until it has?

display.setCurrent(nextDisplayable);
while (display.getCurrent() != nextDisplayable)
;

I have tried the above, but it never breaks out of the loop.

Many thanks,
Lea Hayes

If you do this in an event handler, you block the event system from making the new Displayable current, hence is locks (the condition can never be met).

You need to wait for an event (like paint() or showNotify()).

Thanks again Graham, that worked like a charm.
