Need euqivalent method of pointerPressed(int x,int y) for Nokia series 40 5th edition

[ravi.joshi53]

I am trying to develop cursor in my midlet application. i have already add cursor using drawImage() method. now i want to move it using navigation keys up down left and right... I developed this code:

void keyPressed(int keyCode){
int key=keyCode;
switch(key){
case -1: // to move up the cursor
cursorY--;
repaint();
break;
case -2: // to move down the cursor
cursorY++;
repaint();
break;
case -1: // to move left the cursor
cursorX--;
repaint();
break;
case -1: // to move right the cursor
cursorX++;
repaint();
break;
default:
repaint();
break;
}
this code is working properly but the only one problem is that to move the cursor from top to bottom, i have to press down key so many times..... I need any dragging concept to move the cursor.... i mean once i keep pressed a key for some time, cursor moves continue. In the above program, to move cursor, one has to keep press and unpressed the key continue.

The method pointerPressed(int x,int y) is unsupported by all series 40 devices, so how to develop our own same method using existing API.

Don't start the different threads for the same point/issues, already you have started this thread.

You can do it using - keyRepeated() and pointerPressed(int x,int y) is not needed for this.

OR

You can do this by starting a loop that keep's on repeating the Cursor movement i.e. (cursorY-- / cursorY++/cursorX++/cursorX--) & calling repaint() in in your keyPressed() method till keyRelease() is not called, by using a global boolean variable repeat.
try

 
// declare a call level boolean variable repeat at the start of your class

void keyPressed(int keyCode){
int key=keyCode;
repeat= true;
do while(repeat){
switch(key){
case -1: // to move up the cursor 
cursorY--;
repaint();
break;
case -2: // to move down the cursor 
cursorY++;
repaint();
break;
case -1: // to move left the cursor 
cursorX--;
repaint();
break;
case -1: // to move right the cursor 
cursorX++;
repaint();
break;
default:
repaint();
break;
}
void keyReleased(int keyCode)
{
 repeat = false;
}
