Newline on Form screen

[rapix]

I am working on Nokia 3650/7650 and 7210. I have a form on which I use the append method to display text (About Screen). I notice that the 3650/7650s displays all the text in a single line (without carriage return), where as 7210 displays everything in new line everytime append is called. 7210 is compatible with non-Nokia devices such as iDEN, Blackberry and Sony Ericsson P800. I want 3650/7650 to behave the same way.

If I append "\n" at the end of append() call, other devices (Blackberry, SE P800) display additional carriage returns between lines. And the 3650/7650 display text properly formatted.

Replacing "\n" with "\r" doesnt help. The 3650/7650 displays a square wherever I put a "\r".

Hi!

To force a new line between 2 items you can add the following line:
mForm.append(new ImageItem("",null,ImageItem.LAYOUT_NEWLINE_AFTER,null));

I hope this helps

This approach puts many additional carriage returns to the form screen on other devices (iDEN, SE P800 etc). Though, with Nokia Series 60, the appearance is good.

I want an approach that works for all devices to avoid making different builds for different platforms.

Take care,
