How to remove Soft keys

[aravindra]

Hi friends,

I developed a small application. On sony phones it is working fine. But when trying on Nokia phones (Ngage) I am seeing "Exit" button provided by the phone.
In my application I am already providing "Close" menu button.

I need help for the following issues

1) How to remove the default-menu-items provided by Nokia.
2) I want to get certification from Java-Verified for this application. Can I
use single certificate for all the Java-phones?

Please help me.

Thanks a lot in advance

Answer to 1:

Unfortunately, tou cannot remove it. If it annnoys you that much, you can reprogram everything to use full canvas, which is annoying in a different way.

Cheers.

Thanks for your immeadiate reply, Imtang.

But I am using J2ME SDK 1.04. And I did't find any "Full Canvas" feature. Can you please send me some sample code for "full canvas".

Sorry. I wasn't very clear with my terminology.

You have to use Canvas (or GameCanvas if you are programming a game) and use the setFullScreenMode() method. However, this is low level API, meaning if you are currently using High level API (forms, Customs items etc)... it will be a big pain.

For commands, you have to "paint" the commands onto the screen if you use this method and want to override the default "close button", and listen for key input from the user.

Imo, it is not worth the hassle unless it's desperately needed (eg. for a game). In most cases, I'd suggest leaving Nokia's default "close" button there.

Hello Ravi. I think we have a similar problem. In my case I'm displaying a list, and the phone is providing a default "SELECT" command as a soft key in the middle, which is not responding to the key presses. Though I have my own select command. Please if you get a solution to this problem, just be free to share it with me. Thanks in advance

for Lists its pretty simple :

use the commandlistener and compare the provided Command c to List.select as in

if(c == List.select)
do something

Hope I helped u out

off-topic : elly, diminuitive for eleonora ?

u can remove the Default SELECT command provided by phone on list by using list.removeCommand(List.SELECT_COMMAND)

Thanks.
