Cannot Start UI design, Please check your code for errors

[prayagnarula]

Hi,

I am new to J2Me development and even newer to Carbide.j

I am using 1.0 version integrated with Eclipse v3.1 . Now the problem is that sometimes during flow designing I get this error when I switch to UI desing windows:

Cannot start Nokia UI designer, Please check your code for errors

Now, i haven't changed the code as yet. Haven't even opened the window. So, why this error. There is no error in my code. I think it has something to do with naming as components as this happens generally when I rename an added component. Is this a bug in carbide or what?

Can someone help ??

hi,

I've checked release notes for "Eclilpse/UI Designer" issues and none is matching basic description you've provided,
can you follow any step-by-step guide from Carbide.j documentation to see what is happening while starting entire project from scratch? (Section 12: Designer and 17.8.3 UI Designer)

regards,
Peter

This is actually the second time this has happened. This is what happens:-

1. I start a new project. Add a few forms. Then I interconnect them with a few commands. And then I change the display names of these commands according to my convinence. Then I go to UI designer and add a few component. And I also rename the command names and component names for e.g. from command1 to say commandNext.

I think there lies the issue.If the names of the component or the command is too big. I cannot start the UI designer again for that form. And the error message is displayed. There is no problem with the code and the emulator runs fine too. If I change the name to a smaller name I can use the UI designer again.

This is what happens exactly (twice, it happened). I have this nasty habit of giving long names to variables. I would have to give it up I think. Though the problem is solved by giving smaller names but guys should look into it.
