Codenameone - Calendar createDay() Navigation - codenameone

Question

I hand-coded my app using CN1 (based on CN1's standard form template). Mostly for using Calendar for appointment app (I have reason not to use Picker).
Here's my main Form class
public class celebriesta {
private Form current;
private Resources theme;
private Form home;
public void init(Object context) {
theme = UIManager.initFirstTheme("/theme");
// Enable Toolbar on all Forms by default
Toolbar.setGlobalToolbar(true);
// Pro only feature
Log.bindCrashProtection(true);
}
public void start() {
if (current != null) {
current.show();
return;
}
home = new Form("Home", BoxLayout.y());
mainCalendar Calendar = new mainCalendar();
home.addComponent(Calendar);
Calendar.setUIID("Calendar");
//Create Form1 and Form2 and set a Back Command to navigate back to the home Form
Form form1 = new Form("Form1");
setBackCommand(form1);
Form form2 = new Form("Form2");
setBackCommand(form2);
Form form3 = new Form("Form3");
setBackCommand(form3);
//Add navigation commands to the home Form
NavigationCommand cmd1 = new NavigationCommand("Form1");
cmd1.setNextForm(form1);
home.getToolbar().addCommandToSideMenu(cmd1);
NavigationCommand cmd2 = new NavigationCommand("Form2");
cmd2.setNextForm(form2);
home.getToolbar().addCommandToSideMenu(cmd2);
NavigationCommand cmd3 = new NavigationCommand("Form3");
cmd3.setNextForm(form3);
Calendar.createDay().pressed();
Calendar.createDay().released();
Calendar.createDay().setCommand(cmd3);
//Add Edit commands to the home Form context Menu
Image im = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_MODE_EDIT, UIManager.getInstance().getComponentStyle("Command"));
Command edit = new Command("", im) {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
System.out.println("Editing");
}
};
home.getToolbar().addCommandToRightBar(edit);
home.show();
}
protected void setBackCommand(Form f) {
Command back = new Command("") {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
home.showBack();
}
};
Image img = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_ARROW_BACK, UIManager.getInstance().getComponentStyle("TitleCommand"));
back.setIcon(img);
f.getToolbar().addCommandToLeftBar(back);
f.getToolbar().setTitleCentered(true);
f.setBackCommand(back);
}
public void stop() {
current = getCurrentForm();
}
public void destroy() {
}}
I've override Calendar class accordingly
public class mainCalendar extends Calendar { #Override
protected Button createDay(){ Button day = new Button();
Image im = FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_MODE_EDIT, UIManager.getInstance().getComponentStyle("Command"));
day.setIcon(im);
return day;
}
#Override
protected void updateButtonDayDate(Button dayButton, int currentMonth, int day) {
//Customize day values
dayButton.setText("" +day);
}}
The main Form manages to get to Form 1 & 2 (sidemenu). I know Form 3 does exist but not sure why it didn't managed to be 'reached' from createDay(). And I suspect it's something wrong somewhere around this code in main Form
Calendar.createDay().pressed();
Calendar.createDay().released();
Calendar.createDay().setCommand(cmd3);
Need advise and/or help.

Have a look at a sample code here that creates a custom calendar day component. You don't need the below code:
Calendar.createDay().pressed();
Calendar.createDay().released();
Calendar.createDay().setCommand(cmd3);
Calendar day pressing and releasing is handled through an actionListener which you can implement through overriding the bindDayListener() if you're using a custom day component or addDayActionListener() if you're using the default day button. An example will be:
Calendar.addDayActionListener(evt -> {
//show your next form here
});
Unless you need a high-level customization, I don't see a point subclassing the Calendar class.
