Cn1 dialog box height auto fix - codenameone

I have a dialog box that has picker and other components. I need its height auto fix where the last component ends. In the pic below, it should end after submit button.
Code:
Dialog selectDialog = new Dialog();
selectDialog.setLayout(new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
selectDialog.getAllStyles().setMargin(0, 0, 0, 0);
Container pickerContainer = new Container(new BorderLayout());
Picker p = new Picker();
p.setStrings(outlets);
Label arrowLabel = new Label(pickerIcon);
arrowLabel.setUIID("Container");
pickerContainer.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, p);
pickerContainer.add(BorderLayout.EAST, arrowLabel);
Label nameLabel = new Label("Name");
Label nameData = new Label("Santosh Kandel");
Label locationLabel = new Label("Location");
Label locationData = new Label("Baneswor");
Label timeLabel = new Label("Time");
Label timeData = new Label("09:47");
Label dateLabel = new Label("Date");
Label dateData = new Label("2017-2-10");
TableLayout dialogTable = new TableLayout(7, 2);
Container attendenceTableContainer = new Container(dialogTable);
attendenceTableContainer.getAllStyles().setMargin(0, 0, 50, 50);
attendenceTableContainer.add(dialogTable.createConstraint().widthPercentage(30), nameLabel)
.add(dialogTable.createConstraint().widthPercentage(70), nameData)
.add(dialogTable.createConstraint().widthPercentage(30), locationLabel)
.add(dialogTable.createConstraint().widthPercentage(70), locationData)
.add(dialogTable.createConstraint().widthPercentage(30), timeLabel)
.add(dialogTable.createConstraint().widthPercentage(70), timeData)
.add(dialogTable.createConstraint().widthPercentage(30), dateLabel)
.add(dialogTable.createConstraint().widthPercentage(70), dateData);
Button submitButton = new Button("Submit");
selectDialog.add(pickerContainer);
selectDialog.add(attendenceTableContainer);
selectDialog.add(FlowLayout.encloseCenter(submitButton));
selectDialog.showAtPosition(200, 200, 50, 50, false);
I tried d.showPopupDialog(component) but it didnot place the dialog where I wanted. Here I want it at the top of the form with some margin and in some cases at a specif location as well. Thank You

You can use showStretched or showPacked depending on if you want the Dialog to take up the screen width or resized to fit the size of the widest component, and you can define the position it should popup at:
selectDialog.setAutoDispose(false);
selectDialog.setDisposeWhenPointerOutOfBounds(true);
selectDialog.setTransitionInAnimator(CommonTransitions.createSlide(CommonTransitions.SLIDE_VERTICAL, false, 300));
selectDialog.setTransitionOutAnimator(CommonTransitions.createSlide(CommonTransitions.SLIDE_VERTICAL, true, 800));
selectDialog.showStretched(BorderLayout.NORTH, true);

menuBtn.addActionListener((evt) -> {

});
Thanks in advance for the support.
The menu is constructed when things are added to it and since you didn't add anything into the menu it was never constructed. Just add items to the menu e.g.:
tb.addMaterialCommandToLeftSideMenu("Hello", materialIcon, e -> {});

Focus behaviour in textArea in cn1

I have a textArea which works alright. I've a minor issue here. As soon as there is focus in the textArea, there is no text cursor blinking. It seems like the app hangs here. I've to touch the outside of the textArea and click it again to make it work. And when the other component is touched the keypad stays as before. In the second try only does the textArea has blinking text cursor.
Have a look at the video here.
public Booking(Resources res) {
super(new BorderLayout());
Container mainContainer = new Container(new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
mainContainer.setScrollableY(true);
Label datePickerIconLabel = new Label(addIcon);
Picker datePicker = new Picker();
datePicker.setUIID("small");
datePicker.setType(Display.PICKER_TYPE_DATE);
Container datePickerContainer = BoxLayout.encloseX(datePickerIconLabel, datePicker);
mainContainer.add(datePickerContainer);
TextArea remarksArea = new TextArea();
remarksArea.setUIID("TextField");
remarksArea.setConstraint(TextField.NON_PREDICTIVE);
remarksArea.setRows(4);
remarksArea.getAllStyles().setAlignment(Label.TOP);
remarksArea.setHint(" Remarks");
remarksArea.getHintLabel().setUIID("TextField");
remarksArea.getAllStyles().setPadding(2, 2, 2, 2);
remarksArea.getHintLabel().getAllStyles().setPadding(2, 2, 2, 2);
mainContainer.add(remarksArea);
add(BorderLayout.CENTER, mainContainer);
}

Bg image issue - cn1

I'm stuck in a simple animation code which has a no. of components in the container moves from top of the screen to a specific position. I have a bg image set in the UIID "AttempTitle" in the container consisting all the component. The problem is while all the components moves from top, the bg img is not seen until it reaches the specific position and it appears at last. How can I make the bg Image move along with the components.
I got another problem while doing it. I have a bg image in the title container. While the animation is taking place, the green bg image of the title container disappears for a second too. How that happened, I cannot figure out.
I have a video uploaded in the youtube incase you didn't understand the problem have a look at it.

attempt1 = new Label(attemptIcon);
attempt2 = new Label(attemptIcon);
attempt3 = new Label(attemptIcon);
attempt4 = new Label(attemptIcon);
attempt5 = new Label(attemptIcon);
attemptContainer = BoxLayout.encloseX(attempt1, attempt2, attempt3, attempt4, attempt5);
Container titleContainer = new Container(new GridLayout(1));
titleContainer.add(FlowLayout.encloseCenterMiddle(attemptContainer));
add(BorderLayout.NORTH, titleContainer);
attemptContainer.getParent().setUIID("AttempTitle");
attemptContainer.getParent().setPreferredW(screenWidth / 3);

questionAnswerContainer.add(a);
titleDialog = new Label("Yuppie!");
body1 = new Label("Let’s celebrate");

titleDialog.getAllStyles().setMarginTop((dialogContainer.getPreferredW() / 3) + 30);
dialogContainer.getParent().setVisible(false);//using setHidden(true) gives same issue
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
checkIfCorrect(Test.this);
}
};
if (timer == null) {
timer = new UITimer(r);
}
if (timer != null) {
timer.schedule(5000, false, Test.this); //4 seconds
}
revalidate();
checkIfCorrect method:
public void checkIfCorrect(Form f) {
dialogContainer.getParent().setY(-Display.getInstance().getDisplayHeight());
dialogContainer.getParent().setVisible(true);
f.animateHierarchyAndWait(1200);
f.setTransitionInAnimator(null);
}
toolbar code:
Toolbar toolbar = new Toolbar();
form.setToolbar(toolbar);
Container containerTitle = new Container(new BorderLayout());
toolbar.setTitleComponent(LayeredLayout.encloseIn(containerTitle, FlowLayout.encloseCenter(ruslanLogo)))
//there r 4 buttons inside containerTitle container
You should use animateLayout instead of animateHierarchy start by setting the element you want as visible false then show. Then set it's Y to the right location set it to visible and do the animate layout.
The problem is that the background sizing/position of the Container doesn't work properly as a result of the animation.

keyboard issue in iOS - codenameone

I have a addEvent form. Here there are a no. of fields to be filled by user. There are textfields, pickers, textArea etc. When i have focus on the textfield in the top of the form, the keyboard works good. I notice the done button in the keypad is at the bottom of keyboard. But as soon as the textfield or textArea at the bottom of the form get focused, the keyboard with the done button at the top of keyboard is shown. After the done botton is clicked, there is the white blank space at the top of form that i think the height keyboard occupies before.
update 1: descriptionTextArea gives the issue.
f.setLayout(new BoxLayout(BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
Label eventImage = new Label();
TextField eventNameTextField = new TextField();
Button uploadImg = new Button(theme.getImage("uploadImg.png"));
//uploadImg actionListener code is skipped here
Container eventNameContainer = new Container(new BorderLayout());
Label maxSizeLabel = new Label("Max size 1mb");
Container wrapUploadIconAndMsg = new Container(new BorderLayout());
wrapUploadIconAndMsg.add(BorderLayout.WEST, uploadImg);
wrapUploadIconAndMsg.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, maxSizeLabel);
eventNameContainer.add(BorderLayout.NORTH, (BoxLayout.encloseY(eventImage, wrapUploadIconAndMsg)));
eventNameContainer.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, (eventNameTextField));
Picker startDate = new Picker();
Picker startTime = new Picker();
Container startContainer = GridLayout.encloseIn(2, startDate, startTime);
Label timeIcon = new Label(iconEvent);
Container wrapStartContainer = BoxLayout.encloseX(FlowLayout.encloseCenter(timeIcon), (startContainer));
Label timeIconInvisible = new Label(iconEvent);
timeIconInvisible.setVisible(false);
Picker endDate = new Picker();
Picker endTime = new Picker();
Container endContainer = GridLayout.encloseIn(2, endDate, endTime);
Container wrapEndContainer = BoxLayout.encloseX((timeIconInvisible), FlowLayout.encloseCenterBottom(endContainer));
Label descriptionIcon = new Label();
descriptionIcon.setIcon(iconDescription);
TextArea descriptionTextArea = new TextArea();
descriptionTextArea.setRows(4);
descriptionTextArea.setMaxSize(240);
descriptionTextArea.setVerticalAlignment(Label.TOP);
Container descriptionContainer = new Container(new BorderLayout());
descriptionContainer.add(BorderLayout.WEST, descriptionIcon);
descriptionContainer.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, descriptionTextArea);
Container wrapEventContainer = BoxLayout.encloseY(eventNameContainer, wrapStartContainer, wrapEndContainer, descriptionContainer);
f.add(wrapEventContainer);
f.revalidate();
1)initial form:
2)keyboard with done button at the bottom of keyboard (works fine here) -textfield at top of the form is used.
3)keyboard with done button at the top of keyboard(problem arise after done is touched)
4)the issue after done is pressed. (blank white area is seen) I think its height equals to the height of keyboard

Removing border from TextArea in CodenameOne causes the component to stop growing to fit text

I want to implement a TextArea in CodenameOne as follows:
private Container getMessageContainer(String message) {
Container con = new Container(new BorderLayout());
TextArea ta = new TextArea();
ta.setGrowByContent(true);
ta.setSingleLineTextArea(false);
ta.setScrollVisible(true);
ta.setUIID("DialogTextArea");
ta.setEditable(false);
ta.setFocusable(false);
ta.setText(message);
con.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER, ta);
return con;
}
I then have a Theme Component in the theme.res file called DialogTextArea deriving TextArea, as follows:
This TextArea is then put on a Dialog as follows:
public MessageDialog(NotificationType notificationType, String title, String message,
boolean fallback) {
this.notificationType = notificationType;
this.fallback = fallback;
this.buildTitle(title);
this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER, getContentConainer(message));
this.addComponent(BorderLayout.SOUTH, getButtonContainer());
}
private Container getContentConainer(String message) {
Container con = new Container(new BorderLayout());
con.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER, getMessageContainer(message));
return con;
}
Where MessageDialog extends Dialog.
This does work well, and I get the following results:
And:
However, when I remove the border from the theme in the theme.res, turning it into an Empty border, I get this as a result:
As well as
This does mean there are some inconsistencies when I wish to remove the border.
Is there any way to get the text to always display when I do not want a border? I tried changing the padding and margin properties, but to no avail.
This is all using the Native theme.
Any help would be appreciated.
private Container getMessageContainer(String message) {
Container con = new Container(new BorderLayout());
TextArea ta = new TextArea();
ta.setGrowByContent(true);
ta.setSingleLineTextArea(false);
ta.setScrollVisible(true);
ta.setUIID("DialogTextArea");
ta.setEditable(false);
ta.setFocusable(false);
ta.setText(message);
con.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER, ta);
Label transparentLabel = new Label("");
transparentLabel.getAllStyle().setBgColor(0xffffffff);
con.addComponent(BorderLayout.SOUTH, transparentLabel);
return con;
}
This gives a temporary solution.
You need to remove the border from the selected, unselected states as well as the padding from both. If you don't do that we will pick the "most" option and go with that to prevent "jumping" on every focus change.
Note that selected state is still applicable even if you selected the component to not have focus or editability.
