Set focus color on clickable array of HorizontalFieldManager in BlackBerry - arrays

Question

I have an array of horizontal fields which contains a bitmap and a labelfield each. The whole row should be clickable which is working so far, but how can I set the focus color properly? At the moment the onFocus and onUnfocus functions are being completely ignored.
This is the definition of my array:
for (int i = 0; i < listSize; i++) {
logInDetailManager[i] = new HorizontalFieldManager(
Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH | Field.FOCUSABLE) {
protected void onFocus(int direction) {
super.onFocus(direction);
background_color = Color.RED;
invalidate();
}
protected void onUnfocus() {
invalidate();
background_color = Color.GREEN;
}
And this is how I add my horizontal fields:
logInDetailManager[i].setChangeListener(this);
logInDetailManager[i].add(dummyIcon[i]);
logInDetailManager[i].add(new LabelField("hello"));
logInDetailManager[i].add(new NullField(Field.FOCUSABLE));
add(logInDetailManager[i]);

Sorry, I couldn't comment to my own post yesterday since I'm new to Stackoverflow ;)
Here's how I solved it:
I removed onFocus() and onUnfocus() from the HFM and set the background color in the paint method so the whole row color is changed when focused:
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
graphics.setBackgroundColor(isFocus() ? Color.RED : Color.GREEN);
graphics.clear();
invalidate();
super.paint(graphics);
}
I also found out that if you want to set more complex backgrounds (i.e. with a gradient) you can also use the setBackground(int visual, Background background) method:
Background bg_focus = (BackgroundFactory
.createLinearGradientBackground(Color.GREEN, Color.LIGHTGREEN,
Color.LIGHTGREEN, Color.GREEN));
loginDetailManager[i].setBackground(VISUAL_STATE_FOCUS, bg_focus);
Make sure to delete you're paint method when using the setBackground function like that!
