This section keeps track of all updates and changes between releases of J2ME GUI.
From time to time, the current status of the latest unreleased version will also
be reported here.
|
|
| - | Moved to fullscreen mode instead. This was forced by a bug ("design choice") in many newer Nokia devices. It does not trigger key events for the Select button unless in fullscreen mode and only if not using the phone's built-in menu system. As a result, compatibility with a few older devices not supporting fullscreen was sacrificed. You can switch back to non-fullscreen mode using GUICanvas.setFullscreenMode(false). |
| - | Added GUICanvas.GUIKEY_LEFTSOFT and GUICanvas.GUIKEY_RIGHTSOFT. |
| - | Converted current menu system to fullscreen menu support. |
| - | Added GUICanvas.toggleMenu to open and close menu. |
| - | Added GUICanvas.getIsMenuShown. |
| - | Added the MenuItem class with properties for Text and Value. Simplifies menus. |
| - | For GUICanvas, changed addCommand to addMenuItem, removeCommand to removeMenuItem, getCommands to getMenuItems, and removeAllCommands to removeAllMenuItems. |
| - | Added GUICanvas.insertMenuItemAt to insert a menu item in a specific index. |

| - | Added GUICanvas.setMenuItemClickedListener and GUICanvas.getMenuItemClickedListener to provide similar functionality as with command menus. |
| - | Added Image.scaleAliased for bi-linear image scaling. This is much slower than the Image.scale function, so only use it when quality is a concern. |
| - | Added soft keyboard support. |
| - | Added touch screen support for menu system. |
| - | Added touch screen support for components. |
| - | Added Scrollbar.getIsVisible that can be used to determine if the scrollbar is actually drawn. |
