Hi guys,

I am new with BlackBerry JDE, and need your help in using GaugeField to update the value of progress bar using the value of i in the for statementthat loops so I could see if the value increases from 0 until it reaches 100...

Could anyone please help me... I have my code below... Please help and Thanks in advance.

You should use doPaint() method to update visually the progress bar.

Hi pa4o85,

Thanks for your info.

Do you have any sample code... I have no idea on using doPaint() since I am just starting to learn.

Thanks in advance.

i don't think you need doPaint() as the GaugeField delivers the functionality you need.
Without trying your code i see two obscure things:
- your comment (seems to be a sample) mentions to extend mainscreen, you extend popupscreen.
- you create a timer but you don't use it.

int i=0;
progressTask = new TimerTask() {
   public void run() {
      percentGauge.setValue(i);
      i++;
   }
};

Timer progressTimer = new Timer();
progressTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(progressTask, 100, 10000);

this would update the gauge field every 100ms with a 1% progress. didn't test it though

I use a class ProgressBar like this. It works for me, perfectly:

public class ProgressBar {
  private PopupScreen popup;
  private GaugeField gaugeField;
  private LabelField label;
  private CustomButtonField cancelButton;
  
  private ProgressStatus monitor;
  private boolean isCanceled = false;

  /**
   * Object constructor
   * 
   * @param monitor - ProgressStatus, that shows the percents of the progress and
   *        the database that is synchronizing at the current moment
   * @param title - Text to display on popup area
   * @see GaugeField
   * @see PopupScreen
   */
  public ProgressBar(ProgressStatus monitor, String title) {
    this.monitor = monitor;
    monitor.setMessage(title);
    
    FontFamily fontFamily[] = FontFamily.getFontFamilies();
    Font font = fontFamily[3].getFont(FontFamily.SCALABLE_FONT, 12);
    
    DialogFieldManager manager = new DialogFieldManager();
    popup = new PopupScreen(manager);
    label = new LabelField(title);
    gaugeField = new GaugeField(null, 0, 100, 20, GaugeField.PERCENT);
    synchronized (UiApplication.getEventLock()) {
      cancelButton = new CustomButtonField("Cancel", font, 30, 20) {
        public boolean trackwheelClick(int status, int time) {
          //Dialog.alert("here");
          isCanceled = true;
          return true;
        }
      };
    }
    manager.addCustomField(label);
    manager.addCustomField(gaugeField);
    manager.addCustomField(cancelButton);
  }
  
  public void open() {
     UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(popup);
     popup.doPaint();
  }
  
  public void update() {
    int percents = monitor.getPercents();
    if (gaugeField.getValue() <= percents) {
      label.setText(monitor.getMessage());
      gaugeField.setValue(percents);
    }
    popup.doPaint();
  }
  
  public void close() {
    UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        if (popup.isDisplayed()) {
          UiApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(popup);
        }
      }
    });
  }

  public boolean isCanceled() {
    return isCanceled;
  }

  public void setCanceled(boolean isCanceled) {
    this.isCanceled = isCanceled;
  }
  
}

I mean Screen.doPaint() method as it is a part of the functionality of GaugeField as it extends it. I think without doPaint() i can not see the progress itself and the new-setted values.
