Hi All

Please help me in resolving this exception, I got from the latest 8800 device JDE Simulator.

The detail exception message is "Layout requested during layout".

This exception occurs while trying to view a mainscreen custom application and this terminates the execution and if I press the Step Into button several times, It continues to display the screen.

Thanks In Advance
Anand

Hi bemshaswing,



This is the code that creates this exception.

if (result.trim().length() > 0) {
   if (COMM.isPhoneField(fg) || COMM.isEmailField(fg) || COMM.isURLField(attribute)) {

   ActiveAutoTextEditField tt = new ActiveAutoTextEditField(keylabel, result, lenid1,Field.FOCUSABLE);
   tt.setEditable(false);
   vfmfields.add(tt);

   } else {

   AutoTextEditField ttt = new AutoTextEditField(keylabel,result, lenid1, Field.FOCUSABLE);
   ttt.setEditable(false);
   vfmfields.add(ttt);

   }  
}

If I comment the "if (result.trim().length() > 0)" statement checking the exception is no more there, but this will show on the screen some fields(ActiveAutoTextEditField/ AutoTextEditField) that are not intended to show (since they may not contain any values-- empty fields on screen is inappropriate).

and this exception causes only on device 8800, on other devices it's not creating any exception if you not comment the
"if (result.trim().length() > 0)" statement checking

Please tell me If you have any idea to resolve ?

Thanks
Anand

What is the class of "result"? Is it a UI Object?

[Ananthasivan V K]

No, it is of type "String"

[bemshaswing]

Seeing as what you've pasted there actually does no layout itself, I'd guess that you're getting a misleading exception. It is possible that this method would throw a null pointer exception on a null String when applying trim (or length for that matter). It's possible that the calling method may be trying to layout a null object because the exception has gone uncaught. This is only a guess given your context here though.
