Class ScreenInfo

java.lang.Object
  de.enough.polish.ui.ScreenInfo

public class ScreenInfo
extends java.lang.Object

Can be used for displaying information on each screen. This needs to be enabled specifically by setting the "polish.ScreenInfo.enable" preprocessing variable to "true":

        <variable name="polish.ScreenInfo.enable" value="true" />
 

If you want to display text you can use the "screeninfo" style for designing this element. Alternatively you can use the setImage( Image, Style ) or setText( String, Style ) methods for changing the style during runtime like this:

 if (this.isOnline) {
    //#style online
    ScreenInfo.setText("on");
 } else {
    //#style offline
    ScreenInfo.setText("off");
 }

public static void setItem(javax.microedition.lcdui.Item newItem)

Sets the item that is painted on the screen. Warning: read doc! You can replace the standard item (it's an IconItem) with this method, you can even set your own custom item. You need to rememember that afterexchanging the item with a non IconItem, you cannot call setText and setImage anymore. (This is a dummy signature that is not used, since it accepts the javax.microedition.lcdui classses, the J2ME Polish build process will automatically convert this call to the correct one).

newItem - the item that is painted on the screen
