Blackberry Creating Toolbar Part 2

This is part 2 of Creating Toolbar on Blackberry.

Read Part 1

Requirements :

- Blackberry OS 5

UPDATE 4-29-2012

After few styling and researching i managed to create background color. after i think its looking quite alright without color gradient or anything, its time to try on storm / BB 9550.

after that i found a problem when the Display is tilted into Landscape the layout width doesn't redraw / synchronize automatically. but solution found on http://www.stackoverflow.com.

here's the link if you want to know : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7789734/auto-rotation-on-blackberry-programming

anyway here is my code

    }
    
}


and here is the result


UPDATE 4-30-2012 :

After this few period of research i don't know if i can do the gradient color. anyway RIM Developer have already created advance UI to use. they already at git hub. so if you wanna grab it just use GIT Client.

i'm using HorizontalListStyleButtonSet from
https://github.com/blackberry/Samples-for-Java/tree/master/Advanced%20UI
don't forget to add few class that support HorizontalListStyleButtonSet
JustifiedEvenlySpacedHorizontalFieldManager.java
ListStyleButtonField.java

the result is like this



the code is

package mypackage.screen;

        exampleSet.add( new ListStyleButtonField( "Cart", DrawStyle.HCENTER ) );
        add( exampleSet );
    }
}



as you can see I'm still using the same code as before. so you'll notice the difference.


P.S I'll update this soon i got the solution and i hope with a cool layout.
