this is a really simple code in which text on a button is copied to a TextField. The code works fine but the TextField is not updating instantly on clicking the button. It updates only after i click on the TextField or when i drag the form not on pressing the button instantly. why is this happening,this behavior is unexpected. i am testing this code on a nokia 501 emulator which supports LWUIT.
a = new Form("CALCULATOR")
final TextArea data = new TextArea();
final Button ab = new Button("Some Value");
ab.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
data.setText(ab.getText());
}
});
a.addComponent(ab);
a.addComponent(data);
a.show();
}
After setting the text in the textfield repaint it. This may work
data.setText(ab.getText());
data.validate(); or data.repaint();
