ClassCastException upon keypress to start editing TextArea

[timo.v...@gmail.com]

I have a Form with a TextArea (and 3 Buttons).

When I show the Form in the Emulator and press any key, the following exception is raised:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.codename1.ui.TextArea cannot be cast to com.codename1.ui.TextField

I have no means to verify if the same exception is raised on a device with a physical keyboard, so please confirm this cannot occur on a device.

Are your project client libs up to date? The current SVN seems to map this to a line that doesn't say much to me and I can't reproduce the issue.

I am puzzled by the client library update process, as I used to frequently run the "Refresh Libs" menu item in Eclipse without effect. But if I sent a build to the server a few seconds later, I got a fresh set of libraries anyway.

So I have sent another build just now, without receiving a new set of libraries.

The exception is still there, and refers to these same linenumbers.

Is there a way to pinpoint which client libraries I am using? (Or is there another trigger to get the latest libraries?)

Refresh libs is for cn1lib's. Yes its confusing, we suck at UX.
You need to go to project preferences and click the "Update client libs" button.

I found the relevant line and I think I fixed this. Thanks.
