Tabs changing when component touched

[mswhi...@gmail.com]

I have a set of tabs that each display a list, each list item has a button on the right hand side that when pressed loads a detail form.

When I touch the button the tab container seems to get the notification and the selected tab changes rather than the detail form being loaded.

This is NOT a problem in the simulator but I am now testing on my Pedo Pad - Android 4.4.2.

I originally had the list set to a command list but that had the same problem.

looks like the event is being sent to the tabs component as well as the button even though I consume the event in the button ActionListener.

Is it possible you swipe the tab on the device?
Did you try disabling tab swipe?

Hi,

I found the issue and not sure why it was causing the problem.

I have a list components in some of the tabs and they are set up as "Command Lists" so when a cell is touched a new form is displayed.

Before the form is displayed I call a web service to retrieve the data had the call wrapped in an InfiniteProgress() dialog.

If I remove this dialog the new form is displayed with no problem - but if I leave it then I have a problem.

No idea why this is a problem and how to display the in-progress dialog while the data loads.

Hi,
how is the call wrapped?
Sometimes wrapping things like this in a callSerially to flush the current EDT event cycle completely helps with such issues.

I had the following code (which I also use in another instance where all is fine):

 

 InfiniteProgress ip = new InfiniteProgress();

 dlg = ip.showInifiniteBlocking();

  

 // Call web service

 ConnectionRequest req = new ConnectionRequest(){

  @Override

  protected void readResponse(InputStream input) throws IOException

  {

   ...

  }

   

  @Override

  protected void postResponse()

  {

   ...

  }

 };

 ...

 NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(req);

If I remove the "InProgress" dialog then all works fine.

 dlg.dispose();

Try wrapping this whole block (including the dialog) in a:

Display.getInstance().callSerially(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
       // all of your network code and progress dialog goes here
    }
});

This might workaround the issue by letting the EDT complete the event cycle.
