sidebar menu and mediaplayer layout issue

[josh...@filmexchangenetwork.com]

Hello,

I'm new to CN1 and this forum.   I just implemented the "hamburger" menu and its working well.  However I have a problem that I haven't seen posted here. 

I have a form containing a MediaPlayer.   I set the Form layout to BorderLayout and the MediaPlayer to BorderLayout.CENTER.

When I first show the form, the MediaPlayer shows up fine visually.   As soon as I open the side menu, it messes up the layout and the MediaPlayer disappears.   Doesn't matter what I do at that point, the Media Player will not display until I go back to the beginning and show the form again. 

When the media player is no longer visible, I can still hear the audio.

I think the menu is disrupting the Border Layout in some way. Is there any way to avoid this?   Perhaps make the menu overlap (which I tried and could not sort out). 

NetBeans & Simulator (targeting iOS and Android)

Thanks,

Josh

Hi,
just to be clear... This is not just happening on an iOS device but on Android and the simulator too?

Shai,

Thanks for your help via email.  I punted on the facebook style menu because it caused unmanageable behavior by the peer MediaPlayer object.

I've got it working now by create a top level Container of type TableLayout.   I create nested containers at 80% width for the media, and 20% width for the menu.  Working great now!
