I've been doing java for a couple years now and I can play nice with Swing. In Swing, when you want to handle a button event, you create your button, add it to the container, set the event handler to "this", and create the method to handle it...but in RIM's ButtonField APIs it looks a little more complicated.

Can anybody post some source code to handle a button click event? I'm really dedicated to learning this stuff, but thus far I haven't been able to find much to look at in the way of source code. It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick

Go look up the FieldChangedListener API.

There's an example in the documents: BlackBerry JDE 4.7.0 API Reference: Class ButtonField (the API links to RIM's site seem broken?)

Thank you; I will look at that. Yeah, the API links are a little hard to find...I'm still looking

ButtonField btnScan = new ButtonField("Scan", ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK | ButtonField.NEVER_DIRTY | Field.FIELD_HCENTER | Field.FIELD_VCENTER);

btnScan.setChangeListener(new FieldChangeListener()
{
public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context)
{
//runstuffhere
}
});

add(btnScan);

here and example for my button scan on qrthis scanner
