Open a new mainscreen within a mainscreen in blackberry

I'm making an application in which there are few tabs on each tab click a url is called and an 开发者_StackOverflow社区online xml is parsed. The data from this xml is displayed. The problem is that when the data is dispalyed the tabs disappear and only appear when i press the back button of the simulator. Whereas the data should appear below the tabs.

Please help

For your TabControl Class

public class TabControl extends UiApplication {

    public TabControl() {
        TabControlScreen screen = new TabControlScreen();
        pushScreen(screen);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TabControl app = new TabControl();
        app.enterEventDispatcher();
    }

    private class TabControlScreen extends MainScreen {

        private Bitmap backgroundBitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("rednavnar.png");

        private LabelField tab1;
        private LabelField tab2;
        private LabelField tab3;

        private VerticalFieldManager tabArea;

        public TabControlScreen() {

            LabelField appTitle = new LabelField("Energy", LabelField.ELLIPSIS | LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH | LabelField.FIELD_HCENTER);
            this.setTitle(appTitle);

            HorizontalFieldManager hManager = new HorizontalFieldManager( Manager.HORIZONTAL_SCROLL | Manager.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR | Manager.USE_ALL_WIDTH | Manager.TOPMOST) {

                // Override the paint method to draw the background image.
                public void paint(Graphics graphics) {
                    // Draw the background image and then call paint.
                    graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, 700, 100, backgroundBitmap, 0, 0);
                    super.paint(graphics);
                }
            };
            tab1 = new LabelField("Top News", LabelField.FOCUSABLE | LabelField.HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS){
                protected boolean navigationClick(int status,int time){
                    delete(tabArea);
                    tabArea = displayTab1();
                    add(tabArea);
                    return true;
                }
            };
            LabelField separator = new LabelField("|", LabelField.NON_FOCUSABLE);
            tab2 = new LabelField("Power", LabelField.FOCUSABLE | LabelField.HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS){
                protected boolean navigationClick(int status,int time){
                    delete(tabArea);
                    tabArea = displayTab2();
                    add(tabArea);
                    return true;
                }
            };
            LabelField separator1 = new LabelField("|", LabelField.NON_FOCUSABLE);
            tab3 = new LabelField("Renewable Energy", LabelField.FOCUSABLE | LabelField.HIGHLIGHT_FOCUS){
                protected boolean navigationClick(int status,int time){
                    delete(tabArea);
                    tabArea = displayTab3();
                    add(tabArea);
                    return true;
                }
            };

            hManager.add(tab1);
            hManager.add(separator);
            hManager.add(tab2);
            hManager.add(separator1);
            hManager.add(tab3);

            add(hManager);
            add(new SeparatorField());

            // USELESS CODE HAS BEEN REMOVED    

            tabArea = displayTab1();
            add(tabArea);

        }

        public VerticalFieldManager displayTab1() {
            return new News(); // RETURN THE MANAGER DIRECTLY
        }

        public VerticalFieldManager displayTab2() {
            return new Power(); // RETURN THE MANAGER DIRECTLY
        }

        public VerticalFieldManager displayTab3() {
            return new Energy(); // RETURN THE MANAGER DIRECTLY
        }
    }
 }

For your News class

public class News extends VerticalFieldManager { // CHANGING THE EXTENSION SUPER CLASS 
    public News() {
        super(VerticalFieldManager.VERTICAL_SCROLL|VerticalFieldManager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);

        String xmlUrl = "http://182.71.5.53:9090/solr/core4/select/?q=*";

        String[][] urlData = XmlFunctions.getURLFromXml(xmlUrl);
        for (int i = 0; i < urlData.length; i++) {
            final String title = urlData[0][i];
            final String id = urlData[1][i];
            //add(new LinkLabel(title, i));
            add(new RichTextField(title){
                protected boolean navigationClick(int status,int time){

                    String cId = id;
                    String bodyUrl = "http://192.168.1.44:9090/solr/core0/select/?q="+cId+";
                    String[][] bodyData = XmlFunctions.getBodyFromXml(bodyUrl);
                    for(int j=0;j<bodyData.length;j++){
                        String body = bodyData[0][j];
                        add(new RichTextField(body));
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            });
            add(new SeparatorField());
        }
    }
}

Yes, create a seprate mainscreen or screen objects and from your parent screen you can execute the below code to open new screen using the below code:

UIApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen(your custom screen object);

Thanks

You don't need to create 2 mainscreens in the scenario which you described.
Just create a VerticalFieldManager, add it to the mainscreen, then add content to it.

Here's a sample of code that can help you, apply it in your mainscreen constructor.

VerticalFieldManager VFM_Content = new VerticalFieldManager();
add(VFM_Content);
VFM_Content.add(/*put content here embedded in any field type you prefer*/);
