Question Regarding EditFields and VirtualKeyboards

Question

I have posted a StackOverflow question about the behaviour of the VirtualKeyboard on the Torch simulator. As a follow up question, where does an EditField get it's reference to the Virtual Keyboard on touch devices?

I am trying to display a Real Numeric keyboard (the proper style bit is set on the EditField), yet the keyboard that is displayed (on the Torch simulator when the slider is closed) is a "qwerty" keyboard.

You can add NullField before the EditField. NullField is the invisible Field with FOCUSABLE property.

For the follow up question - through the Screen, for example:

    // hide the virtual keyboard by default
    final Screen screen = getScreen();
    if (screen != null) {
        final VirtualKeyboard virtualKeyboard = screen.getVirtualKeyboard();
        if (virtualKeyboard != null) {
            virtualKeyboard.setVisibility(VirtualKeyboard.HIDE);
        }
    }

Tried that, and it was still shoeing the wrong virtual keyboard. – Mike D Jun 28 '11 at 15:56

Fixed. The answer can be found on my StackOverflow question "Blackberry Torch Simulator and EditField Problem". The trick as to subclass directly from Manager.

The issue was the GridFieldManager, which I had subclassed. I am still not sure how that caused the behaviour I described above. If anyone has any idea please enlighten me.
