class EmailAddressEditFieldDemoScreen extends MainScreen { public EmailAddressEditFieldDemoScreen() { setTitle("Email Address Field Demo"); EmailAddressEditField enterEmail = new EmailAddressEditField("Email address: ", ""); add(enterEmail); } }

Search field
Use a search field to allow BlackBerry device users to filter a list of words that match the characters that they type in the field. Users can select one of the presented matches or continue typing to further restrict the available choices. When you create a search field, you must specify a source list. The source list supplies the strings to compare against, which can be hard-coded or derived from data sources on a BlackBerry device, such as contacts, memos, and tasks. Class Supported since Example KeywordFilterField BlackBerry Java SDK 4.5

For more information about search fields, see the UI Guidelines.

Autocomplete text field

Use an autocomplete text field to allow BlackBerry device users to select from a changing list of words that match the characters that they type in the field. Users can select one of the presented matches or continue typing to further restrict the available choices. When you create an autocomplete text field, you must associate it with a BasicFilteredList object. The BasicFilteredList supplies the strings to compare against, which can be hard-coded or derived from data sources on a BlackBerry device, such as contacts, memos, and tasks. Classes Supported since Example AutoCompleteField, BasicFilteredList BlackBerry Java SDK 5.0

For more information about autocomplete text fields, see the UI & Navigation Development Guide.

AutoText edit field

Use an AutoText edit field to automatically correct text that a BlackBerry device user types in the field. The text is corrected based on the AutoText definition list, which lists common typographic errors and corrections. The text is corrected when the user presses the Space key. Class Supported since AutoTextEditField BlackBerry Java SDK 4.0

Quick Reference Guide

Active AutoText edit field

Active AutoText edit field

Use an active AutoText edit field to check for patterns in text that a BlackBerry device user types in the field. When a pattern is found, the text becomes active and the user can click on the active text to access special menu items. For example, email addresses and phone numbers are two of the patterns that are recognized by default. In addition, when the user presses the Space key, text is corrected based on the AutoText definition list, which lists common typographic errors and corrections. Classes Supported since Example ActiveAutoTextEditField BlackBerry Java SDK 5.0

For more information about active autocomplete text fields, see the UI Guidelines.
