J2ME UI on Samsung Bada platform

When a J2ME application runs on Samsung phone with Samsung Bada an OS that supports TouchWhiz (GT-S5320, in my case),a virtual keypad is shown on the screen by default and always! This virtual keypad consists of the following keys - LEFT,RIGHT,UP,DOWN,FIRE and SOFT1, SOFT2.

Is there anyway I can control when this keypad is displayed and when it isn't. I understand that this would be a platf开发者_如何学Corm specific solution. But does it exist? Thanks, -- Kiran Kuppa

EDIT: I must also note that Google Maps, ( seems to be a J2ME app) does not show this keypad. I am sure there must be a way to supress it.

EDIT2: Thanks for the correction. I am attaching a picture to illustrate.

You should be able to use:

MIDlet-Touch-Support: True

in the jad/manifest to remove the on-screen pad.

Just for more information, if your handset supports rotation with an accelerometer this too can be controlled with a jad parameter:

MIDlet-ScreenMode: Rotate //to allow rotation MIDlet-ScreenMode: Portrait //to force to portrait MIDlet-ScreenMode: Landscape //to force to landscape

Good Luck!

The virtual keyboard appears for j2me application if it not uses TouchUI functionality

on bada 1.2 (not on bada 1.0 and not on bada 2.0, grr) there was an option in the "games and more" (=java) menu, where you could manually enable or disable the 1) keypad and 2) the way the app is shown, stretched to display (but 240x320) or not-stretched(and full 480x800).
