Help with multiscreen design!

[Guest sledgeweb]

I'm working on my first homescreen for smartphone 2002. I've got a multi screen setup, where the first screen displays appointments, second screen programs, third screen profile, and fourth screen messages.

Now, at the top of each screen, I want to display the carrier, time, and date. This works fine on the first screen, or when I scroll down to the second, third, and fourth screens. But, when I scroll back up, it jumps to the first "active" data on the page. So it doesn't display the whole page with the time and date and carrier, but puts the appointments (or whatever) at the very top. This also means my icon bar, which is at the bottom, is now displaced. If you hit scroll up again, it will jump all the way to the top and display the page properly.

It works fine if you always have your active information at the top of the page, but I'd really like to have the date, time and carrier at the top of each page.

How can I accomplish this? I tried putting the active plugin first and moving its position down and then putting the time, date and carrier plugin after it, but moving its position up... however, when you move the data outside the plugin space, it dissapears. Surely there is a way to do this??

Help!

The full screen height is 220 - that includes 20 pixels for th esoftkeys which remain static. So you full screen images are 200 height (right?). I got around this problem by setting each full screen plugin to 180 height, & adding the iconbar at the top of every new page (ie. thru your xml each 200 pixels contains 1st iconbar plugin at 20 height, & then your choice of plugin at 180 height). Just repeat this process for each new multi-screen you want.

That should work - it might look a bit messy when you read the code, but it should achieve the result you want! :wink:
