Events in commandAction(command, item) in MIDlet

[Sasquatch192]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with a Java MIDlet which I am editing in Netbeans 6.9.1.

The commandAction(command,item) is a Netbeans auto-generated method.
With the code below, if the strDeleteData text is clicked during runtime then it displays an alert with two options - Yes and No. This works fine, but I'm stuck on the next part.

The event triggered when either the Yes and No buttons are clicked is getting lost at the top of the commandAction(..,..) method. When either the Yes and No button is clicked, the event is triggered, but when it hits the commandAction method, it doesn't match strDeleteData or any of the other action commands, so the code for this will not be executed.

I'm stuck on this issue, and as Netbeans is being a pain with guarded line blocks it's making it rather tough.
So if you could please take a look and let me know if you have any ideas how I can proceed with this, that would be just super!

public void commandAction(Command command, Item item) {
        // write pre-action user code here
        if (item == strDeleteData) {
            if (command == itemCommand) {
                // write pre-action user code here

                Alert deleteAlert1 = new Alert("Warning", "Are you sure you want to delete all saved data?", null, AlertType.WARNING);
                Command deleteAllYes = new Command("Yes", Command.OK, 1);
                Command deleteAllNo = new Command("No", Command.CANCEL, 1);
                deleteAlert1.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
                deleteAlert1.addCommand(deleteAllYes);
                deleteAlert1.addCommand(deleteAllNo);
                deleteAlert1.setCommandListener(this);

                getDisplay().setCurrent(deleteAlert1);

                if(command == deleteAllYes){
                    //code goes here for when Yes is pressed
                    //......
                }
                else if(command == deleteAllNo){
                //code goes here for when No is pressed
                //...
                }
 
                // write post-action user code here
            }
        } else if (item == strSaveNewSubject) {
            //code below for another Command event
        }
}//end commandAction method

Hi again,

As I was still unable to solve this issue (and I'm guessing those who also read this weren't able to assist), I went with an alternative solution that reaches the same outcome.
Instead of having an alert displaying yes/no to confirm delete; I created a new screen which contained a bigger image, more info explaining the delete process etc and with yes/no buttons. Worked a treat.

Cheers

[Edit]
I forgot to mention, that as this issue is still not solved and the problem could reporoduce again for others; if you can please assist that would be great.

Thanks

Just write your own code until you have enough time to delve into the mysteries of NetBeans visual tools. They're really not targeted at beginners.
