There is a nice GridFieldManager by Anthony Rizk.
Code:
public void list()
{
if (null != mGrid && null != mGrid.getManager())
mGrid.getManager().delete(mGrid);
int colWidth = net.rim.device.api.system.Display.getWidth() / 4;
mGrid = new GridFieldManager(new int[] { 0, colWidth, colWidth,
colWidth, colWidth }, VERTICAL_SCROLL | VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR);
mGrid.add(new NullField(FOCUSABLE));
mGrid.add(new LabelField("Name"));
mGrid.add(new LabelField("E-Mail"));
mGrid.add(new LabelField("Gender"));
mGrid.add(new LabelField("Active"));
add(mGrid);
_data = (Vector) store.getContents();
try {
int sn = 0;
for (int i = _data.size() - 1; i > -1; i--, sn++) {
StoreInfo info = (StoreInfo) _data.elementAt(i);
// checking for empty object
if (!_data.isEmpty()) {
// if not empty
// create a new object of Store Info class
// storing information retrieved in strings
firstUserName = (info.getElement(StoreInfo.NAME));
lastUserName = (info.getElement(StoreInfo.LastNAME));
userEmail = (info.getElement(StoreInfo.EMail));
userGender = (info.getElement(StoreInfo.GenDer));
userStatus = (info.getElement(StoreInfo.setStatus));
// calling the listAll method
mGrid.add(new NullField(FOCUSABLE));
mGrid.add(new LabelField(firstUserName + " "
+ lastUserName));
mGrid.add(new LabelField(userEmail));
mGrid.add(new LabelField(userGender));
mGrid.add(new LabelField(userStatus));
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
