Changes to the AddressBook GUI
The new AddressBook differs from the old one in that it now presents a menu to the user, allowing the user to select from two options:
-
LoadXML
-
LoadDB
This menu option is implemented through the creation of two Command objects using the Command.SCREEN type:
static final Command cmdXML = new Command("LoadXML",
Command.SCREEN, 1);
static final Command cmdDB = new Command("LoadDB",
Command.SCREEN, 1);
If either of these items is selected, the loadAddressDB(boolean fromXML) method is called. This method first clears the mnuMain menu and either loads addresses from a remote XML file or from the local database:
public void loadAddressDB(boolean fromXML) {
//First, clear the list
while (mnuMain.size() > 0) {
mnuMain.delete(0);
}
if (fromXML) {
dbAddress.loadXML();
}
int count = dbAddress.recordCount();
for (int i=0; i < count; i++) {
mnuMain.append(dbAddress.getName(i+1), null);
}
}
