Q: I am noticing that when I add a field to a manager,
sublayout for all current fields is called. How do I avoid this?
A: The best way to avoid having the layout(int, int) method of a field called multiple times when adding it to a manager is to add all fields to managers in the screen's constructor. If you need to add fields to managers outside the screen's constructor you can call the screen's invalidateLayout() method. This will invalidate the layout of all managers and fields associated with the screen and will cause them all to be called again, but only once.
Q: How can I intercept key events in my background application? I want to know what the user is typing in the foreground application.
A: This would not be possible. Your application can only receive key or trackball or trackwheel events when it is in the foreground.
