com.codename1.ui.Container

Packages that use Container

Package	Description
com.codename1.cloud	Provides cloud related services such as storage, binding widgets to the cloud seamlessly so they can be persisted easily.
com.codename1.components	Generic elaborate components that make use of both UI elements and storage.
com.codename1.maps	The mapping API allows developers to use maps in their applications, add layers on top of the map and to enhance the API with additional Layers, Providers and functionality.
com.codename1.properties	High level property objects that allow us to replace getters/setters in business objects with more convenient storage/parsing mappings while retaining type safety.
com.codename1.testing	This package contains everything necessary for unit tests, automation of tests and everything in between.
com.codename1.ui	Main widget package containing the component/container "composite" similar both in terminology and design to Swing/AWT.
com.codename1.ui.animations	All components are animatable by potential and additional animations (unrelated to a specific component) can be installed on the fly, transitions between forms are also handled as part of this package.
com.codename1.ui.html	This package is deprecated and used only for legacy support, use the WebBrowser component from the components package.
com.codename1.ui.layouts	Layout managers allow a Container to arrange its components by a set of rules that adapt to specific densities (ppi - pixels per inch).
com.codename1.ui.layouts.mig
com.codename1.ui.list	Lists are highly customizable and serve as the basis for ComboBox and other components (such as carousels etc) they employ a similar MVC approach to Swing including the renderer pattern, notice that we strongly discourage usage of lists... ListCellRenderer allows us to customize the appearance of a list entry, it works as a "rubber stamp" by drawing the rendered component and discarding its state thus allowing very large lists with very little component state overhead.
com.codename1.ui.scene	This package provides a light-weight scene graph for Codename One.
com.codename1.ui.spinner	Spinners allows picking of simple sequential values similarly to combo boxes but of a much wider value set.
com.codename1.ui.table	Table component for editing and viewing tabular data and arranging Codename One components in a tabular form
com.codename1.ui.tree	Tree component for displaying hierarchy based information and its related classes
com.codename1.ui.util	Utility features that are either too domain specific or don't "fit" into any other packages including the Resource file format loading API.

class	BrowserComponent The browser component is an interface to an embeddable native platform browser on platforms that support embedding the native browser in place, if you need wide compatibility and flexibility you should check out the HTMLComponent which provides a lightweight 100% cross platform web component. This component will only work on platforms that support embedding a native browser which exclude earlier versions of Blackberry devices and J2ME devices.
