Commands under "menu'

Question

Hi
I add 4 commands to my canvas: Exit, Command1, Command2, Command3.
It shows on the cellular Menu, Command1 and Exit. Under Menu I have Command2 and Command3.
I want that only Menu and Exit will be on cellular screen and all Command1-3 will be under Menu. How can I do it?
Thanks.

Many(all?) Nokia phones will put your commands under 'Options' if you use generic Midp1.0 code, regardless of the priorities and types of the Command's.
The way around this is to use the Nokia specific libraries for full-screen and draw your own command labels. This way you can control exactly what is visible. What you do is include nokiaui.zip (find on nokia developer site somewhere) in your build path, and extend the FullCanvas class instead of using a normal Canvas. This will get you full-screen on even Midp1.0 Nokia devices.
The FullCanvas class has constants KEY_SOFTKEY1, and KEY_SOFTKEY2 that represent the Canvas.getGameAction(int keyCode) of the left and right soft-key's, so you can tell which corner key was pressed.
I hope this helps, I remember going through this problem when I released my first game a couple years back, and the distributor told me that the commands were stacking under 'Options' for nokia's.
