I'm running S60 with j2me using LWUIT in Eclipse.
I'm using this Tutorial Link.. for reference to draw list.
but as i printed the position of list element drawing but it called more than once (i think for 3-4 times) i don't understand why ?
And also responsiveness of list is also poor, takes lot of time to scroll down .
As i'e seen some video examples of LWUIT list they are working faster and smoother as my list can not why ??
My code to parse and add values to list from json received
public void setNotificationList(String response) {
if (!response.equals("") || response != null) {
try {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
if (jsonObject != null) {
if (jsonObject.getInt("total") > 0) {
totalNotificationPages = jsonObject
.getInt("total_pages");
JSONArray notificationJsonArray = jsonObject
.getJSONArray("notifications");
int lenghtOfList = notificationJsonArray.length();
if (!moreNotificationListFalg) {
notificationList = new List();
} else {
notificationVector.removeAllElements();
}
notificationVector = new Vector(lenghtOfList);
for (int i = 0; i < lenghtOfList; i++) {
JSONObject notificationJsonObjects = notificationJsonArray
.getJSONObject(i);
UpdatesUserData notificationData = new UpdatesUserData();
notificationData.user_id = JSONHelper
.getStringFromJSON(notificationJsonObjects,
"user_id");
notificationData._id = JSONHelper
.getStringFromJSON(notificationJsonObjects,
"id");
notificationData.message = JSONHelper
.getStringFromJSON(notificationJsonObjects,
"message");
notificationData.date = JSONHelper
.getStringFromJSON(notificationJsonObjects,
"created_at");

notificationData.distance = JSONHelper
.getStringFromParentJSON(
notificationJsonObjects, "user",
"distance");
if (notificationJsonObjects.has("user")) {
JSONObject jsonObjectParent = notificationJsonObjects
.getJSONObject("user");
notificationData.user_image = APIHelper
.getPictureUrl(
JSONHelper
.getStringFromParentJSON(

Please help me ...
Read Chen's post on the Codename One blog http://codenameone.blogspot.com/2008/07/lwuit-list-renderer-by-chen-fishbein.html
Generally a cell renderer will be called once for every visible item and when it is moved it will be called even more since there is an animation of the focus movement running in the background. S60 is really slow with translucent images, make sure that if you have 9-piece borders they don't contain images that are too small.
Compare performance to the LWUIT demo and see the difference.
