javax.microedition.lcdui.Alert
An alert is a screen that shows data to the user and waits for a certain period of time before proceeding to the next Displayable. An alert can contain a text string and an image. The intended use of Alert is to inform the user about errors and other exceptional conditions.
The application can set the alert time to be infinity with setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER) in which case the Alert is considered to be modal and the implementation provide a feature that allows the user to "dismiss" the alert, whereupon the next Displayable is displayed as if the timeout had expired immediately.

If an application specifies an alert to be of a timed variety and gives it too much content such that it must scroll, then it automatically becomes a modal alert.

An alert may have an AlertType associated with it to provide an indication of the nature of the alert. The implementation may use this type to play an appropriate sound when the Alert is presented to the user. See {@link AlertType#playSound(javax.microedition.lcdui.Display) AlertType.playSound()}.

An alert may contain an optional Image. The Image may be mutable or immutable. If the Image is mutable, the effect is as if a snapshot of its contents is taken at the time the Alert is constructed with this Image and when setImage is called with an Image. This snapshot is used whenever the contents of the Alert are to be displayed. Even if the application subsequently draws into the Image, the snapshot is not modified until the next call to setImage. The snapshot is not updated when the Alert becomes current or becomes visible on the display. (This is because the application does not have control over exactly when Displayables appear and disappear from the display.)

Activity Indicators

An alert may contain an optional {@link Gauge} object that is used as an activity or progress indicator. By default, an Alert has no activity indicator; one may be set with the {@link #setIndicator} method.The Gauge object used for the activity indicator must conform to all of the following restrictions:
- it must be non-interactive;
- it must not be owned by another container (Alert or Form);
- it must not have any Commands;
- it must not have an ItemCommandListener;
- it must not have a label (that is, its label must be null;
- its preferred width and height must both be unlocked; and
- its layout value must be LAYOUT_DEFAULT.
It is an error for the application to attempt to use a Gauge object that violates any of these restrictions. In addition, when the Gauge object is being used as the indicator within an Alert, the application is prevented from modifying any of these pieces of the Gauge's state.

Commands and Listeners

Like the other Displayable classes, an Alert can accept Commands, which can be delivered to a CommandListener set by the application. The Alert class adds some special behavior for Commands and listeners.

When it is created, an Alert implicitly has the special Command {@link #DISMISS_COMMAND} present on it. If the application adds any other Commands to the Alert, DISMISS_COMMAND is implicitly removed. If the application removes all other Commands, DISMISS_COMMAND is implicitly restored. Attempts to add or remove DISMISS_COMMAND explicitly are ignored. Thus, there is always at least one Command present on an Alert.

If there are two or more Commands present on the Alert, it is automatically turned into a modal Alert, and the timeout value is always {@link #FOREVER}. The Alert remains on the display until a Command is invoked. If the Alert has one Command (whether it is DISMISS_COMMAND or it is one provided by the application), the Alert may have the timed behavior as described above. When a timeout occurs, the effect is the same as if the user had invoked the Command explicitly.

When it is created, an Alert implicitly has a CommandListener called the default listener associated with it. This listener may be replaced by an application-provided listener through use of the {@link #setCommandListener} method. If the application removes its listener bypassing null to the setCommandListener method, the default listener is implicitly restored.

The {@link Display#setCurrent(Alert,Displayable)} method and the {@link Display#setCurrent(Displayable)} method (when called with anAlert) define special behavior for automatically advancing to another Displayable after the Alert is dismissed. This special behavior occurs only when the default listener is present on the Alert at the time it is dismissed or when a command is invoked. If the user invokes a Command and the default listener is present, the default listener ignores the Command and implements the automatic-advance behavior.

If the application has set its own CommandListener, the automatic-advance behavior is disabled. The listener code is responsible for advancing to another Displayable. When the application has provided a listener, Commands are invoked normally by passing them to the listener's commandAction method. The Command passed will be one of the Commands present on the Alert: either DISMISS_COMMAND or one of the application-provided Commands.

The application can restore the default listener by passing null to the setCommandListener method.

Note: An application may set a {@link Ticker Ticker}with {@link Displayable#setTicker Displayable.setTicker} on anAlert, however it may not be displayed due to implementation restrictions.
