Sample of using the TextField/TextArea API in Codename One to accept user input

TextFieldSample.java

TableLayout tl;
int spanButton = 2;
if(Display.getInstance().isTablet()) {
    tl = new TableLayout(7, 2);
} else {
    tl = new TableLayout(14, 1);
    spanButton = 1;
}
tl.setGrowHorizontally(true);
hi.setLayout(tl);

TextField firstName = new TextField("", "First Name", 20, TextArea.ANY);
TextField surname = new TextField("", "Surname", 20, TextArea.ANY);
TextField email = new TextField("", "E-Mail", 20, TextArea.EMAILADDR);
TextField url = new TextField("", "URL", 20, TextArea.URL);
TextField phone = new TextField("", "Phone", 20, TextArea.PHONENUMBER);

TextField num1 = new TextField("", "1234", 4, TextArea.NUMERIC);
TextField num2 = new TextField("", "1234", 4, TextArea.NUMERIC);
TextField num3 = new TextField("", "1234", 4, TextArea.NUMERIC);
TextField num4 = new TextField("", "1234", 4, TextArea.NUMERIC);

Button submit = new Button("Submit");
TableLayout.Constraint cn = tl.createConstraint();
cn.setHorizontalSpan(spanButton);
cn.setHorizontalAlign(Component.RIGHT);
hi.add("First Name").add(firstName).
        add("Surname").add(surname).
        add("E-Mail").add(email).
        add("URL").add(url).
        add("Phone").add(phone).
        add("Credit Card").
                add(GridLayout.encloseIn(4, num1, num2, num3, num4)).
        add(cn, submit);

Notice that all usage of TextField in this code can be replaced with TextArea.
