Does anyone know how to set the background colour of just a section of text within a RichTextField on the Blackberry?
I already use the offsets, attributes and fonts arrays to make changes to the appearance of certain sections of the text, but I would like to add a highlight colour to the background of one section too.
I know there is a protected method called getBackgroundColors that returns an array of colors to be used, which I can overwrite. But I have tried this and that method never seems to get called in my code, I don't actually know how and when the underlying implementation of the RichTextField actually use this method. Any ideas?

You can extend the RichtextField and then in the paint method, you can paint the background and then call super.paint()
