Aligning buttons on a screen

I would like to layout two buttons side by side and have multiple rows of these buttons like so - 

B1 B2
B1 B2
B1 B2

For this do I need to combine VerticalFieldManager and HorizontalFieldManager somehow ?

Thanks

Here is a TableLayoutManager class to support such type of layouts. TableLayoutManager.java You can download and copy it in your porject and use it. Use TableLayoutManager like this.

TableLayoutManager btnManager= new TableLayoutManager(new int[ {TableLayoutManager.USE_PREFERRED_SIZE, TableLayoutManager.USE_PREFERRED_SIZE},Manager.FIELD_HCENTER);
btnManager.add(B1);
btnManager.add(B2);
btnManager.add(B1);
btnManager.add(B2);

you can even define your number of columns and there layout styles.

If you're using JDK 5.0 or greater, there's GridFieldManager. If you're using anything below 5.0, you'll have to use nested Vertical/Horizontal field managers.
