Show Text on kindle

Hi,

slowly I'm getting desperated. more than one week of trying anything and nothing helps. I want to make a kindlet with the following basic function:
- displaying text, as much as I want
- and maybe, *in case* I got that, maybe also get the functionality to turn pages in case the text is longer than one page

API: 2.0

basic layout:
anyobject = new AnyObject();
KPages pages = new KPages(createFullPageProvider());
[...].getRootContainer.add(pages);

Problems:
- if using a string: after two lines or exceeding one line, the string gets cut with "..."
- if using a JLabel: same as string
- Kindle seems to ignore any statements of vertical height or whatever
- kindle seems to ignore the size options made in a PageProvider, that can be given to KPages.

Can anybody tell me why, or any other experiences for these Problems? (this Part is actually the one, that really annoyes me)

My Solution: (now we're going to the part page turning
- JTextArea
- setEditable(false) and setEnabled(false) (both for no cursor-interruption)

displays all my text - as much as I want. But if it exceeds the page, I cannot view the rest of the text. I would have to calculate the amount of text fitting in the size of a display. But I don't see any functions for beeing able to calculate that (variable char size etc).

does anyone have any ideas?

greetings

I'm not on programming, but isn't it possible to set the JTextArea as 600x800 (any other than Kindle Paperwhite) or 758x1024 (Paperwhites)?

hey, thanks for the answer.
It gave the push into the right direction.

Seemed to be more likely a java-problem, than a kindle one.

To cut everything short, I ended up with:

kta = new JTextArea(testString);
KPages _page = new KPages(_myPageProvider);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(kta);

scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(20,702));

_page.addItem(scrollPane);
_context.getRootContainer().add(_page);

that produced a text area over the whole screen, thats scrollable.

greets
