Answer 2

you can use ToolbarManager to implement toolbar in blackberry,i can give u a little Example:

Bitmap _bit = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("abc.png");
Image _bitI = ImageFactory.createImage(_bit);
ToolbarManager _tool = new ToolbarManager();
ToolbarButtonField _next = new ToolbarButtonField(_bitI,new StringProvider("Next"));
_tool.add(_next);
this.add(_tool)

_next.setCommand(new Command(new CommandHandler(){

  public void execute(ReadOnlyCommandMetadata metadata, Object context){
   \\Do what you want on click of this ToolbarButtonField
}
}));

you can create as many ToolbarButtonFields as u want , just what u need to do is add those ToolbarButtonFields to ToolbarManager.
