Is there a restriction about where to use repaint() ?

Is there a restriction about where to use repaint()

I mean, should it be called only from inside Keypressed method
or I can use it from a method of my own?

I have a midlet in which repaint() seems to work only inside Keypressed method.
But I'm trying to control all the program flow from a method called Main.

Thanks for any help...

repaint() method has to be called by using the corresponding JPanel/which ever class which provides that method. or from within the class which overrides the class having repaint() method.

I dont know how it behaves in a Canvas. May be this is related to Java ME?

It is, so I'll move it to our Java ME forum.

In Swing / AWT, there are only two restrictions on calling repaint():
1) do it from the Event Dispatcher Thread.
2) make sure you don't get into an infinite repaint loop (e.g. by calling repaint while you're already painting).
