Answer 1

You can force the fields to be displayed in the center by specifying FIELD_HCENTER when creating each field. Or by using FIELD_HCENTER when creating the manager. In the latter case, the manager will be center itself, but each fields in it will be left-adjusted. It is mostly the same end results, but under some conditions it may be displayed differently.

Answer 2

y don't u go ahead with the positioning of the contents at the center position

for eg:

when i want to place any field at the center of screen then i do (Display.getWidth()-field.getWidth())/2

u can try positioning like this,if it helps in your case!!!!
