Bitmap font on J2ME/MIDP devices

Hi!
I want to develop an application that can display my own langue on a mobile phone. I have known that there is a posibility to use a bitmap font(new_font.png) but I dont know how we can do with that.
Does anyone know where can I find some documentation related to that? Or if you have some sample code that can solve my problem, that would be great.
There is not yet unicode for my langue so it would be hard for me to do it this project.
Best regards,

I found an API on the web but don't remember which one - it is not free, though - but it uses the low-level API of MIDP to create those buttons and boxes.

  • J2ME, MIDP,CLDC, ...

    Hi all,
    i'm new to this "micro Java tech" and i would like to have clear some general concepts ;-)
    right now i've got an application written in "waba" for running it in a Palm device, i just needed waba VM, waba classes and some applications for creating the prc files.
    Now i would like to "translate" and walk into the sun philosophy...
    i've been reading around and i've found KVM what is quite clear, and then J2ME, MIDP and CLDC... do i need all this for writting my java application and running it in a Palm device?
    Which is the minimal set for doing it?
    Which API is the correct one for what i want CLDC API or Java2ME API?
    my messy brains would thank any help....
    thanks,
    Laura.

    hi, if you want to develop and run your apps on Palm devices, I think what you need are J2ME Wireless ToolKit and MIDP for Palm from Sun Microsystems. These tools can help you.

  • Playback Video (format 3GPP) on j2me midp 2.0

    Hi all,
    By now all recent mobile phone should playback many video type included le format 3GP.
    But I can't playback any Video from J2me midp 2.0 API.
    Are there someone here who know a solution independent of device to playback video on j2me midp platform ?
    Thank you,
    Tien
    (www.tranthuong.com)

    Something like this:
    private void playFile( String filename ) {
      try
        InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);
        m_player = Manager.createPlayer(is, "video/3gpp");
        m_player.prefetch();
        m_player.start();
      catch (Exception ex)
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
    } Also in MIDP 2 check VolumeControl
    If your mobile support JSR-135:
    try {
         Player p = Manager.createPlayer("http://abc.mpg");
         p.realize();
         VideoControl vc;
         if ((vc = (VideoControl)p.getControl("VideoControl")) != null)
             add((Component)vc.initDisplayMode(vc.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null));
         p.start();
    } catch (MediaException pe) {
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
    }In this case you also can
    InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename);
    Player p = Manager.createPlayer(is, "video/3gpp");

  • J2ME/MIDP GUI development issues

    Hello,
    I'm newbie to J2ME/MIDP development .
    And I'm curoius about main GUI issues when developing games for mobile phones.
    Such as different screen sizes, sprites, etc.
    How ppl target for different screen sizes and resolution?
    Links for usefull reading is appriciated very much.
    Thank you.
    Alexei.

    There are two configuration
    1.CDC
    2.CLDC
    and Following profiles for the developers to choose from while developing the application for a wireless deveice
    for CLDC-
    1.MIDP
    2.PDAP
    for CDC-
    1.Foundation Profile
    2.Personal basis Profile
    3.Personal Profile
    Apart from these profiles (JAVA APIs) development can be done in
    1.c/c++
    2.net
    Now my questions or rather the issues that i always face or rather i always get confused over it
    1.How to know that a particular device supports which Configuration
    Check the device Specifications, Nokia supports maybe java, while motorola supports may be .NET
    2.After the configuration is known, which profile is to be used.
    Depends on what you want to develop, once you know that then you will read the profile spec. and then go for development, let say if you wanted to develop a simple game, it can be done in MIDP only, while if you need advanced multimedia, u need implementation of MMAPI also, on the other hand if you want to develop diary of contact managment software you will yous PIM.You should know the wanter in pool before taking of your clothes and going for a swim.
    3.For developing the application in c++, do different device category give different set of APIs for development.,plz explain.
    Most of the C++ api's are devices specific(after all that is when java wins)
    4.What about the development platform for PALM and POCKET PC devices.what profiles from the above listing do they use .
    they use the CDC configuration, and Personal Profile
    5.can development on POCKET PC be done only on compact .net framework???
    No, Commercial JVM are available, infact a free one is also available, search this forum you will find out.
    Hope this help

  • URxvt poor performance with Bitmap fonts

    I'm trying to use a bitmap font with URxvt terminal and I find the performance is terrible after. If i use an XFT font it works perfect. When I set a bitmap font I can see the screen redraw while scrolling through vim and if another terminal is outputting lots of data the other terminals will slow to a crawl. Also when the terminal gains focus I will see a flicker occur as it redraws the text.
    I tried using XTerm and it does not experience this problem at all. It only seems to be with URXvt that this problem occurs. I've tried several different bitmap fonts and it's the same for all of them. Again XFT works fine.
    Any ideas?

    I don't use testing, but have cairo-xcb installed from AUR, which is version 1.12.0-1. I just tried to replace it with the package in testing, but this did not have any effect. Downgrading cairo-xcb gives problems because of the libpng14 stuff. I will look for the source of a previous version and build it, to see if this is the problem.
    edit...
    You are right, the problem is cairo. I rebuild and installed cairo-xcb 1.10.2 and gvim was as quick as it used to be. When I upgrade it again it slows down.

    Your site was built using tables, whose sizes are defined in your site.
    If we look at your first table definition, we can see:
    <table width="861" height="1449" border="3" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#868787">
    Your table has a width of 861 pixels and an overall height of 1449 pixels. Anything you put into that overall box must fit those dimensions, else
    it won't be visible. Anything you add above it will push everything down. You can redefine your sizing to let you edit more inside of the table elements.
    This is why, when you type in more text, things act weird. If you are in Dreamweaver, you must find the right cell to put your text into and then enter
    text there. Unfortunately, this is going to push things around, which were all lined up using tables. And this gets everything offset with respect to
    everything else in your website.
    And that is why everyone is saying, "Start Over!"
    I just inherited a website that has been put together using tables. I'm going to have to expend considerable effort in rewriting the entire design of the
    website because of that. because everything I intend to add to the pages on the site is going to need to be deconstructed in order to get it to work
    properly if I'm adding text and pictures that need to line up with each other.
    You need something done quick and dirty and the only way I can recommend you do that is to use Dreamweaver to show you the tables you have
    and put what you need in a new table that is defined above or below the tables you all ready have defined. Do that and then get back to someone here
    who knows how to make a website correctly to clean up your entire website and make it editable -- which will cost you some money, but it will be
    money well-spent.
    I like to quote this maxim: Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick any two. This works for website design. You can get it fast and cheap, but it won't be good. I
    think you may have chosen that route.

  • Using Bitmap Fonts in MIDlet development

    Any and all help appreciated on this.
    I'm working on this assignment that requires use of bitmap fonts. We need 2 colors of fonts and 2 sizes. What's the best way to approach this?
    Any places that you recommend buying them from and have used in your projects? Wish to stay away from ones that have heavy-duty licensing issues (lack of bandwidth to look into all legal possibilities). Are there any free ones available?
    What are the other catches in this area?
    Thanks,
    Sasha

    Would GNU Screen be the answer to my question?

  • Illustrator can't use bitmap fonts?

    In the list of available fonts, Illustrator CS5 just doesn't show a particular bitmap font (maybe it's skipping some others too, but I didn't check). I'm sure the font works well, in fact it shows up and works normally in Photoshop, and I also use it for interface in some other software that allows customizing of interface - in a few years never had a problem. If it matters, it's a fon file.
    Digging around the internet I didn't see anybody complaining about it, the only thing I've found is an article for beginners that talks about using bitmap fonts as if it were perfectly possible.
    So, how can I use this font in my documents? Or will I have to design everything in Illustrator and then finish it in Photoshop.
    Edit: if it matters I'm on Windows 7 64bit.
    Message was edited by: RayRayTea

    That's true, but what made me think Illustrator should be able to read a puny bitmap font is (among other things) this piece - I wouldn't trust it too much ("Pixel fonts are quite popular these days. It all started in Flash…") but it actually has screenshots, so I assumed they must have materialized from somewhere (and what it says about positioning of the lines is true, so it probably knows what it's talking about).
    Edit: and I just noticed… the fonts I actually have as "Hidden" (in the Font control panel) show up in Illustrator all right - Comic Sans says hello (I should have uninstalled it instead of hiding it I guess). Heh…

  • Can't use bitmap font in GUI apps

    I like the look of bitmap fonts and I used to be able to use them in GUI apps such as GTK apps.
    For the last few months whenever I try to start GUI app with a bitmap font selected the application crashes. Always with the same error message about cairo-scaled-font.
    For example, here is my terminal output when I try to start dwb using the bitmap font Lemon as my default font:
    dwb: cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion '!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.
    This problem is not limited to just dwb but any GUI app when I try to use any bitmap font.
    I've tried googling the problem and the only advice I could find was to run fc-cache -fv, which didn't fix the issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I normally use BSPWM as my window manager, and I have just discovered that If I try to start dwb in Gnome it actually works!
    This isn't really a solution for me because I spend most of my time in BSPWM, but it's interesting.

  • Basic Documentation for J2ME MIDP?

    Hi,
    I am new to developing for J2ME/MIDP and have not been successful in finding any language documentation to help me further my knowledge.
    As a case in point, I have a sample app that I have been playing with, it is very simple and uses an object of type TextBox as follows...
      private TextBox t;
        t = new TextBox("Heya!",  "Welcome to MIDP development", 256, 0);Now I want to append some more text to this TextBox at from another method in the app, but I can't find any documentation on TextBox to show me how to do this.
    (I have tried "t.append(new StringItem(null, "More text"));" but it doesn't work).
    Where is the documentation for MIDP? Is there something similar to the J2SE documentation here -
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/index.html
    If there is, then that would be the answer to a lot of my questions!
    Also, I have difficulty understanding how MIDP and J2ME relate, what is their relationship? Is MIDP a part of J2ME? And how does CLDC relate to them both?
    Well, thanks very much for any help you can offer!
    Warm regards,
    - Peter

    The documentation is part of the SDK when you download it.
    If you downloaded the Wireless Toolkit or any other SDK, there should be a docs directory there with all the documentation (and if you don't have any SDK you can't do much development in any case).
    As for the TextBox issue you would need something like:
    t.setString(t.getString() + " some more text");And about those general J2ME questions, there's a good FAQ on this site.

    What I've read, there should be /usr/share/fonts/local/* too in that list.
    I run my window manager, dwm with startx and ~/.xinitrc has these lines before dwm:
    xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
    xset fp rehash
    I have also tried to include those with xorg.conf:
    $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Section "Files"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local/"
    EndSection
    I'm using Ubuntu's patched versions of freetype, fontconfig and cairo if that has anything to do with my problem:

    Xft fonts work fine with urxvt, but bitmaps don't. What am I missing?

    There isn't a "tamsynu" family in the tamsyn-font package.  You're trying to use a font that doesn't exist on your machine.
    $ xlsfonts -fn "-*-tamsynu-*"
    xlsfonts: pattern "-*-tamsynu-*" unmatched
    $ xlsfonts -fn "-*-tamsyn-*"
    -misc-tamsyn-bold-r-normal--0-0-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1
    -misc-tamsyn-bold-r-normal--12-87-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1
    << And more >>
    The syntax for the resource is fine, but it is case-sensitive.  The class is 'URxvt', an instance would be 'urxvt'.
    This should be good for a first attempt at the proper size:
    urxvt.font: -misc-tamsyn-medium-r-normal--14-101-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
    urxvt.boldFont: -misc-tamsyn-bold-r-normal--14-101-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
    That's about equal to DejaVu Sans Mono at 8 points.
    If you have rebuilt your font cache, either by restarting X or running 'fc-cache -f', and you want to use Xft, then this is equivalent (Tamsyn does not use anti-aliasing):
    urxvt.font: xft:Tamsyn:style=Regular:size=10.1
    urxvt.boldFont: xft:Tamsyn:style=Bold:size=10.1
