Choosing mobile for J2ME

Hello !
I am new in J2ME programming so i am interested in what mobile phone is the best for programming for J2ME and what OS should it have to be easy programming, i know that Java is platform independent,so what mobile is best for programming on J2ME so what mobile you suggest me?

First of all, it will depend on what physical features you need (filesystem, bluetooth, camera, GPS, etc) which depends on what you wish to develop.
Then you should look at what models implement those features. J2MEPolish' page can be of good help here:
[http://devices.j2mepolish.org/interactivedb/searchdevices.faces]
Finally, each vendor has it's special quirks. For instance, with SonyEricsson and Nokia, you will get tons of security messages whenever you do anything but the most trivial, unless your midlet is signed. Samsung's UltraTouch models give poor error descriptions when your program has faults, implements fewer of the optional APIs than what the device in theory could support, and have small bugs that can be very annoying depending on your needs. (For example you can't use the GPS through the Location API unless you have GSM coverage, which makes the device useless here...). Other devices will probably have their own funny points, but on paper, I think Blackberry looks very promising.

Adobe reader for j2me needed!

I need a PDF reader for j2me (java mobile phones).
There is MobilePDF from zesium but it doesn't work for complex PDF's.
I vote for a j2me version original from Adobe.

Let me try this again ...
The Adobe download is an msi installer which sends you to a web site to get the rest
of the ~40MB file. If you don't have Internet access you cannot download the file.
The computer I want to install it on has no Internet access, therefore I need the app
in a form I can install by itself.
Don't ask why the computer has no Internet access.

Are Palm OS or Pocket PC viable markets for J2ME?

Hi,
On the current issue of JDJ, there is an article called "J2ME: Has it time finally arrived?" where the author talks about how J2ME is becoming more mature on the cellphone market. But then the author says:
Again, we're talking mobile phones here -- PDAs running Palm OS or Pocket PC just aren't a viable market for J2ME development as of yet, because they have alternative programming tools and languages and generally more open platforms.
Is this true? Judging from personal experience, plus threads in this forum like Open letter to SUN to produce a JRE for Pocket PC, there seems to be some truth to this claim.
I would like to hear other developer's opinions on this. Has your company abandoned Java development on Windows CE (or Pocket PC) and moved to .NET Compact Framework instead? Or is your company perfectly comfortable with using Java under those environments, except for a few hiccups? Why or why not?
Thanks,
Nicolas Rivera

Hi Nicolas,
Is this true? Judging from personal experience, plus
threads in this forum like Open letter to SUN to
produce a JRE for Pocket PC, there seems to be
some truth to this claim.Unfortunately there not exists a supported free JVM for Pocket PC 2003
devices, there exists some commercial implementations but I haven't found a truly RAD tool to develop java apps for this platform.
I've suffered with pain the old embedded Visual Basic and Visual C environments from Microsoft for mobile devices and I'm suffering the Compact Framework. They've created an acceptable tool like Visual Studio but it's not much better than alternatives with Java.
I can't believe Sun would have surrender to Microsoft in this apps market but I think they've done it.

I've heard of some companies developing Java apps in a PC environment and then deploy them in PocketPC by using only the right subset of classes.
Hope this helps.

Missing libraries for j2me?

Hi!
I have source code for Jess (java expert system) written in J2SE that I am trying to compile for J2ME. Of course, I keep getting compilation errors, since J2ME does not have e.g. java.util.Iterator or java.io.Serializable. What can I do (if anything?!) to solve this problem? Jess folks do not have a mobile device version. Are there additional libraries for J2ME I could download and happily compile my code? Thank you, I am really stuck with this!
-Buso

Hi Buso,
I am not sure if its a good solution, but you can try it as follows :
Use the source code that comes with Java SDK (src.zip in sdk ), extract the classes (and their dependant classes) to a different folder, compile them and make your own jar file. Keep this Jar file in in WTK's Lib folder.
I suppose this should work.

Unable to load ADF Mobile for Android deployment profile.

Hello,
I'm trying to implement a simple application on an android platform using this:
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/MobileTutorial/jdtut_11r2_54_2.html]
I already downloaded the updates needed as extensions and started the emulator using the SDK Manager.exe. However, i'm not able to create a deployment profile of type: "ADF Mobile for android". I only find type "ADF Mobile Feature Archive" which doesn't work for me because when i try deploying it, i don't find the "deploy application to emulator" option. Any thoughts?
Regards,
Mohamed

Hi.
To deploy to the emulator or to a device, you must create a deployment profile on your application, not on the ViewController or ApplicationController projects.
Best Regards,
Frédéric.

Connect Mobile for RIM Blackberry Playbook hangs while trying to connect to server

We have Adobe Connect 8 (Multilanguage - Portuguese) installed on a server. Connect Mobile for RIM Blackberry Playbook hangs while trying to connect to the server. Hayward Drummond has posted a notice about Adobe Connect 8.1.2 that seems to solve this problem, known as BUG 2886745. I sucessfuly downloaded this update but I´m not sure if it is compatible with Adobe Connect 8 Multilanguage - Portuguese. Does anyone know something about it? I also need to first install version 8.1.1 in order to upgrade to 8.1.2, as remarked by Hayward. Does anyone know where can I download version 8.1.1 (Multlanguage - Portuguese)?

You can't use this mobile for Nokia Music Unlimite...

I have just purchased a Nokia 5130 XpressMusic mobile phone which came with music. I have previously had a similar phone which came with music which for the last year I have been using. That unlimited downloads has now expired.
So I have plugged in my new phone, which I have not used to purcahse any music with through my old unlimited downloads, and it is saying:
You can't use this mobile for Nokia Music Unlimited edition mobile.
Can someone please tell me why not? The phone is capable of playing music (it is an XpressMusic mobile). I have specifically gone and purchased this phone for the unlimited downloads and will not be very happy if I am unable to activate it.
Many thanks,
Tania

Hi Tania,
Like @petrib mentioned you should be able find local Nokia Care details behind that Contact us -link up right in this page (or if you tell which country you are in I can check the details for you).
You could also update to latest Nokia Music Player which has just become available e.g. here http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/nokia-music-support and see if activation would work with that.

There is no "flash player similar to Adobe Flash Player". Flash is a proprietary Adobe product. There is currently no version of Flash for iOS.

When can we call mobiles for free

Hi There,
During the terminate the rate campaign, BT said they wanted to release an all you can eat plan to avoid bill shock.
BT have reduced call charges to mobiles - thanks. However, I would like a plan that allowed a pool of minutes (all you can eat can get abused) that I can use on mobile calls.
At the moment and I'm sure others do this, use landline for 01,02,03 0845 0870 and other numbers that are not included within my mobiles free minutes then use the mobile to call mobiles. I hate that. I would probably reduce my monthly mobile cost if i could use the LL more. I do prefer using it, coffee, corded phone like old days - lol i'm only 27 but hey, i've always liked phones.
I know talktalk give 500 minutes per month to mobiles for an additional £5 a month. I think that's fair. If BT said, UK calls for £4.90, UK calls + 500 minutes to mobiles for £9.90, I'd take that today.
This would also get people using their LL more. Some people only have the LL for Broadband and this would give them an incentive to use the LL again.
Anyway, termination rates are coming down again this year and I hope BT answers my wish.
Regards,
Martyn

Hi, all,
I noticed where Sprint just released OS 6 for their Bold 9650 devices. They released 6.0.0.415 today. Hopefully soon, we will see an OS 6 release for Verizon Bold devices.
