J2ME on PDA?

Hi,
I have to make an application for a PDA. I already made something in VB.NET (in the Compact Framework). I also have to make the same application using J2ME.
Is this possible, or is J2ME mainly meant for Cell phones?

Use Personal Profile/CDC of J2ME instead of MIDP/CLDC. Sun has devided the wireless devices as 2 groups called MIDP/CLDC(mainly for mobile phones), Personal Profile/CDC for PDA and stuffs.
in PP/CDC you have lots of classes and functionality that can not be provided for a mobile phone .
I would recomend youto read this article before you start coding.

  • J2ME - GPS - PDA ???

    Hi,
    I want to write an Application for PDAs that needs access to GPS-Data.
    I'm completely new in this term and meanwhile I'm really confused.
    therefore I would be so glad, if anybody could answer my questions:
    - Palm, Pocket PC or ... whats the best PDA to work with Java, J2ME?
    - Access to GPS-Data, possible over a bluetooth adapted GPS Receiver or does it works better with an integrated GPS Receiver? And how can I recall the data ?
    - what are the potential problems that could appear and what are your experiences white this topics???
    PLEASE HELP ME or I get totally crazy !!!!
    thank you...

    OK, I'm just as confused as you and going equally crazy. I'm working on an HP iPAQ 6515 which has a built in GPS device visible on comm7, using the IBM j9 MIDP 2 implementation. I have to confess I haven't yet made anything work...
    But if you have questions I can help with please ask them I'm going to be working on this pretty solidly over the next few weeks, so it's possible i may learn something useful...

  • Javacard and j2me

    hi all,recently i want to plan a project that is about
    i want to make a connection between javacard and j2me(on pda)
    i.e. a j2me game can communicate with javacard..
    but i don't know has any existed solution ??
    at beginning i only want to make project in the simulation environment (pda simulatior<->javacard simulator) ,i hope u can give me any solution that can communicate between pda and javacard
    thx in advance!!

    AFAIK the j2me (the MIDP profile) does not support smartcard communication
    i.e. a j2me gsm phone cannot communicate with the sim card inside
    unless something has changed in this subject recently
    regards

  • Deploying j2me application in PDA

    I have developed an application in j2me(cldc).
    i want to deploy it into pda.. if any one have idea about it plz help me.
    its very urgent for my project.
    Thanks in advance.

    From what i understand of java support for PDA's i wouldn't bother trying because it doesn't seem to be worth the trouble
    try this link

  • How to install J2ME on Linux PDA

    Linux PDA is now avaiable in the market. but i wonder want to know how install J2ME install this type of PDA.

    convince sun to port their j2me application manager software to it, or write one yourself.
    don't hold your breath on option 1. sun hasn't even put together a decent working MIDP for palmOS yet (soon hopefully).

  • Realize a J2ME reporting thin client (for PDA) with XML for Analysis

    I'd create a reporting thin client (on PDA or smartphone) that uses the web service XMLA. How I can implement it? Can I use J2ME ?
    Can i have more informations ??

    I haven't tried generating stubs from WTK, but you could also try to access your WS by programming it. One of the solutions available for most of J2ME devices (MIDP/CLDC) is kSOAP (<a href="http://www.ksoap.org">www.ksoap.org</a>). I've tested it with Apache Axis and .NET-based WS servers - it works just fine, so I assume it should be working with SAP as well. This two articles might be valuable for you:

  • Graphical benchmark for Java (J2ME) phones and PDAs: JBenchmark

    JBenchmark measures the performance of Java (J2ME) enabled phones and PDAs, by running 5 small tests, each lasting for 10 seconds:
    1. Text
    2. 2D Shapes
    3. 3D Shapes
    4. Fill Rate
    5. Animation
    Check results and download software at www.jbenchmark.com!

    Wow.. i thought I bought a good phone. But reading the JBenchmark for the SonyEricsson T610 wasn't fun at at all. Are other phones really up to 3 times faster? Anyone with experiance from testing with other phones?

  • Suggest me PDAs that fully/partial support J2ME

    Hello everybody.
    I am working on a project developing a Bluetooth client/server application.
    Unfortuanately, I have met many compatibilities problems with PDAs running Windows CE 3.x or later, using some j2se libraries with Bluetooth from Avelink and Atetana companies.
    Does anybody can suggest me devices which do support J2ME fully or partially?
    What about PDAs that run PalmOS operating system?
    I really appreciate any help.
    Please help me because I have met many many compatibilities problems.
    Regards

    I use a Sharp Zaurus that runs LINUX (EMBEDIX) with JEODE as the VM. I love it.
    Mine is pretty old; it's an SL5500 and requires add-ons for Bluetooth. The newer ones, C1xx and now C3xx have Bluetooth integrated.

  • Developing J2ME CDC PP for Axim X51 PDA

    Hi..
    Im trying to develop a program for a Dell Axim X51, which is going to be using RMI to connect to a server.
    I just want to hear if what i found out so far is correct, before proceeding with my program, which is a 3. Semester project.
    J2ME CDC Personal Profile is the largest profile which contains the following classes that Personal Basis profile doesn�t:
    java.applet
    java.awt.datatransfer
    Nokia S80 emulator is capable of using personal profile.
    Netbeans 5.5.1 + NetBeans Mobility Pack for CDC + Nokia S80 emulator for CDC/PP gives the ability to develop and test J2ME CDC/PP code.
    It is possible to import java.applet and/or java.awt.datatransfer ! The reason for asking this question is that it gives me a import error, for these two classes.
    Esmertec�s Jbed CDC contains a J2ME Runtime environment for CDC personal Profile with the Optional RMI package, and it can be installed and used on a Dell Axim X51 PDA.

    HI,
    Did you find the answer?
    If not then probably you want to look at this whitepaper
    http://java.sun.com/products/cdc/wp/cdc-whitepaper.pdf
    On page 14-15-16, you can see some info on the compatibility.
    Hope it helps

  • Programming in PDA using J2ME

    Hello,
    I want to write and execute a message passing program on my PDA (iPAQ hx4700) using J2ME. How could I start?
    How can I run JAD file over my PDA?
    Which software is necessary to run a Java program over my PDA?
    what is CrEme and J9?
    I installed Superwaba VM in my PDA. But I can not run a java file over my PDA. Can anybody help?

    Yeah I am having the same problems! I am not too hot on the programing side of things as I am using J2ME for my final year electronics project.
    I tried CrEme but it works with an older MIDP so I had some issues running stuff with the new version of MIDP.
    If anyone knows of a a good JVM to run a PDA, Speak up!

  • J2ME, PDA Linux, GPRS, profiles ?

    Excuse my english, i'm french...
    Hello,
    I am actually searching for tools allowing me to transpose an application Java developed with J2SE to an application which turns onto a PDA which I think will be the Zaurus 5500.
    My application must synchronize regularly to a Mysql Database on a server. The existant application (which run on computers) is designed with Swing.
    First, I want a PDA who has Linux OS and GPRS. In your opinion, what version of Zaurus would be the best ?
    I know that on the Zaurus equiped of bluetooth technology we can connect via mobile phone equiped of GPRS to Internet, but is-there a best solution ?
    Concerning profiles, what is the best choice for you between Personal Profile and PersonalJava ?
    Finally, Is There Swing like Package for J2ME and so mobile phone programming ?
    Sincerely.
    Thank you

    Original Jeode at Zaurus is quite powerful, however it doesn't have Swing, so you shoud stuck with AWT. You can port Swing and some people did, but it isn't for such small devices. When get Zaurus, do not switch to OpenZaurus, at least extract Jeode, since kaffe doesn't work well Personally, I'm working on moving j2ee to Zaurus, I hope I am no alone, and some companies do something similar.

  • Importing Hotspot MAC address to PDA J2ME application??

    This is my Problem:
    Final Year Project. Using J2ME to write an application for a Pocket PC. Part of the application is to display details of the area of a building that the PDA is currently in, eg Floor Number. I do this by extracting the MAC address of the nearest Hotspot and then use this MAC address to determine which part of the building the PDA is in. (Building details stored in database)
    I can extract the MAC address of the nearest Hotspot using mini-netstumbler.
    My problem is how do I export this MAC address to my application. I'm new to this side of programming so any ideas greatfully appreciated.
    Cheers!!!!!!

    How are you getting the MAC address at the moment, I don't think J2ME has access to this information.

  • Can j2me application run in any pda platform?(from newbie)

    dear all,
    i am a newbie in this field. i just to ask is it possible for a j2me application run on any pda platform?for example, palm OS, window CE, synbian, and etc.
    what do i need to create j2me application?
    best regards and cheers
    eric

    Hi,
    if you use standard APIs (from MIDP 1.0, 1.0a or 2.0 specs) and run your application on device supporting this set of APIs you'll have no problem. For creating J2ME appliaction you should get J2ME Wireless Toolkit in the first place. Furthermore some IDE can be used (Sun ONE Studio, netBeans, Eclipse, JBuilder).

  • J2ME (through CrEmE) and MMAPI problem on PDA

    I am using Creme from nsicom as vm for deploying java applications on a pda device (hp ipaq 4700hx).
    I am trying to reproduce some sound (.au) through the default implementation of mmapi in j2me and all i get is an exception that realize(), prefetch() and start() methods do not exist. I have checked the /lib directory of creme on the pda and the VMclasses.zip file contains the player class with all the methods available. Any ideas?
    The code i am using is the following:
    try
       InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/sample.mp3");
       Player player = Manager.createPlayer(is,"audio/mpeg");
       player.realize();
       player.prefetch();
       player.start();
    catch(Exception e)
    {System.err.println(e);}

    Hi thanks for your reply. I had thought i had to use a vm like creme to run a java application on a pda? Is there another way?
    My code is below for a simple test program im trying to run:
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class tempConverter
         public static void main(String[] args)
              double celsius, fahrenheit;
              String celsiusStr;
              // Getting user to input the temperature they want to convert
              celsiusStr = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the temperature (in celsius) you wish to convert:");
              celsius = Double.parseDouble(celsiusStr);
              // Performing the conversion
              fahrenheit = ((celsius*9)/5)+32;
              //Displaying the result
              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The temperature in fahrenheit is:" + fahrenheit);
              System.exit(0);
    }

  • J2ME noobie - Mobile & PDA Support

    I'm just getting started with J2ME and need some advice. I'm currently developing an application that is required to run on mobile phones and PDA's.
    Support:
    I understand that there is no problem with mobile phone support for J2ME although I'm having great difficulty in determining support for PDA's.
    Do PDA's need to download the KVM or are they already installed or is it manufacturer preference. If they do have to download the KVM where can I get my hands on it, been looking around the sun website but can't get much on it except for different versions like IBM JSomething but that costs.
    Emulators:
    I've got the emulators that came with the wireless tool kit but need more anyone know where I can lay on different types of emulators.
    if anyone has any further info on PDA & mobile development that would be appreciated.
    TIA

    Ya. U need to download the KVM explicitly although u r using java enabled mobile...
    U can do that by just downloading the java wireless Toolkit on ur mobile device....
    Further assistance contact me: [email protected]
