J2me swing, cdc and window

my company has developed a working version of swing w/ serializable on the desktop and like to import them into a pda. when i research this option online and i find out that only cdc can do that. however, when i download cdc and it seems that the package is only linux. where can i download a package that can used on window. i need to have swing on the pda, can cdc support all swing component? if not, what other options can i have?? i read online that j2me does not fully support swing, is that true?? i am a new programmer in j2me and really appreciate any help that i can receive.
many thanks

First you should be aware that CDC is a configuration, so it does not contain any GUI components. In J2ME there are 3 different Profiles which are based on CDC.
Foundation Profile (FP), Personal Base Profile (PBP and Personal Profile (PP). Only PP contains enhanced Java GUI elements. But it ONLY contains AWT. SWING is NOT supported and is not part of the PP specification.. Some JVMs like Creme from NSI (http://www.nsicom.com/) support Swing as opptional non-specification package. But you must buy the Creme JVM. The IBM VM J9 supports a reduced version of SWT (a GUI Framework), but not SWING. So generally it is very difficult to use SWING on a PocketPC.

  • J2ME for PalmOS and WinCE? GPRS?

    Hi all,
    I'm a Java developer for a couple of years, but I really know nothing about J2ME (or JME).
    As a J2ME newbie I'd like to know if there's support for J2ME on PalmOS and Windows CE (Pocket PC). Could somebody point me some resource describing the supported plataforms?
    Is it straightforward to do network communication using GPRS? Is it even possible?
    Thank you!

  • J2ME/CDC and Netbeans

    Hi all,
    I am compiling some code in Netbeans using the CDC libraries and I am getting

  • Java IDE (JBuilder) cannot find J2ME's API and packages

    Hi,
    could anyone help me with this?
    I went to sun's java web site, and I downloaded and install the latest version of the wireless toolkit. I need to create a windows application that can send/receive MMS messenges, and hence the need for the J2ME's API and also WMA's API.
    However, even after I installed the wireless toolkit, my Java IDE (JBuilder 2005) cannot detect any packages like "javax.microedition.*" or "javax.wireless.*" etc etc
    Is there a place where I can download/purchase J2ME. Please be patient with me because I am a newbie in the world of J2ME... thanks :)

    When you configuring your project in JBuilder just add some jar (which you need) from wtk library in section "include"
    Project properties
    Paths
    Required libries
    and add here addition j2me libraries.

  • Help on cdc and pp

    1) i would like to develop application for pocket pc using cdc and personal profile for pda and i still don't how to begin even after reading the documentations that came with cdc and profile.help me please!
    2) is there any IDEs and emulators available which can be used to develop cdc and personal profile based application.
    3) can please recommend a high end pda that is suitable for application developed with cdc and personal profile.is the latest HP PDA : h5550 suitable?
    4) Please recommend web sites or books regarding application development for pda using cdc and personal profile.

    1) What you need is to buy Daryl Wilding-McBride's Java Development on PDAs (available at Amazon).
    2) About IDEs, yes, there are specific IDEs like the one from IBM. Though I found it difficult to get it running. Actually, you can use any IDE; I mean, I use Kawa because that's what I first learned. You have to install the proper JDK, and also you can use JavaCheck to make sure that your code is compliant (sp?) with Personal Java (yes, Personal Java). The biggest problem with this would be to find the Specifications file, but if you look for them in this forum you'll find them.
    About the emulator, yes, you can use the one from Microsoft (if you don't find it let me know and I'll look for the link). It's a huge download, because it doesn't come by itself, but as part of a whole package. This emulator doesn't emulate the hardware, only the software. Which means that you need a JVM that will run on x86 CPUs. For that purporse you can download CrEme (which is free, like the emulator).
    3) I guess any hidh end PDA is good for it (as soon as it's Java compatible)
    4) I mentioned the book already. That's the best you'll find right now. Also, you could go to www.javaranch.com and read through the J2ME board.
    If you need any more help, let me know
    Good luck!

  • Swing Components and Fullscreen Exclusive

    Hi, I am trying to write a program that can switch between full screen and windowed mode seamlessly, while still being able to use standard swing components. I have never worked with the full screen exclusive mode before and am having trouble getting the components to repaint properly.
    The following code works fine in the windowed and undecorated modes, however when I switch to fullscreen exclusive mode all components disappear and only repaint upon mouseover or other interaction. Calls to repaint do not make any difference.
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    import java.awt.DisplayMode;

    import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
    public class FullscreenTests {
         private static boolean hwlast = false;
         private static GraphicsDevice dev = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice();
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              final JFrame fMain = new JFrame("Title");
              fMain.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              fMain.getRootPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
              JButton win = new JButton("Windowed");
              win.addActionListener(new ActionListener () {
                   public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e) {
                        setWindowed(fMain);
              fMain.getRootPane().add(win);

              ful.addActionListener(new ActionListener () {

              f.setVisible(true);
    }On the same note, if there are better ways of doing this I would be glad to know. This is just a quick test so I haven't done any checks etc when switching to fullscreen exclusive.

       public static void setHWFullscreen (JFrame f) {
          hwlast = true;
          f.dispose ();
          f.setUndecorated (true);
          f.setIgnoreRepaint (true);
          // add this
          Graphics g = f.getGraphics ();
          f.paintAll (g);
          f.setVisible (true);
          dev.setFullScreenWindow (f);
          dev.setDisplayMode (new DisplayMode (800, 600, 32, DisplayMode.REFRESH_RATE_UNKNOWN));

  • Flicker with heavyweight swing component and setVisible(false) on Linux

    Hi All,
    I'm using Java 6 update 14 on Ubuntu Jaunty.
    I'm developing a GUI for a system running linux. I'm using the Swing framework for the GUI but need to include 3D animation accelerated in hardware. I'm using the JOGL framework for applying the 3D animations which supplies one with two swing-like components, the GLJPanel and GLCanvas. These two components are lightweight and heavyweight swing components respectively.
    The difficulty arises when adding the heavyweight GLCanvas component into the gui. Often I need to do a setVisible(false) on the component in which case the GLCanvas hides correctly, but shows a flicker before the background is displayed. On digging a little deeper I found that because the GLCanvas is heavyweight, on linux it calls down to the sun.awt.X11 classes to do the setVisible(false) on hide. The very deepest call, the xSetVisible(false) method of the XBaseWindow class, causes the component to be replaced by first a grey backgound, and then the correct background. This intermediate grey background is causing the flicker.
    The source for the sun.awt.X11 packages was not available with the standard JDK 6 but I've found the open jdk source which matches the steps taken by the call. The xSetVisible method is as follows:
    0667:            public void xSetVisible(boolean visible) {
    0668:                if (log.isLoggable(Level.FINE))
    0669:                    log.fine("Setting visible on " + this  + " to " + visible);
    0670:                XToolkit.awtLock();
    0671:                try {
    0672:                    this .visible = visible;
    0673:                    if (visible) {
    0674:                        XlibWrapper.XMapWindow(XToolkit.getDisplay(),
    0675:                                getWindow());
    0676:                    } else {
    0677:                        XlibWrapper.XUnmapWindow(XToolkit.getDisplay(),
    0678:                                getWindow());
    0679:                    }
    0680:                    XlibWrapper.XFlush(XToolkit.getDisplay());
    0681:                } finally {
    0682:                    XToolkit.awtUnlock();
    0683:                }
    0684:            }I've found that the XlibWrapper.XFlush(XToolkit.getDisplay()) line (680) causes the grey to appear and then the XToolkit.awtUnlock(); line repaints the correct background.
    Using the lightwieght GLJPanel resolves this issue as it is a light weight component but unfortunately I'm unable to use it as the target system does not have the GLX 1.3 libraries required because of intel chipset driver issues (it has GLX 1.2). I cannot enable the opengl pipline either (-Dsun.java2d.opengl=True) for the same reason.
    Is there a way to configure a heavyweight component to avoid the operation in line 680? As far as I can tell, the flicker would disappear and the display would still be correctly rendered had this line not been executed. This problem is not present in windows.
    I've put together a minimal example of the problem. It requires the JOGL 1.1.1 libraries in the classpath. They can be found here: [JOGL-download|https://jogl.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=11509&expandFolder=11509&folderID=11508]
    I've also found that running the program with the -Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true vm argument reduces the flicker to just one incorrect frame.
    The program creates a swing app with a button to switch between the GLCanvas and a normal JPanel. When switching from the GLCanvas to the JPanel a grey flicker is noticeable on Linux. Step through the code in debug mode to the classes mentioned above to see the grey flicker frame manifest.

  • JavaOne 2012: JavaFX on iOS, Android and Windows 8 Metro???

    Besides wonderful demos on JavaOne 2012 I'was wondering one big thing: Where are the news from JavaOne about JavaFX (embedded) running on iOS (ready to AppStore), Android and Windows 8 metro????

    Thanks Adrian for that information! Another guy who spoke with people from Oracle told us via twitter that's not a technical and not a political problem! But what you say ("management has not deciced yet...") sounds like a political problem. I can't believe that Oracle does not believe in a developer demand for iOS and android support?!
    Yeeees, many many developer are looking for a good(!) technology to develop crossplatform mobile applications for phones and tablets. currently there is no really good technology. As a developer you have to decide to choose the native way - so you have to develop 3 times the same app for iOS, android and windows 8 -/ metro, or choose the HTML5 way. Web apps written in HTML(5), javascript and CSS are good for small and simple things. But the main problem with web apps is the really poor rendering performance, especially of Android devices! Developing web apps with HTML frameworks like JQuery Mobile, Sencha Touch, Phonegab/Cordova and so on doesn't make much fun. It's really a hard and time consuming job to develop native looking apps with HTML5 which works performant too...
    So what we really really need is a real crossplatform technology like Java and JavaFX! JavaFX for iOS, Android and Metro would be a killer technology! Java (Swing) is not really often used to develop main stream applications...Anybody know a popular application like Photoshop, Word, Firefox, Angry Bird, Evernote, ... written in Java Swing??? No, Java is only used for business applications and server code (J2EE).
    So if Oracle invests many dollers in pushing JavaFX as the new platform for modern user interfaces, the most important thing - IMO - is to support modern operation systems like iOS, Android and Metro. There are so many young developers who developing innovativ apps for the iPhone - all these developers are Oracle clients of the future if they would use Java(FX)! The Java language is simple and JavaFX uses modern technologies like CSS and XML - technologies which are known by young developers.
    So Oracle, please show us your stuff from your labs, publish Java embedded for iOS, Android and Metro.
    The most important thing for me concerning JavaOne 2012 was any anncounement of "JavaFX on iOS, ....". But I was really disappointed to hear no single word of this topic...
    So Oracle please speak to your developers and clients, speak with us and stop this annoying secretiveness...
    Best regards,

  • Java Swing apps cause Windows 2K to hang

    I have an IBM clone machine running a P4 and Windows 2k that hangs whenever I try to exit out of a window in a Java swing app. Whether the window is the main application window or a menu window instantiated by the application to be a child of the main window, does not matter. It hangs regardless. I have tried multithreaded apps and they do not cause my windows machine to hang. Neither do simple swing apps. But any multithreaded swing app causes it to hang. JEdit causes it. Forte causes it. I am running Java 1.4.1. Thanks for any help in this.

    Freezes under Java 1.4.1 with Windows
    Posted on Dec 14, 2002 - 02:57 PM by slava
    Installation This is turning into a FAQ, so I thought I'd post it on the community site. A lot of people have complained that jEdit can hard freeze their windows system after upgrading to Java 1.4.1. If you experience this, the problem is not with jEdit, but with your video driver. Updating the driver to the latest version should solve the problem; downgrading to Java 1.4.0 might also work.

  • Problem with Sessions and window.open

    Hi,
    Hi everyone,
    Help Please!!!
    I am working with Sevlet session objects and HTML forms and windows. I have an HTML form for the user to supply a username and password. Once the user clicks submit I need to open another browser window that has no toolbar, no location, no status bar, etc. The user should also be able to go back to that login screen and login again and open a 2nd, 3rd, etc. instance of the application. My problem is that each application is being asigned the same sessionId. I believe it is being asigned to the main login window and thus to the other child windows it opens. Is there a way to work around this? Do I need to make the user open another browser window to login? I need to be able to let the user open multiple instances of the application with unique session ids for each.
    Any insight is GREATLY appreciated on this topic. Anything you can tell me about sessions (Java), IE, window.open would help greatly!
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!
    MA

    To achieve this, you must introduce another level of
    abstraction to the Servlet specifications. When you
    work with JSP/Servlets you use mostly the HttpSession
    to handle user related tasks, and the aplication
    context, for things that are common to all users. But
    inside the HttpSession scope, you want to create
    containers that have 'smaller' scope and are uniquely
    identified.
    A ipothetical scenario :Let's say that you must have
    multiple connections to several databases, on each
    database user rights beeing diferrent, and you must be
    able to track user actions globaly, and eventualy
    capture a 'Close Application event' and close all db.
    connections.
    1. when the user first accesses the login frame create
    the HttpSession. In the HttpSession object, store a
    Hastable (let's call it 'ConnectionTable'). Each
    object in the Hashtable must identify uniqely a
    database connection. Now, to create unique identifiers
    ids, make the keys in the hashtable java.lang.Long
    objects, created using System.getCurrentTimeMillis().
    This guaranties there will be no possible confusion.
    From each new open window, on each request to the
    server, along with the usefull parameters, send the
    connection identifier. When proccessing the request,
    select the object from the Hastable wich corresponds
    to the ID.
    2. Now, the values in the ConnectionTable, must act as
    the containers that I mentioned in the first
    paragraph. The simplest way to do this is to have
    again a Hashtable derived class to do the job, wich
    exploses methods similar to HttpSession: setAttibute (
    Object key, Object value) and getAttibute ( Object
    key, Object value). This container may use internally
    a Hashtable to store object, and explose only the
    getAttribute and setAttribute methods for clarity. Any
    way, this is a problem of implementation. Let's call
    this class CustomSession.
    Now, a textual activity diagram:
    1 user accesses the main page, you start a new
    HttpSession; In the HttpSession object, store the
    ConnectionTable object.
    2. the user enters the userID and pwd and adatabase
    name, and a new window is opened. Let's supose the
    data entered is valid.
    3. when you process the login data, you create a new
    CustomSession object. you put in it whatever you would
    put in your HttpSession. You generate a unique
    identifier using System.CurrentTimeMillis(). Put the
    CustomSession object in the ConnectionTable, using the
    generated id as key. Send the response.
    ..... later on .....
    100. the user asks for a particular action to be
    performed - e.g. a row deletion. The page contains a
    form with text field where the user introduces the
    row number, a submit button and a hidden input with
    the ID.
    101. you process the data. Get the ID from the request
    object, get the ConnectionTable from the session, get
    the CustomSession using the ID as key, do whatever
    your logic was doing, but obtaining the objects from
    the CustomSession instead of HttpSession
    NicNic,
    Very slick idea. I think that it could work and it seems that there would be not security issues because the id that you would store on the client side is the Unique Identifier and not the actual Session Id. Do you forsee any security issues for this implementation?

  • How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

    Hi!
    I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients.   Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website .      Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines?  Thanks!

    Now it works!  Thanks, Denico!
    The reason I saved to text:   The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work.   I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text."   I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text.  So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant.   And after that, it worked!  But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
    I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
    Thanks for clearing that up.
    But just one question.  WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

    Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
    I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
    After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
    I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
    I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
    It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
    If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

    Of course not.  Didn't you bother to read the TOU of this forum?  This is a USER TO USER technical support forum.  Apple doesn't post here.

  • IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

    Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

    I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!
