Midlet - Browser - Midlet Communication on Mobile Devices

Hi All,
We have midlet which will upon some action open the default browser on the device. We would like to know whether is it possible to call/interact/communicate with the same midlet from the browser.
1. User launches Midlet on the device
2. Navigates to various available options
3. Clicks on a button which opens certain url on the device browser
4. Navigates to various available options
5. Clicks on a button when browser communicates with midlet
6. Continues browsing the website
This is something like the applet to javascript and vice-versa communication.
I do realise that at the moment this kinda communication is not supported on the devices. Just trying my luck here.
Thanks & Regards,
Jawwad.

just because i hate seeing the word impossible
yes it is true you cannot get the browser to communicate with the java app does not mean that actions on the website could not communicate with the java app
something like this MIGHT work
java app platformrequests a url and logs a user in so their actions can be tracked
user uses browser
java app has a socket open to the website
when the user has finished and closes the browser the app queries the server to find out what the user did and updates accordingly
quite probably not what you want but all things are possible in a round about kind of way!

VERY URGENT!!transferring a midlet to a mobile device and other questions

PLEASE HELP!!
hi
i would like to know the following details regarding
J2ME:
1. What is the size of a KVM(Kilobyte Virtual Machine)?
2. What would be approximately the memory size
of a mobile phone?
3. How do i transfer my midlet application developed
with the help of a J2ME tool kit to a mobile device?
4. Should the device to which i am transferring
be MIDP compliant alone i.e as of now
i can transfer my midlet application only
to an MIDP compliant mobile device?Or rather
what are the in-built features/softwares/specification
a mobile device should have before i transfer
a midlet to a mobile device??
5.Suppose i have written midlets...and put them
in .jad and .jar files(midlet suite has been created).
Now suppose i have to download it to my
mobile phone,how do i do it?
And if other people have to download it to
thier mobile device...i need to put it on the web-site
right?How do actually put my midlet to a web-site?
Are there any steps involved for all that?
6.Will the mobile device have ENOUGH MEMORY
for executing the midlet which i have created
considering the memory constraints of a mobile
device.Also the fact that the KVM also
would take up a lot of space though it is measured
in kilobytes

1 and 2 i do not know right now.
You can transfer MIDlets to J2ME compatible devices only ,atleast for now. To do this , you must use a serial cable and download it directly to your cell phone or pager.
The CLDC has been designed to suit applications that run low on memory ( from 160 kb to 512 kb)
good luck

Communication with Mobile Device

What software/API/hardware do I need to communicate with a mobile device?

Hey, watertownjordan. i think you have a great idea. my SonyEricsson T68ie phone comes with bluetooth, i just want to communicate with my HP nc4000 laptop, which has bluetooth too.
i really need an app like that to make management of my phone much easier, cordlessly.
we can share info in time, [email protected] or MSN ID [email protected]
Sun provide a reference implementation of serial communication API. it seems not so good and a little bit deprecated.
and i only find one FREE bluetooth implementation at sourceforge.net website.

Installing MIDlets on a mobile device

I have a J2ME MIDlet that I want to download to a mobile phone.
I have created a JAR file and a JAD file. When I run the JAR file from my computer ( with the command: midp -classpath . Xdescriptor sso.jad ) everything works fine. But when I upload the JAD and JAR to my webserver, and run "midp -transient http://byfuglien.net/sso.jad" i get this error:
Error installing suite (40): Either the configuration or profile is not supported.
Does anybody have any idea what is wrong?

No, but maybe someone in the J2ME forum would know.

thanx in advance

2. What would be approximately the memory size

This depends on the phone vendors.But the min size should me 128kb.Normally it should be 128 to 512 kb.
3. How do i transfer my midlet application developed
with the help of a J2ME tool kit to a mobile device?
There no provision to do this with j2mewtk.
Once angin this depends on the phone vendors.If the phone supports to download from a site then you can directly download it from that site or you have to connect to pc(you have to install the Java Application Manger) and then you can do it by using a serial cable.
4. Should the device to which i am transferring
be MIDP compliant alone i.e as of now
i can transfer my midlet application only
to an MIDP compliant mobile device?Or rather
what are the in-built features/softwares/specification

The device must be j2me enable.ie midp/cldc compatble.Then you can download the application on to the device.
5.Suppose i have written midlets...and put them
in .jad and .jar files(midlet suite has been created).
Now suppose i have to download it to my

And if other people have to download it to

right?How do actually put my midlet to a web-site?

How to download i already explained in q3.
If you place the .jad and .jar in www.j2me.com/app/
then In your jad you must give the url of the midlet.
Then any one can download your application.
6.Will the mobile device have ENOUGH MEMORY
for executing the midlet which i have created
considering the memory constraints of a mobile
device.Also the fact that the KVM also
would take up a lot of space though it is measured
in kilobytes
Once again This also depends on the phone vendors only.For motorola i85 they support 50kb, NTTDoCoMo phones they support only 10kb size of your application.
All The Best

A Guide on How to access VMTN community through your mobile devices.

Hi Guys,
I have written a blog post on how to access the VMTN community on your mobile device when you are are not in front of your PC/laptop.
Do check it out and share it with others.
http://vpirate.in/2014/02/14/access-vmtn-community-android-mobile-device/

I assume "I can't use my keyboard, since it doesn't connect" is because it is a bluetooth keyboard.
Chances are you have something more serious that Safe Mode may not work, HOWEVER, if you cannot use the bluetooth keyboard, then you need to plug in a USB keyboard and try booting holding the Shift key.
I'm not sure that will actually work, but if bluetooth keyboard not functioning, then you need to try a USB keyboard if you think it will help.
Alternatives. If you have another Mac AND if both have Firewire ports, you could try putting the non-booting Mac into Target Mode (again you may need a USB keyboard). Boot holding Command-T to put the Mac into Target Mode. Connect the 2 Macs via Firewire cable. The Mac in Target Mode should appear on the other Mac as an external disk. You should then be able to use the working Mac's Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility to verify and if appropriate repair the Target Mode disk.
If all else fails you may need to restore your system from your most recent backup.

Creating a site for mobile devices

Good morning,
I have a number of questions relating to the creation of a
site for mobile devices. My client has given me the assignment to
re-design his current website, and to also create a sub-site
suitable for mobiles. I have spent a number of hours looking around
on the Internet and trying to gain a better understanding of these
issues. Still, a number of questions remain. if you can give me any
additional understanding, that would be great.
Question 1:
Is my understanding correct: I basically need to create two
sites, one for the wide-screen browser, and one for the mobile
browser? I can direct visitors to the mobile site using a CSS or
javascript link - if their browser identifies them as a mobile
browser?
Question 2
Mobile devices come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and
versions. PDA\s and iPhone's have different screensizes and
resolutions that smart--phones, which in turn are different again
from older and simpler phones. Should I design a site for a number
of different types of phones? That would a huge amount of work...
Question 3
I also own Device Central, an App which I should think is
very useful in this situation. But I fail to understand it! OK, so
I can see what my photo or website or flash file looks like on my
Nokia N73 - but I am not designing specifically for that phone. I
also want my design to look good on all the other phones! My client
needs a website that is not tailored to one phone, but to all
phones.
Question 4
And why does Device Central not have profiles for the iPhone?
I would think it is popular enough to warrant its own profile... (I
post this from the Netherlands, where the iPhone is not carried
yet, and so I have only ever held one in my hand). Is this because
the iphone can see regular sites just fine?
Question 5
How does Dreamweaver help me build a mobile site?
Question 6
My client wants to show video on his website. In fact, that's
what this website is all about: showing sports-videos from high
profile sporting events. Which video-formats are most suitable?
Question 7
Do all mobile phones support flash? Or only a few? Or none?
It seems to me that a flash website would allow for more creativity
in the design.
Thanks for any help you can give. Any resources you could
point me to are also very welcome...
Sincerely,
Rogier Bos
Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Web Pages not loading on Mobile Devices

Browsing web pages not working on mobile devices
I have bt inifinity 2, from my laptop and mac (with same wifi connection) webpages load no problem, from my android tablet and iphone (with same wifi connection) web pages not loading. On these devices I can load youtube videos, and apps have connections/load data, it seems to be limited just to browsing webpages.
I have tried changing ssid for the 2 channels, I have tried disabling wifi on the router, and using apple time capsule as the router, everything seems to result in the same problem, you cannot browse web pages on mobile devices.
previously i had adsl from bt and didnt have these issues.

That is correct, I took our wildcard cert (same one used for GW

Question about bluetooth communication between PC and mobile device

I am a newbie of bluetooth communication. This time I need to have connumication between PC and mobile device (mainly mobile phone) by sending strings. PC is acted as server and mobile device act as client.
For using bluetooth in PC, I use bluecove 2.0.1
I have already connected them successfully.
When I want to send strings between them, it is found that it can only do one cycle of communication (client -> server -> client).
For my design, they can communicate multiple times.
I simulate the core class of the system, the performance is fine.
Cound anyone help me to watch the code and give me some advices?

i haven't worked with devices but only with the toolkit emulators;
it definitely is possible...
u have to send the image as a bytestream and receive the image at the jsp end...
and then reconstruct the image.
the Stream classes in J2ME AND J2SE are all u will require.
also the Image class.
i have not done this but i have successfully sent an image frm a jsp and displayed it on the emulator.

J2me cldc midlet for windows mobile(cdc) in netbeans

Hi,
I have a midlet developed in Mobility Pack 5.0, and I have to change it so, that it works, and looks ok on Windows Mobile. That means that I have to port a cldc midlet to a cdc device. I've found two vm-s for windows mobile, for running midlets. J9, and CrEme. I also saw that the mobility pack for cdc together with CrEme make it possible to build CDC apps for windows mobile. The question is, how can I integrate the cdc windows mobile emulator with the mobility pack (for CLDC?), to be able to develop midlets for Pocket PC?
Thanks!

I think you go to Tools Menu -> Java Platform
and add a new platform by chose j2me platform.
Then the netbeans search for the emulator and add it in the IDE support.

How do I set iPhone so it isn't recognized as mobile device when browsing?

The great thing about having a smartphone, and especially the iPhone, is that it has a fully functioning Web browser. There are so many sites out there that still force the iPhone to display and use the dumbed-down mobile sites, however, and without the option to view the regular, full-function site. Contacting the sites' owners about it yields no results. What I'd really like to know is how to make it so that my iPhone is not recognized as a mobile device. I believe the Android has that option; why can't we have it?
The particular reason I'm asking is that I also use Yahoo business for e-mail, and Yahoo does not allow iPhone users to bypass their mobile mail site. Now, I know what you're going to say: just use the built-in mail feature. In fact I do, but the trouble is that I send and receive lots of mail in the course of my business, and sometimes I need to find a mail I sent a month or several months ago while I'm on the road. The iPhone search function can't help me with that unless I spend an hour downloading all of my sent e-mails from the past months first, and even then it sometimes doesn't find what I'm looking for. The mail search on Yahoo's Web site works perfectly (and quickly!) for that, but for some reason Yahoo doesn't allow me to switch from my personal Yahoo mail to my business Yahoo mail when using their mobile site. I can do so easily on their full-function site, but because I cannot hide that I am a mobile user, I can't access this functionality while I'm away.
I've already given my feedback about this to Yahoo multiple times, and nothing has been done. Please tell me how I can adjust this setting on the iPhone so that I can view the full-function sites as a non-mobile user.

When you access a web page, the browser will identify itself to the server as either the desktop or the mobile version and the server will send the appropriate page to the end device. In the case of the iPhone, Safari identifies itself as Mobile Safari, hence the mobile pages. This is very annoying and cannot be changed.
However, there are third-party browsers which could be set up to identify themselves as desktop browsers. I use the Atomic Web Browser which is fantastic as it has many improved features compared to Mobile Safari. Download it from the AppStore and, in the Settings menu, make it identify as Safari Desktop. It's that simple.

New to FIOS, Can't Browse With Mobile Device

I recently switched from DSL to FIOS. I have the Actiontec mi424wr Rev. E router. Everything has been working well with the exception of my wireless PDA. It connects to the wireless network ok but I an not able to browse the internet with the device. It is a Pharos GPS/PDA Phone 600 with Windows Mobile 6.0. It seems to work with any other WIFI.
It seems to me that it must be something with the firewall but I have not been able to figure it out. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Stan

Check and see if your PDA will alow you to create a connection where you can enter the SSID and WEP encryption key. Both can be found on the back of your Actiontec router. Your PDA can probably see the SSID from the router, but it needs the key.

WLC Guest Network Mobile Device Browser

Hello,
We are having some odd issues with people using there blackberry's and iphones on our guest network. Most of the time they can connect, but when they launch there browser it doesn't always bring up the authentication page, and just says network lost. If they get past that, and the login page comes up and they authenticate they get some kind of key store message. If they cancel that they can browse the web but most sites seem to switch from wifi to the mobile network and then they are not using the wifi, just the mobile network.
Is there some kind of security issue with the third party certificate we use? Why would the browser switch back and forth from wifi to mobile networks?
This behavior is not seen when one of these devices connect to a secure WLAN in our network.
Thanks,
Dan.

It always worked 100% of the time with a laptop. I just upgraded the controller software to the latest 6.x version and it seems much better on the mobile devices now.

View a website on a mobile device

Could anyone point me in the direction of tips/tutorials / APIs etc. that will help me
view/render websites on a mobile device?
I have connected successfully to the internet and effectively read the HTML and then appended it to the
form on my emulator, obviously this gives me the raw HTML so my form has at the end something like:
<p> Here's my webpage</p>
<p> Thanks for visiting etc....</p>How does one go about turning this into a same as it is displayed on the internet.
Am I trying to reinvent the wheel, thinking about it I'm trying to write a browser... aren't I?
Won't that be horrifically complex?
How do existing phones do it?
Thanks
Dan

Thanks for that.
That is exactly what I need.You're most welcome. Happy to be of service.
Although I notice the platform request opens the website on Firefox on my computer rather than in the emulator.
Is there anyway to get it to open within the emulator?Ahem, no. The request is after all to the platform, and the default browser is activated -- in the case of your computer, Firefox.
I assume on a real phone it would use whatever browser is installed on the phone.Spot on. The default browser -- usually the one that came preinstalled, not any added later (like Opera Mini).
But be aware, the API warns that the device "MAY wait to handle the URL request until after the MIDlet suite exits."
Cheers
