Newbee in j2me needs some starter help

Hi,
I am a newbee in j2me and need a starter help.
My aim is work on mobile applications/services and for that what stuff I need. I have already downloaded wireless kit. Does I require some additions softwares and what?
Can I find tutorials and starter help and from where?
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Navin.

You can refer to article 'Think small with J2ME at' -
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/wireless/library/wi-j2me/
It shows by example deployment of a sample application using wireless toolkit.

  • Need some quick help - fairly urgent!

    I've just taken over a new job and have been the task of finishing the new brochure for Christmas, there's not a lot to do but a lot of the measurements need changing
    This is the layout I'm dealing with..
    All the boxes have been made in Illustrator
    The text has been done in In'Design and it seems every piece of text is it's own box if that makes sense
    My question is, if I select the whole specification box - copy, paste it into Adobe Illustrator and change the text there, then paste the edited box back into In-Design, will I lose quality when it gets printed?
    I'm worried if I do it this way it may come out blurred? Or am I just worrying about nothing?

    I couldn't find an Illy file in the end and have ended up creating tables in ID to replicate what was already there!
    Didn't take very long and I guess if I didn't do it now, I'd come across the same situation next time!

    There certainly are viable "quick fix" solutions proposed here, and if the dealine is looming and this file never needs to be touched again I might be tempted, but they are only postponing the pain for a file that needs periodic updates, and I wouldn't waste effort on them, myself, when that time can be put toward a proper rebuild now if that's the ultimate goal.

  • Getting Started with Podcasting - need some direction/help

    hi,
    I need some information on how to get started Podcasting. Any good online resources, software, etc.
    I have looked at garageband3 on my iMac and it seems to be quite good, but what else is out there and does anyone have any tips or suggestions on getting started?
    Thanks in advance!!
    BCA

    I still have GB 2 so I don't know about GB's podcasting abilities (though some of the questions I see here suggest it's not all that wonderful).
    I use, and would recommend, Podcast Maker:
    http://www.potionfactory.com/podcastmaker/
    which is $29.95 and is available on a 30 day free trial.
    You make your podcast using GB or whatever program you want, and save it as an MP3 file. You then open it in Podcast Maker and add the summary and description fields, and if you want it to be an enhanced podcast you add chapters and the artwork. It will then upload it to your iDisk or the server of your choice, create the XML file, and ping the Apple Store if required. All this is seamless and easy to use.

    interface Personal {
    void Deposit ();
    void Withdraw ();
    the thing is that i need some help cause i cant find some sollutions....
    i d like to give to the user a random id....
    then at the CurrentAccount subclass i d like to add a Username to the user.Then Level 2 worries me as well.....I ll post u my assignment so u can have a look....If u could help me with Level 2 sollution and the thing that i told u before i d be grateful.......
    by the way..i hope that u all guys have nice holidays!!!
    Here is the assignment:
    JAVA LAB ASSIGNMENT � B241
    Bank Account
    Level 1
    Create a bank account that reads in the following information about a single customer
    account:
    Initial balance
    Deposit amount
    Withdraw amount
    Current Date
    Give the account holder a random account id number.
    Display error messages if the number of parameters is incorrect or negative parameters are
    entered.
    Verify that the amount being withdrawn is available (i.e. make sure that the initial balance +
    deposit amount is greater than or equal to the amount being withdrawn).
    Calculate the balance amount in the account after the transaction has been completed.
    Tasks:
    - Create a BankAccount class, which defines a bank account
    - Use command line arguments to read in the account information
    - The customer account values are private and accessible only through the
    BankAccount class
    - Use the file, InsufficientFundsException.java given to you (Location:
    /global_ro/rekha/B241/assignment) to create an Exception class called
    InsufficientFundsException.class that throws an exception if an
    InsufficientFundsException occurs in your BankAccount class. Make the necessary
    changes to the file if you feel the need to do so.
    - Print out the following information:
    2
    account holder�s id
    balance amount
    amount being withdrawn
    the current date and time
    (Hint: this will occur when the amount withdrawn is more than the total amount in the
    account. Your withdraw method throws the InsufficientFundsException exception which
    should be caught in your main program from where you are calling the withdraw method).
    Subclass the BankAccount class for the specifics of a CurrentAccount class that adds an
    additional field to the already existing information:
    User name
    The account balance and account id values should still be private and now accessible only
    through the CurrentAccount subclass.
    Allow the CurrentAccount class to provide overdraft protection of up to �100.
    Task:
    - Incorporate the additional functionalities into your initial program and print out the
    values as before.
    ********************************END OF LEVEL 1 **************************
    Level 2
    Add the following functionalities to your Level 1 program.
    Define an interface named Personal, consisting of two methods:
    Deposit
    Withdraw
    Read in the account information specified in Level 1 for more than one user through the
    command line parameters and display appropriate error messages as before.
    Calculate the balance amount in each account after the transaction has been completed.
    Tasks:
    - Increment the account id each time a customer is added (For instance, if the first
    customer id is 100, the next id should be 101 and so on).
    - Implement the Personal interface in the BankAccount class.
    - Print out the customer information for all customers as you did in Level 1.
    *****************************END OF LEVEL 2*****************************
    Level 3
    Extend the above features to add some more personal information about the customer such
    as:
    a. Name: surname first name
    b. Date of birth: day/month/year
    c. Address: street
    Town
    Postcode
    d. Phone: home number work number
    e. E-mail: e-mail address
    Customer�s data is stored in a file. It is retrieved from the file when the bank is opened and
    stored in a memory buffer. The memory buffer is updated after every transaction. The
    contents of the memory buffer are written into the file when the bank is closed.
    Design a data management structure of the bank with several customers. The bank performs
    �deposit� and �withdraw� transactions by using Java I/O streams.
    Use the SimpleClient.java and SimpleServer.java files (Location:
    /global_ro/rekha/B241/assignment) as a base for creating your own Client and Server
    windows. Make the necessary changes to the files for them to work within your programs.
    Tasks:
    - Create a non-graphical user interface to be able to
    o enter customer�s data
    o display customer�s personal and account data after every transaction
    - Write a JAVA program to read and write customers data from/to a file.
    - Create a client � server networking environment using Java�s networking capabilities
    such that data is entered through the server window and displayed by the client in the
    client window.

  • GT70 680m/8970m troubleshooting - need some experienced help!

    Hi!
    Looping for some serious help...
    After some erratic behavior my i7 3rd gen GT70 just stopped working with MSI 680m 4GB. The card shows on occasions in manager, but both - discrete and HD4000 have no installed drivers and wont work unless 680 is plugged out (then intel kicks in without prob). That happened after some automatic driver updates and possibly BIOS update. Tried a ton of these and Bioses, rather randomly, trying to solve the disappearance of my 680m from control panel, but non of them worked. To make the things worse, I've messed with EC firmware editions trying the "beta" t25,21,16,17 - one of them bricked the lappi for good... Had MSI re-flash the bios (couldn't do the blind flash myself) but they say they can't help me with 680 since it is from GT60 originally and it's not supported by GT70 (I switched it from 675 to 680 in the other MSI laptop some 8 months ago - both worked without a problem until the issue). Don't have access to check my 680m in another MSI to check if it's working and is no hardware failure, but have access to 8970m from CLEVO for some decent bucks - was wondering which bios should I install to run it in my GT70 or which bios/EC firmware to flash so my old 680 start working again... This or that... Any idea? Guys? Svet? Sure will make the donation if needed of course!

    Checked that out. What I need is some info which BIOS to use in GT70 0ND for 680m or 8970m, particularly. My 680m stopped working after the bios/ec firmware update, still shows in manager but tries to the same resources as integrated Intel HD resulting in both not working. Is there a bios that allows for permanently switching off optimus and integrated gpu? Or the bios that will accept radeon 8970m (that works perfectly in 2nd gen MSI gt780 by the way...). Any ideas?
    No special BIOS is required to support 680M. Just use the latest BIOS release for model GT70 0NE by MSI, it should be working on the machine as long as there is no other strange issue, like a malfunction VGA card/Mobo....

  • Replaced zd8000 motherboard and need some troubleshooting help please............

    Hello All,
     I just replaced the motherboard on our HP zd8000 (pentium 4, 3.0ghz, 2gb ram, Win XP) with a used but tested good MB and need some help with the following.
    1) I now cannot play DVD movies as the error no "dvd decoder" present which was not an issue before?  Where can I go to get a free decoder that will work, as Windows only shows paid versions?  We have the dvd burner/reader with lightscribe. SOLVED! CNET HAD DECODER.
    2) The internal temperature, according to SpeedFan, is running around 140 degrees with just some Internet browsing.  Is that a normal temperature because I only have one of three fans running on the laptop?  Is there anyway of making all three fans run to be sure there are no issues?  I am positive I hooked up everything but again only one fan seems to be running?
    3) I discovered some of the pins were damaged in the card reader.  I may get the Seller to give me a discount, no intention of tearing it apart simply for that, but is there any concern of short or otherwise?
    4) Our battery stopped charging years ago, these were notorious for such, but I purchased a new one last year and hoped the replacement MB would allow charging again.  No such luck though.  Is there anything I can do, BIOS update etc, to make the battery charge?
    5) Anything you folks can think of for me to test to insure the new motherboard is working properly?
    Thanks, Ralph 
    P.S. This was a correct replacement board according to MB serial numbers.  Everything else seems to be functioning properly other than mentioned.  Our graphics went out on the original MB.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Some of the wires had pushed out of the harness that connected the other two fans.  I double checked and re-attached those so now the laptop is running quite a bit cooler.
    EVERYTHING IS GOOD TO GO!

  • New College MBP - Need Some Windows Help

    Hope this is the right forum (?)!
    For those of you who run Windows on your Macs ...
    My son starts college next year - he's been on a Mac since age 3 (go figure).(We have 5 at home and 5 at work).
    I'm getting him a MBP 17" but he'll need Windows (which I can operate smoothly but thank God know nothing about when it comes to installation and what's on the OS).
    He'll be using OS X for most of his stuff, but some classes apparently require Windows.
    So - BootCamp - that much I can figure out. It's what I need to buy to get Windows installed which has me in a quandary (the MS site is horrible). Does Vista come with Word and Excel and PowerPoint installed, or do I need to buy that separately (along with the Mac version which I have for his OS side of the computer)?
    I'd like to get him set up so he can get used to that strange operating system over the summer, so if any of you parents/pros have any suggestions on what to buy from MS, and how to best get it set up,I'd sure appreciate your input. On that score - antivirus for Windows? What's suggested?
    Thanks (from a confused dad who bought his 1st Mac in 1984, and never looked back - or elsewhere!).

    HI,
    Son goes to school but you have homework to do
    BootCamp - Run Windows on your Mac I gave you this link just in case. Might need it in the future.
    To my knowledge Word/Excel and PowerPoint software does not come pre-installed on Windows Vista. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080629231850AAv0bby
    *"On that score - antivirus for Windows? What's suggested?"* Anti-virus software is definitely a must when running Windows on a Mac. (Avoid Norton). Try here. http://www.mcafee.com/us/

  • Need some beginner help on formatting and images

    Just getting started with ID so am going through the learning process and could use a little help getting past some of the road bumps.
    Are ID character and paragraph styles similar in use and effect as those in Word? In other words, are there important differences in when to use text styles and paragraph styles? Do they cascade? Did I make a mistake by setting up two styles, one character and one paragraph, and applying them to a paragraph? Is there a good practice anywhere where you don't use a paragraph style to set character styling but instead use a character style and a paragraph style together?
    Get the idea? I'm looking for sort of an ID styling 101.
    Thanks in advance
    Tom

    No Style is not a style. It is a lack of style. It exists in the list of
    styles because there has to be something there to choose from when you
    choose to base a style on nothing, or when you want to *not* apply a
    paragraph style to a paragraph. When you don't want any style, you want
    no style (hence the name). The only time I deliberately apply No Style
    to a paragraph is when I want to "lock down" the formatting so that it
    won't change if I change a style (because No Style has no definition to
    change).
    Basic Paragraph is a special style that can't be deleted from the list
    of styles. For my books, I like to make a text style, give it a name
    like "text", and then base everything on that. As far as I can tell, the
    danger in basing everything on Basic Paragraph is simply that you may
    have it defined differently in another document and if you copy material
    from one document to another, everything will change (because everything
    is based on Basic Paragraph and Basic Paragraph is defined differently).
    Again, as far as I can tell, this is no different than having two
    documents, both basing everything on a style called "text" and defining
    "text" differently in those two documents. Either way, if you copy
    styled text from one document to another, you may see changes if the
    style exists in both documents and is defined differently.
    Your particular workflow depends mostly on the people you're working
    with. It's certainly possible to set up a Word template containing all
    the styles your writers will need and then tell them to use them. Then
    you won't have to do anything except Place the Word file. My experience,
    though, is that 99% of Word users don't even know styles exist, so this
    may require some education...
    In my workflow, I almost always get Word files after they've been
    written (and usually formatted to death). I Place Word files, keeping
    formatting, and then search and replace the formatting that I want to
    keep for styles and then select all and Clear Overrides. This way I get
    to keep the author's hard work but dump all the garbage the author
    introduced.

  • Lenovo A6000 Softbricked? Needs some serious help--Please

    Hi My A6000 phone got factory reset and then I tried to recover some lost pics...but I was advised that my phone needs to be rooted first, so the software opened kingo root soft, It showed me the message that phone has been rooted and when it rebooted there was a notification of software update which I said ok and ever since then the phone is stuck on system recovery mode (not sure if it is called soft brick or not) and I have tried many things including choosing all the options starting from reboot system now, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update from sdcard but nothing seems to work!!! oh I for got to mention on the top of the screen it says  Androoid system recovery <3e>Kraft -A6000_S035_150507 and then gives all the option and i have tried this following : https://boycracked.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/unbrick-lenovo-a6000/ but some how for the first solution it keeps on saying download failed, emergency recovery download failed...anyways it does not work  Is there any soultion to this!!! Please help if there is one!

    it worked the link from boycracked (mentioned above )actually worked the trick was to hold vol up+down key (while the phone is off) and then insert the usb into your computer, secondly my computer kept of saying that qualcomms --digital signatures not verified and the port is supposed to be Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 where as mine showed up to 9091, to solve this I uninstalled the drivers and then disabled digital signatures (use goggle how to disable signatures verification on whichever windows you are using) and it worked fine. Thank you all

  • Need some Big help pro-100

      Hello, everyone first time here, but i have been reading the forums for the past 2 weeks.   My wife just bought a Pro-100 printer 2 weeks ago, and we are haveing nothing but problems setting this thing up.  I'v been on youtube, and different forums trying to get info.   I got home installed the setup CD, followed all the steps, I'm useing a windows pc.    Here is where my problems now come into play.  I went to canon website, and downloaded the latest driver for the printer.  I also Downloaded the print shop pro.   My wife uses LR6, and she, and I have only had it maybe 4weeks, we are very new at this.   The pictures are coming out dark and muddy.  Now I have read on here from searching, it's my screen, I have gone through and have done the optimal settings possible for my screen.    PSP for some reason just wont open in LR as a plugin.  I also dont even see a icon to open it manually.  this is where im lost, and so is my wife.  From seeing several post, i went into canon my printer and put the settings on manuel.  I'm just not sure if this thing is printing at its optimal settings.  Does anyone have any info on how to actually instal PSP?   From what i also have read is If we have LR6 we really don't need PSP to get good prints, but i'm just curious as to why PSP wont install into LR6 as a plugin like i see people with on youtube.  after Downloading PSP i went to LR6 open up File>plugin extra  and it list nothing for a plugin option.  Does anyone have a guid how to get this thing loaded as a plugin?   Also if we don't need PSP and are better off just printing from LR how should i set it up?  sorry for all these questions the wife and I are pretty bad at this stuff.  if anyone could offer some insight it would be much appreciated. 

    "From what i also have read is If we have LR6 we really don't need PSP to get good prints, ..." You absolutely do not need it.  LR6 has everything you need to make the highest quality prints from the Pro-100. "Also if we don't need PSP and are better off just printing from LR how should i set it up?" You do absolutely need to learn Lightroom.   It is important you start with Page Setup.  It must match the other settings in LR.  Remember 9 times out of 10 the Pro-100 prints EXACTLY what you told it to. This one major point is where most people goof up with Lightroom. Next go through each tab and make the necessary adjustments.  If you have a specific question on how each is used, just ask.  But most are pretty self explainatory. Canon is a hardware maker. Adobe is a software maker.  Each does that job well.  Neither does the others job well! 

  • Need some URGENT help with 3 DVD mastering issues PLEASE! :

    Hi there,
    Firstly, I am running DVD SP 3.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.7 on a G5 Dual 2 GHz 3Gb Ram plenty of HD space...
    I am creating a DVD with: An intro sequence, a main menu, 4 sub menus, and 4 sections with around 12 chapters each.
    I am having some big problems, and a pretty stuck. I will lest them separately below, numbered. If you are able to help, please refer clearly to which number you are helping with. Any help is MUCH appreciated! Many thanks!!
    1. Each of the 5 menus (1 main, 4 sub) have a background video, and a separate audio track. I added the background videos by simply dragging them to the assests panel, then from there onto the menu editor window. They are created in FCP and are properly encoded. However, when I click the motion button, or use the simulator, the videos do not show up. The music plays, but all i see is plain black.
    What is going on?!?!?!
    2. I am really struggling with rollover buttons. I have custom created buttons, and I wand them to have a soft red glow around them when hovered over. HOW ON EARTH DO I ACTUALLY DO THIS??
    The buttons are in photoshop so can be exported with/without background/glow in any format.
    3. Is it possible, once I have got the above rollover working, to have an image to the right hand side of my buttons which changes with the the button rollover. i.e. hover over button 1, see image 1. hover over button 2, image changes to image 2.
    PLEASE PLEASE give any help you can, I have a deadline coming up and am quite stumped. Thanks again!!

    I am still having problems regarding issue Number 1. PLEASE ANYONE HELP?!
    Sorry, I'm not sure about the motion menus. I avoid those whenever possible. But you might click on the menu in the storyline tab (whatever it's called -- the hierarchical view with the disc, tracks, slideshows, etc.) and look at the properties and see if there's anything you have to enable specifically for motion. And be sure the motion button is on on the main display/preview area, but it sounds like you already know how that works.
    For your information, here is a screen grab of the menu I am trying to create:
    http://www.redhavoc.co.uk/stuff/menu.jpg
    I think it is obvious that when a button is hovered over, I want it to glow red, and the image to the right will change to match the respective button.
    IS THIS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE????
    Yes.
    First, your menus have to be layered menus. Unfortunately, there's no way to convert non-layered menus to layered menus, so if you already have non-layered, you'll have to just delete them and create new layered menus. The button (and menu item) to create a layered menu should be right by the normal new-menu item.
    Next, the graphical work is all in Photoshop.
    Side tip: You may already know this, but I found it's best to use 640x480 for the Photoshop document. When I do text and leave it as a text object in the Photoshop file, it resizes poorly in DVDSP. So this ends up being another 720x480 vs. 640x480 square/rectangular pixel conversion thing. DVDSP plays in the 640x480 world, at least as far as the designer can see. So I keep my images at 640x480, and it doesn't have to resize, and everything looks right.
    Moving on... Set up your basic background, the part that won't change (or will have other things covering it, like for your square image).
    Then put in all the buttons and images you'll be using, each part in a separate layer. This could have fifteen buttons (you have five buttons, and there can be three versions for each -- inactive, selected, and activated versions) and five or six square images (you said one for each button, and you might want a blank default if, say, you want to add a "back" button on the menu and want some blank or default image for the square when they're on the "back" button).
    Sometimes people don't bother with a separate "active" button state, but you usually want some visual feedback that they clicked the button. Also, I usually just build the default (unselected) button into the background; that's less hassle later on, and it will just draw the selected or activated buttons over that when the user is on that button.
    Line up all your buttons and images. All the square images lined up perfectly on top of each other, all the buttons in the right places (so you'll have three buttons stacked on top of each other in each spot). Give each layer a short but quickly recognizable name, and line them up in a consistent order. (button1-default, button1-selected, button1-active, button1-squarepicture, then button2-default, ... etc.) Photoshop and DVDSP don't care, but it makes it easier for you later.
    Note that earlier versions of DVDSP won't show Photoshop layer effects. (They handle layers, just not the effects, like inner glow, outer bezel, etc.) I don't remember when they changed this, but I think it was version 4.something. So if you're using that method to make your buttons glow, you may have to flatten each selected or active button layer, and you may even need to create a dummy blank layer underneath it first to give it something to flatten onto.
    Save the file as a standard Photoshop file (.psd). Drag the file onto your DVDSP layered menu and set it as the background.
    Now, in DVDSP, create all your buttons. Just drag boxes over/around the button pictures you have. Feel free to make them extra-big; users won't see the actual area you've selected, and bigger areas makes it easier for people to hit them if they're using a mouse on a computer to watch the DVD. You can point the buttons to their targets now if you want, and set the end jumps on the tracks if you want. (I tend to set the end jumps on the tracks so they automatically select the button for the next track.)
    Now's the fun part, since it will actually hook everything up and should be easy if your naming layer order were consistent. Click on the layered menu (in that hierarchical view) and look at the properties window. (Sorry I can't remember the technical names for all these windows; I'm doing this all from memory. So feel free to ask more questions if you can't find what I'm talking about.) One of the properties tabs should have a grid of checkboxes with a list of your layers. Make sure the background is checked for all of the states. Then check the layers you want to show for each button state, as well as the corresponding square image to show for each.
    Again, I'm doing this from memory, and I can't remember exactly how things are listed in that grid. But I remember it keeps your layers in the same order you put them in the Photoshop file and shows you those names, so it should make it easy to go down the list and check the right boxes.
    And another side tip: You can update the Photoshop file, but once you've put it in DVDSP, if you change the layer order, it will screw up the check boxes you checked. It always shows you the layer names correctly, but it keeps the checkboxes in DVDSP simply assigned to the layer number, so the fifth layer will keep the same checkboxes even if you juggle them so some other layer is now the fifth layer. So if you do juggle the layers in Photoshop, go back and fix the checkbox list in DVDSP.
    I put a sample Photoshop file based on yours in
    http://dan.black.org/layered-menu-sample.psd
    It's quick and dirty, but shows the layer layout, and you should be able to drop it on DVDSP to play with. (I also won't leave it there forever, maybe a few weeks, so anybody reading this in a month or more probably will get a 404 for that url.)
    Again, doing this from memory, so feel free to ask if anything doesn't work or doesn't make sense.
