MIDlet

You've now added the JSR-238 library to your development environment and are ready to start writing your internationalized MIDlet.

Each record store can be visualized as a collection of records, which will remain persistent across multiple invocations of the MIDlet.

Please note that this article assumes that you are familiar with MIDlet development in the J2ME environment.

Through MIDlet, it is now possible to communicate between GSM-compatible mobile phones in a system-independent and portable way.

Once the MIDlet is running the main user interface should appear in your WTK device emulator, as shown in the figures below.

Put simply, the MIDP Record Management System (RMS) provides a means to store application data that persists across invocations of a MIDlet.

Known issue: after updating a MIDlet when MIDlet's name or icon has changed, the MIDlet cannot be launched from Application Shell.

Take a look at the complete code for the DownloadImage MIDlet and then we'll discuss it in more detail.

Internationalizing MIDlets is one of the key requirements involved in reaching a wider market.

Take a look at the complete code for the FileViewer MIDlet and then we'll discuss it in more detail.

Now let's write a simple MIDlet that displays a string according to the locale as well as an image.

The DateFormat MIDlet (see the complete source code) will demonstrate the steps necessary to access a Java servlet from within a MIDlet.

The MIDlet class provides APIs for invoking, pausing, restarting, and terminating the MIDlet application.

This provides a basic mechanism to notify the MIDlet application of an incoming message.

The application management software can manage the activities of multiple MIDlets within a runtime environment.

It allows a MIDlet to receive a callback when new messages are available to be read.

The DownloadImage MIDlet will demonstrate the steps to download and display an image in an MIDP application.

Now you'll write a simple MIDlet to display date and time, numbers, percentages, and currency data.

In addition, the MIDlet can initiate some state changes by itself, and notify the application management software of those changes.

This problem can be circumvented by re-installing the updated MIDlet.

The same applies to selection of mobile devices for PIM MIDlet to run.

Create a class that extends javax. microedition. midlet. MIDlet and start developing your application.

The PIM MIDlet should be run in a configuration that supports PIM i. e. JSR 75.

The second one specifies whether MIDlets that have access to the record store, can create new records.

The first parameter specifies whether or not only those MIDlets in the same suite can access the record store.

A MIDlet having CBS capability can receive messages, but cannot send them.

The J2ME record management system (RMS) provides a mechanism through which MIDlets can persistently store data and retrieve it later.

You can get it from the download section together with the article's entire source code.

To display the sample, I wrote a simple MIDlet.

Now, let's view the output of our MIDlet.

Click Debug to begin debugging your MIDlet.

The ReadWrite MIDlet only writes text strings to the record store.

The last method provdes a means for a MIDlet to open a record store in another MIDlet suite.

We're going to develop one last MIDlet together before we close the J2ME 101 series.

Discussion of how a J2ME MIDlet will use the secure email service.

Set a breakpoint somewhere in your MIDlet's Java code.

For example, a MIDlet suite can only access persistent record stores created by itself.

No two record stores within a MIDlet suite (that is, a collection of one or more MIDlets packaged together) may contain the same name.

Now, run the MIDlet.

A record store is created in platform-dependent locations, like nonvolatile device memory, which are not directly exposed to the MIDlets.

In order to get notified of an incoming message, the MIDlet registers a
