0. You'll use:
- J2ME WTK2.0
- MIDP for PalmOS 1.0
- emacs
1. Download:
- j2me_wireless_toolkit-2_0-linux-i386.bin
- midp4palm-1_0.zip
2. Install J2ME WTK2.0 under /usr/local/WTK2.0
- export J2MECLASSPATH=/usr/local/WTK2.0/wtklib/kenv.zip:/usr/local/WTK2.0/wtklib/kvem.jar:/usr/local/WTK2.0/wtklib/lime.jar
- export J2MEWTK_HOME=/usr/local/WTK2.0
3. Execute: /usr/local/WTK2.0/bin/ktoolbar &
This tool is used to:
- Create a new project
- Compile
- Run
- Debug
- Deploy (generate jar and jad files)
Obs1.: There is NO tool to EDIT, use emacs...
Obs2.: There is NO templates...
4. Step-by-step project creation:
4.1 - Click
- Project Name: RPP-WebBrowser
- MIDlet Class Name: webBrowser.MyBrowser
Click
Some msgs will be generated on the ktoolbar console:
Creating project "RPP-WebBrowser"
Place Java source files in "/usr/local/WTK2.0/apps/RPP-WebBrowser/src"
Place Application resource files in "/usr/local/WTK2.0/apps/RPP-WebBrowser/res"
Place Application library files in "/usr/local/WTK2.0/apps/RPP-WebBrowser/lib"
and the window `Settings for project "RPP-WebBrowser"` will be opened.
LET IT UNMODIFIED for now and click .
4.2 - cd /usr/loca/WTK2.0/apps/RPP-WebBrowser/src
4.3 - emacs MyBrowser.java &
- enjoy programming the new web browser!!! Here's a simple example:
package webBrowser;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
public class MyBrowser extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
private Form form;
public MyBrowser() {
form = new Form("MyBrowser");
form.append(new StringItem(null, "MyBrowser MIDP"));
form.addCommand(new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 1));
form.setCommandListener(this);
}
public void startApp() {
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(form);
}
public void pauseApp(){}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {}
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {
notifyDestroyed();
}
}
4.4 - Press the button. Some msgs will appear on the ktoolbar
console:
Project settings saved
Building "RPP-WebBrowser"
Build complete
4.5 - Press . It'll open the emulator (a phone) and run the
application. The following msgs should appear on the ktoolbar console:
Running with storage root temp.DefaultColorPhone1049977275626
Execution completed successfully
378738 bytecodes executed
25 thread switches
429 classes in the system (including system classes)
1999 dynamic objects allocated (64620 bytes)
1 garbage collections (0 bytes collected)
Warning: Cannot access audio system
5. Ok, It's high time to package it onto a jar file and generate a prc one.
Let's start with the jar file.
5.1 - Click Project->Package->Create Package. The following msgs should
appear on the ktoolbar console:
Project settings saved
Building "RPP-WebBrowser"
Wrote /usr/local/WTK2.0/apps/RPP-WebBrowser/bin/RPP-WebBrowser.jar
Wrote /usr/local/WTK2.0/apps/RPP-WebBrowser/bin/RPP-WebBrowser.jad
Build complete
5.2 - Right, let's install MIDP for Palm OS v1.0. It provides:
MIDP for Palm OS is targeted at Palm OS handhelds (Palm, Handspring,
Sony, etc.) running Palm OS version 3.5, and includes the
following functionality:
* A binary release of CLDC and MIDP for the Palm OS platform.
* A desktop utility for converting MIDlets to PRC files.
* Built in capability allowing users to set MIDP preferences.
* Some sample MIDlets.
* User's Documentation.
a-) Download (if not done yet) midp4palm-1_0.zip (553,083 bytes)
(http://java.sun.com/products/midp4palm/download.html)
b-) Install it:
- cd /usr/local
- unzip midp4palm-1_0.zip
* It'll create the directory /usr/local/midp4palm1.0
* Synchronize (install) PRCFiles/*.prc files with your Palm
(It's the JVM implementation for PalmOS and
application examples)
c-) Generate a prc file from jad + jar files:
- Run the converter:
* cd /usr/local/midp4palm1.0/Converter/
* java -jar Converter.jar
It'll open a window. File->Convert will open another
window. Provide the filename:
/usr/local/WTK2.0/apps/RPP-WebBrowser/bin/RPP-WebBrowser.jad
Click OK. All right, now you have the file:
/usr/local/WTK2.0/apps/RPP-WebBrowser/bin/RPP-WebBrowser.prc
Install it on your Palm device.
NOTE: If you Project->Clean, it'll not generate the prc file
'cause this tool cleans every jar and class files. To
regenerate everything Project->Package->Create Package.
Appendix A - Synchronizing using USB Cradle
* modprobe visor
* click Synchronize on Palm
* pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -i RPP-WebBrowser.prc
