Abstract
Applications written for the Mobile Internet Device Profile (MIDP) are called MIDlets. This chapter shows you how to develop a MIDlet and places a special emphasis on how to use the Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements. Even if you’ve never written a Java GUI before, you don’t have to worry about anything. It’s simple. In fact, the javax. microedition.lcdui package is a good place to start learning GUI programming because the package is so limited. Yet it contains the core elements of the more complicated Java GUI packages such as the java.awt packages and the javax. swing packages, so once you’ve written a few microedit ion GUIs, writing a Swing GUI should come pretty naturally.
