With the release of Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) running on a compact version of
the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Sun Microsystems opens Java to the rapidly expanding
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) market.
This comprehensive tutorial and reference provides an in-depth look at developing
PDA software with J2ME, covering both Palm and PocketPC. Succinct and practical,
Java™ Development on PDAs focuses on real-world programming
tasks with extensive code examples and a full-scale PDA application for an enterprise
environment.
This book describes the J2ME platform and the KVM and discusses design issues
specific to constrained resource devices. It also provides in-depth coverage
of networking and Internet access, the user interface, data storage, and integrating
PDAs into the corporation.
You will find such specific topics as:
- J2ME configurations
- CLDC and CDC profiles
- Selecting a PDA for development
- The J2ME wireless toolkit
- Designing for constrained computational capability
- Designing for constrained screen and memory size
- User interfaces in PersonalJava
- Storing information using MIDP
- The RMS APIs
- The generic connection framework
- Internet access from the Palm
- Networking on the PocketPC
- Web service access from the Palm
- PocketPC ImageViewer
Java™ Development on PDAs concludes with a look into
the future of PDA technology and the expanding role of these devices in
the enterprise.
Written for anyone with a basic knowledge of Java, this important resource
is a must for all those interested in the Palm and PocketPC markets.
