Features: This book provides a detailed description of how to develop applications for Java-supported embedded wireless devices such as mobile phones and PDAs using J2ME. The book consists of 17 chapters, divided into four levels. Chapters 1 to 4 start with outputting a simple greeting message "HelloMIDP" in the simulator, giving readers a general understanding of the ForteCE J2ME Wireless Toolkit and MIDlet properties. Chapters 5 to 8 focus on introducing MIDP API user interaction controls and advanced user interface creation. Chapters 9 to 16 thoroughly discuss the development of secure and user-friendly applications for mobile devices, and comprehensively explain the security, network connectivity, compatibility, and data operation issues that may arise during development. The final chapter concludes the book with an example program that covers almost the entire content. The book is rich in examples and detailed source code, making it suitable for developers who prefer to learn by analyzing and modifying running example programs, as well as for Java programming enthusiasts looking to catch up with mainstream wireless device technologies and learn J2ME.
