Features: This book introduces Java 2, MicroEdition platform standard, which supports the development of applications for consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, two-way pagers, and personal electronic organizers. Sun, in collaboration with major consumer device giants like Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Research In Motion, Samsung, Siemens, and Sony-Ericsson, has brought a highly portable, low-target-memory application development environment to the rapidly growing wireless market through the unique capabilities of Java technology, including platform independence and enhanced security. Written by experts from Sun, the founder of the J2ME platform, and key consumer device manufacturers like Nokia, the book is authoritative and provides a comprehensive introduction to the overall architecture of the Java 2 Platform, MicroEdition (J2ME). It focuses particularly on two key J2ME standards: Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) 1.1 and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0. The book covers mainly the CLDC class library, MIDP application model, MIDP user interface library, MIDP high-level user interface, MIDP low-level user interface, MIDP Sound API, MIDP persistent storage, MIDP networking and serial communication, network security, event-driven application startup, MIDlet suite security, MIDlet deployment, and additional MIDP APIs. It fully covers all aspects of J2ME platform development technology and includes a comprehensive API reference for both the CLDC and MIDP application programming interfaces. It is one of the most authoritative reference books in the field of J2ME platform development. For software developers engaged in wireless mobile device development, this book is an invaluable reference.
