Pro J2ME Polish

Pro J2ME Polish is written for wireless and other mobile Java programmers who want to “polish” their efficiency and acquire in-depth knowledge about programming real world J2ME applications. It also uncovers all common device limitations and quirks, and explains how these can be circumvented.

The book contains a suite of tools for wireless programmers to optimize applications for multiple devices, or to localize their applications in two simple steps. Author Robert Virkus includes a device database with all relevant data for programming in J2ME. He also provides a game API for MIDP/1.0 devices compatible with an MIDP/2.0 game, so readers can automatically port to MIDP/1.0 devices. And for programmers who want to use animated backgrounds or Custom Items on MIDP/1.0 devices, Virkus explains why the GUI of J2ME is the key.
