MOBILE programming

Mobile programming

•  Java 2 micro Edition J2ME is one of the version from Java ..

• It is used for mobile phone, PDP’s programs..

e.g   of a mobile programming Drawing,controls,interaction,file handling..

Basic concepts for mobile programming..

1.  Configuration 
2.   Profile 
3.    Optional package

These three things able to understand the java environment, java features ,API’s for mobile programming

Configuration:

Basically two types of configuration available

1)CLDC:  connected limited device configuration

• It will support less memory devices like mobiles, with minimum no. of core classes

• It   It contains JAVA VM(virtual machine), more core classes

2)CDC :   connected  device configuration

• It will support large memory size devices:

•  It contains java VM to execute byte code, to facilitate communication between native code and  mobile device..

Profile:

• It contains  device specific ,add more functionality,U I classes

CLDC:   It contains two  profiles:

1)       

1.        MIDP:       mobile information device profile 
2.         PDAP:         personal digital assistant profile: it is improved over MIDP with more UI classes

CDC:

• It also contains two profiles:

1. FP Foundation profile: It contains more UI (user interface)classes
2.  PBP Personal Basis profile: It extend from FB with JAVA AWT control..

• Now recent profile is personal profile (PP)..

Optional package

• It is more specific to particular device, it contains additional PI’s when compared to profiles..

•  Core classes not only inherited from configuration, but also from profiles and optional packages..

e..g Bluetooth API we made it as optional package..part of a profile, then profile is oriented to Bluetooth enabled device ..

ü                                     But mostly we employ CLDC with MIDP profile..
