Ask YC: How to write a java app for the cell phone ?

2 points by iamyoohoo 18y ago

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any clue of how to do this. We're trying to create a java (MIDP?) app to be able to show articles from a website on the cellphone. Any idea or references of where to start ? Thanks

Try google or the Java docs http://java.sun.com/javame/index.jsp http://java.sun.com/javame/index.jsp

Unfortunately 'the cell phone' does not exist. Even though they all probably support some form of MIDP, they are all slightly different. It's a true nightmare. I would certainly pick a niche market like S60 or iPhone/Touch and not try to be cross-cellphone compatible.

  And then you can work native in order to give your app much more access and power than a java app would have.
