Hide the default "Close" command in the BlackBerry

When you develop a J2ME application for the BlackBerry you might see that a "Close" command is in the menu even if you never added it.

That's because the operating system of the BlackBerry add this command automatically. To avoid this behaviour you have to add a your command of Command.EXIT type to the screen:

Command myCommand = new Command( "My label", Command.EXIT, 1)

In this way the default command will be replaced by your "My label" command.

Error downloading and installing a j2me application

When you run your j2me application on your emulator and everything works fine you think you are almost at the end of your fatigue but it is there that the "pains" could start.

The next step is try your midlet on a real phone maybe trying to download it from a web server using your GPRS/UMTS connection.

You have to prepare your public web server to support the provisioning of the jad and the jar files adding the correct mime types:

application/java-archive jar
text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad

At that point you can write the url in your phone's browser and starts the process. If all is ok you can run your application in your phone after few seconds.

If no, you can get error messages (to be honest sometimes not very clear) that can say that something went wrong during the download/installation process ("Invalid file", "File not supported" or something else depending on the implemetation of the phone).

I'll try to list a few possible causes such in a way you can use to debug easily your problem. Some of the common causes for the failures are:

- The jad file contains values for MicroEdition-Configuration or MicroEdition-Profile jad properties which are not supported by the phone (values is CLDC-1.1 for MicroEdition-Configuration but your phone is CLDC-1.0);
-The jad specifies a values for the MIDlet-Jar-Size property that doesn't correspond to the real size of the jar;
-Some properties present in the jad file have different values in the jar file (that shouldn't happen if you use automatic tools for the building and packaging like WTK, EclipseME or NetBeans but you can experience them using ANT or J2ME Polish)
-You are using some Optional Package which are not supported by your phone;
-The size of the jar is too big for your phone (some devices have a limit for the size of the midlet);
-Your download process involves a redirect that is not supported by the phone's browser.

Nokia Serie60 and 40 bug: softkey codes are not reported on a normal Canvas

Forum Nokia Logo

This bug is reported by forum.nokia.com in their "Knowledge Base" section.

Some key codes are not reported through the keyPressed(), keyRepeated(), and keyReleased (methods of the Canvas class on a normal, non-full screen Canvas. This applies especially to the left, middle (when present), and right softkeys. Those are only reported back to the above key-capturing methods on full-screen Canvas instances.

The MIDP 2.0 specification says:

For some devices the keys used for commands may overlap with the keys that will deliver key code events to the canvas. If this is the case, the device will provide a means transparent to the application that enables the user to select a mode that determines whether these keys will deliver commands or key code events to the application.

This does not happen on all tested devices.

The tested devices are Nokia 6301, Nokia 6555, Nokia N95, Nokia E61i. The families affected are S40 5th Edition (and FP1) and S60 3rd Edition (and FP1 and FP2) .
