“Computing that deals with connection
exploration on mobile devices”
Coulouris, Dellimore, Kindberg. Distributed Systems (4th edition)
Mobility transparency
allows the movement of resources and clients
within a system without affecting the
operation of users or programs. Two flavours:
migration and relocation

13. quot;small is the betterquot;
• Challenges

16. Welcome to the…
JavaME
Development

17. Introduction
• Java Platform, Micro Edition
– Java Community Process (JCP) based
– Java Specification Request (JSR)
• Reference Implementation (RI)
• Test Compatibility Kit (TCK)
• Proprietary APIs
• Native Applications
• Since 2000
• 80% handsets: 1.2bi phones, 1200 models,
180 carriers

18. Architecture
• JVM, KVM
Source: SDN - java.sun.com/javame

19. Core APIs
• Configuration
– CLDC, CDC, BD-J
• Profile
– MIDP, IM, PP, PBP, FP
• Umbrella
– Fragmentation: Computational, Physical,
Functional
– JTWI, MSA (Full, Subset)

21. Development Infrastructure
• Many environments: handset dependency
• For this lab:
– SDK: Sun WTK 2.5.2, JME SDK 3.0
– IDE: Eclipse Ganymede (3.4)
– Plugin: Mobile Tools for Java 0.9
• Unified Emulator Interface (UEI)

22. Hello JavaME World!
• build, obfuscate, preverify, run, debug, and
deploy
• Create a project
• Project structure
• Create a MIDlet
– javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet
• Over the Air (OTA) / installation
• On Device Deployment/Debug
• MIDlet.this.platformRequest(“tel:*”)

23. MIDlet Lifecycle
• Application Management Software (AMS)
– Java Application Manager (JAM)
• notifyDestroyed()
• notifyPaused()
• resumeRequest()

24. MIDlet Lifecycle
Coding
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
public class HelloWorld extends MIDlet {
public HelloWorld() {
System.out.println(“MIDlet constructorquot;);
}
protected void destroyApp(boolean arg0) {
System.out.println(quot; MIDlet destroyApp()quot;);
}
protected void pauseApp() {
System.out.println(quot; MIDlet pauseApp()quot;);
}
protected void startApp() {
System.out.println(quot; MIDlet startApp()quot;);
}
}

25. Application Packaging
• Profile dependent
• MIDlet Suite
– Java ARchive (.JAR)
– Java Application Descriptor (.JAD)
• Package generation

26. Application Configuration
• Java Application Descriptor (.JAD), Manifest
• MIDlets
• Permissions
• Properties:
– System
System.getProperty(“javax.microedition.*”)
– Application
MIDlet.this.getAppProperty(quot;propertyNamequot;)

27. Code Optimization
• Free objects
• String Vs. StringBuffer
• Arrays Vs. Collection
• Moderate use
– Synchronized
– Instance variables
– Parameter number
– Resources initiation
– Interfaces, internal classes
• JAR obfuscation, compression

28. GUI
Source: IBM - ibm.com

29. GUI
Coding
public class HelloWorld extends MIDlet {
private Display display;
private Form myForm;
// initialization on MIDlet constructor
public startApp() {
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
// display.getCurrent();
display.setCurrent(myForm);
}
...
}

30. Keyboard Handling
• Components
– javax.microedition.lcdui.CommandListener
– javax.microedition.lcdui.Command
• Registration
– setCommandListener(CommandListener l)
• Notification
– commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {}
• Potential deadlock: operations such as IO and
networking should run on a separate thread

31. Keyboard Handling
Coding
public class HelloWorld extends MIDlet {
Displayable d = new TextBox(“Title”, “Body”,
20,TextField.ANY);
Command c = new Command(“Exit”, Command.EXIT, 0);
d.addCommand(c);
d.setCommandListener(new CommandListener() {
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable
s) {
doSomeAction();
}
} );
}

32. Persistent Storage
• Record Management System (RMS)
– javax.microedition.rms.*
• RecordStore
• RecordEnumeration
• RecordComparator
• RecordFilter

33. Persistent Storage
Coding
...
RecordStore rs = null;
String value = quot;Java ME in actionquot;;
...
try {
rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore(“RecName”, true);
byte[] recData = value.getBytes();
rs.addRecord(recData, 0, recData.length);
String data = new String(rs.getRecord(1));
} catch (Exception e) {
...
}

34. Connectivity
• Generic Connection Framework (GCF)
– javax.microedition.io.*
• Remote (Infrastructured)
– HTTP, HTTPS
– TCP, UDP
– Wireless Messaging (JSR120, 205)
– Push Registry (MIDP)
– SIP (JSR180)
• Local (Ad hoc)
Source: SDN - java.sun.com/javame
– JABWT (JSR 82)
– Ad Hoc Networking API (JSR 259)

35. Connectivity
Coding
HttpConnection httpConn = null;
InputStream = null;
try {
httpConn = (HttpConnection)
Connector.open(quot;http://www.cejug.orgquot;);
httpConn.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
httpConn.setRequestProperty(quot;User-Agentquot;,
quot;Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC 1.1quot;);
is = httpConn.openInputStream();
int ch = -1;
while((ch = is.read()) != -1){
...
}

– can easily embed the web
• Open source
– http://source.android.com
• Apache 2.0 and GLP v2 license

41. Architecture

42. Basic Components
• Activity
– UI component (Form like) typically corresponding
to one screen
• Intent Receiver
– Set and respond to an external event: notifications
or status changes. Can wake up your app
• Services
– Task without UI that runs in the background
• Content Provider
– Allow applications to share data

43. Packages
android.util android.telephony
android.os android.hardware
android.graphics
android.text android.net.wifi
android.database android.location
android.content android.media
android.view android.opengl
android.widget
android.app

44. Development Infrastructure

– android.app.Activity
• Project structure
• LogCat
• Deployment/Debug

46. Application Configuration

android:versionName=quot;1.0.0quot;
android:screenOrientation=quot;landscapequot;>
...

47. Application Anatomy
• Activity
– Can reuse functionality from other components by
making a request in the form of an Intent
– Can be replaced at any time by a new Activity
with an equivalent IntentFilter
• Intent
– Request to do something: move from screen to
screen. Activity.startActivity(myIntent)
• Intent Filter
– Description of Intent types

48. Application Configuration
...
<application android:icon=quot;@drawable/iconquot;
android:label=quot;@string/app_namequot;>
<activity android:name=quot;.HelloActivityquot;
android:label=quot;@string/app_namequot;>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=quot;android.intent.action.MAINquot; />
<category android:name=quot;android.intent.category.LAUNCHERquot; />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=quot;.HelloListActivityquot;
android:label=quot;ListActivityquot;>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
