WTK 2.5.2 introduced pretty annoying bug to a very usefull feature, that is, ability to run the midlet from the command line, so that you can see all the system.out printed to the console.
it was always possible to do the following:
\%PATH_TO_WTK%\bin\emulator.exe -Xdescriptor:MyMidlet.jad
But since I upgraded to WTK 2.5.2 for CLDC 1.1, I’ve started getting this [...]
Here is the interesting issue observed on the Motorola V3M. Application (in fact it’s VM) startup time deteriorates.
When midlet owns multiple RecordStores it’s startup time is painfully slow, in fact you don’t even see any message from the system that it is doing something, as the phone simply freezes. So far I found out that [...]
With all the variety of JSRs and their availability on different devices, porting of mobile applications ends up being quite a challenge. The traditional approach is to use precompiler, that is still one of the best options and in my mind is the last tool that I use. What I ended up using to turn [...]
I have a AS3 class Loan that is being fetched from the server and the whole Loan class is marked as [Bindable]
Now in the Form I have a: <mx:TextInput text=”{currenLoan.loanAmount}” />
The problem is that user modifies the text in the textInput, it does not automatically update the variable that the control is bound to. I’m [...]
Great article that outlines the similarities in of entrepreneur and King Leonidas of 300.

Here it is, enjoy!

There comes a time in any mobile project of significant size, where no matter how careful you were, you missed something (or you over optimized) and you have memory leak.
WTK2.5 comes a long way to show the count of live objects in memory, but it does not allow to trace the references to see why [...]

I’ve tried using the Flex Builder 2 as Eclipse plugin and failed.
I have 3.2 WTP with J2EE and Hibernate Tools plugins. After installing the Flex Builder 2 as plugin into my existing Eclipse I had problems.
Every second time flexbuilder tries to compile the flex project it would crash with OutOfMemoryException. I even tried to increase [...]
I’m going through the “Rich Internet Applications with Flex and Java” by guys from Farata Systems.
Overall I like that authors are hardcore consultants with deep knowledge of Java, so it is very easy to understand the concepts that book presents as they are targeted to Java developers specifically. I also like the fact that there [...]
There is a new article that describes jsr 75 PIM package implementation.
Here is also some sample code that opens up the contacts loops through the list and extracts Name and phoneNumber from each record.
if (PhoneConstants.JSR75_INCLUDED) {
PIM pimInstance = PIM.getInstance();
ContactList list = (ContactList) pimInstance.openPIMList( PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_WRITE);
Enumeration contacts = list.items();
while (contacts.hasMoreElements()) {
Contact contact = (Contact) contacts.nextElement();
String name [...]
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been going through Adobe Flex 2: Training from the Source book and playing with Flex Builder2.
Overall Flex looks as a very solid platform and I look forward using it this year. Though flex builder, that is the IDE that Adobe sells for 499$ is not worth your dollars. [...]
