Java Navigator?

[cyperghost]

Is there a Java-midlet that works like a navigator or start-menu?

I'm searching for something like this:

We start the JAVA-midlet
and it opens a list of my favourite Java-programms. I navigate through the list and if I press the left button the selected programm will run.

Thank you

You can do this with the card-explorer... ;-)

[cyperghost]

LOL

Are you Private Joker?

[trustkill]

Why ?

Does the program "know" what your favourite Java programs are ?
-> No. You have to create a list manually.

In this time you can do it with card explorer, too.

(Oder verstehe ich deine Frage nicht richtig ? Klar, was ich meine musst du am PC erstellen und dann ins Root Verzeichnis der MMC schreiben, aber dann hast du doch eine Liste deiner Lieblingsprogramme wenn du den Card Explorer öffnest ?!)

German Sorry for english-speaking people but this thread is not really important

Nö... ich kanns natürlich per Unterverzeichnisse machen aber das gefällt mir nicht so. Ich wollte mehr oder weniger ein Favouriten-Ladeprogramm. Also wie du schon sagtest, daß ich die Liste selber zusammenstellen sollte und dann ein JavaProgramm das per FAV oder was weiß ich übernimmt

Ist aber nicht soooo wichtig. Dachte daß es da schon was gibt

[trustkill]

Wär eine gute Sache, bisher hab ich sowas leider noch nicht gesehen. :-(

@trustkill

Do you think we can draw the Union Jack as ASCII-art?

I think we are too much OT now

Hm, where's the problem? You can use the Java explorer for this task. I have every often used MIDlet in Java top level. That means, a MIDlet folder is located in \java\jam folder and contains .jar & .jad files.
Disadvantage is the long loading time because SL45 checks every folder for a MIDlet. The faster (but more complex way) is to use card explorer. You have to create a .jad file in root-directory for each favourite MIDlet and the .jad file must contain the correct path to your .jar file in MMC in . It's more effort to configure but faster to call.

@union jack: You forgot the color!

[cyperghost]

You're right! I've currently 150 midlets on MMC. And it takes a lot of time to load them all. Surly we can make shortcuts in root dir.... But now I've a new idea. Is theres a patch that opens specific directory in card-explorer?
So we create directory "MyJava" and set there our jad files in and if we call the patch it suddenly opens the folder "MyJava" and we just select the midlet we JAD-File we want.

Annother question. Can a Javamidlet call annother one? (That's the main idea of the JavaNavigator)

@union jack
That was only a joke Well done trustkill

[rc-flitzer]

Hm... I see this from a lazy programmer's view: we need no patch, and the "myJava"-folder has to be named with a dot before: ".MyJava". Then it's positioned as first entry, and you have to click only once more (right arrow or right softkey) after starting CardEx - and no patch is needed.

Call a midlet from another one? Maybe possible, but only with tricks (firmware calls). But whereto? The card explorer does it alright. Maybe a configuring tool to create the .jad-files would be great.

I've currently 150 midlets on MMC. And it takes a lot of time to load them all.

I have put only the most used MIDlets in top level folder. All other midlets are sorted in subdirectories like "Office" or "Actiongames". The loading time for Java Explorer depends only on number of top level directories (one second per 10 directories).

1:0 for you If I've time I'll sort my Java Apps

Es besteht nicht, aber es kann sehr leicht getan werden


@union jack:
SUPERB!

@cyperghost:
About calling a midlet from another one, perhaps we can learn from the Java midlet for recording, DictRec.jar. Just use UltraEdit to change the entrypoints as below:

00000020h: D4 F3 14 0A 00 19 00 1C 0A 00 08 00 1D 07 00 1E
That is the following Java code:
{
Gateway.call(0xd4f314);
destroyApp(true);
return;
}
About to enter any directory on MMC directly, we have such BIN files attached (I've published it on my another thread), click it to go to specified directory directly, or put its EP (using Ebin) on certain key for shortcut.
Edit its last line on UltraEdit for specified directory!
00000030h: 41 64 64 72 65 73 73 20 62 6F 6F 6B 00 ; Address book.
The attached bin files is for SL45v5508. You have to port it to v56 before using.

Can anybody port bin files to v56? Please...
