Serve JAD files OTA with PHP

November 3, 2008 on 2:14 pm | In J2ME, PHP, Uncategorized | No Comments

Some handy code to dynamtically serve JAD files for OTA installation. The below script sets the appropriate headers types, also tidies up the JAD file removing stray characters which can cause issues and setting the correct file paths internally.

Place the PH script in a root directory as serveJAD.php. Place your JAR and JAD files in a subdirectory /J2ME

Call the script by serveJAD.php?format=J2ME&file={jad minus extension} or you can use the Apache rewrite below and call as /J2ME/file.jad

ie

serveJAD.php?format=J2ME&file=game

or with Apache rewrite

/J2ME/game.jad

Converting a Midlet to a COD file for OTA installation

February 14, 2008 on 12:01 pm | In RIM / Blackberry, Uncategorized | 3 Comments

God, RIM sucks. Thought I’d mention that. I hate Blackberries with passion. Really.

Now, if you are converting a Midlet to a COD file, you will need to use the infamous rapc tool provided with the RIM JDE ( in the bin directory if you are looking for it ) . Now, along with issues with multiple versions, bugs and what have you, one big pain is if you want the RIM version of the JAD file created for OTA installation, rapc doesn’t give you all the parameters if you use the -midlet paramater. If you DON’T use it, you get a nice JAD but the COD will not work.

So, to get around this, I created a small app to extract the RIM specfic information from the COD file generated by rapc.

Generated the COD using

rapc import="%jde%\lib\net_rim_api.jar" codename=%jar% -midlet jad=%jar%.jad %jar%.jar

where %jde% is your JDE path, %jar% is the name of your module.

Extract JAD information from a COD file

To run:

java -jar cod2jad.jar {cod file} {module name}

This will dump the extra information to stdout, so you can just append it to your JAD file with >>, ie

java -jar cod2jad.jar path.cod myapp >> path.jad

Remember, once you have done this, open the COD file in winzip ( or whatever ) and extract the seperate elements to your webserver. Once note, if you COD is only made of one module, this will probably fail ( sorry ).

Oh, and if you are using Netbeans components, and/or getting verification errors, try turning down your obfusication level in your project - rapc hates the splash screen and wait screen when obfusicated for some reason. The other option is to try including the net_rim_api.jar in your project ( but don’t include in the package ).

And even nicer of me, here is the source code:

Drawing filled polygons in J2ME

May 11, 2007 on 10:13 am | In J2ME, Java, Useful stuff | No Comments

Check this sourceforge project for a really useful class.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmicropolygon/

Works really well on most of the phones we have tried it one. Once you have this class you can then do filled and stroked thick lines in J2ME.

Find the point at which 2 lines intersect

May 11, 2007 on 10:07 am | In Java, Useful stuff | No Comments

Given two lines ( defined as 2 x,y coordinates in an array ), this will return the x,y position at which the two lines intersect. If they do not intersect, it will return null.
