Creating mobile phone applications

Bladerunner · Post by **Bladerunner** » 29 Nov 2007, 12:35

Can anyone tell me which software I should use to create applications for mobile phones? I've looked up J2ME, but Sun Microsystems' page hasn't really been much help. Also if there's a free program to do it with, I'd be grateful to know of it.

Thanks,
Blade.

there's generally an SDK for each phone... far better to go for that than simply using the ME dev kits.

when you say sun's site wasn't much help, what do you mean? - i downloaded the latest kit last week without issue...

Thanks for the replies. I have downloaded an SDK kit from sun.com, but i cant seem to program with the thing. Maybe it's my stupidity or something, but i just can't figure it out. I have the Sun Java Wireless Toolit 2.5.2 for CLDC.

which comes with a whole swathe of examples...

again, what is preventing your from coding?... does the CLDC app fail to launch? - unresolved compiler issues?

the devil's in the details

Firstly, do you know Java?

If not, the offical tutorial is a good resource.
