A “zoom mode” has the screen present 7 lines of enlarged text for easy reading. The Motorola T720 has a second, 96- by 32-pixel black-and-white screen on the outer case.

    Motorola T720 appear at a much higher quality than on devices whose display hardware limits the palette to 256 colors. The Motorola T720 generates a 12-bit color by taking a 24-bit RGB color value and truncating the four least significant bits in the byte that represents each color component.

    Debugging Programs CodeWarrior Wireless Studio supports the low-level debugging of Java projects, however, direct on-device debugging is not supported. Instead, you must use the Motorola T720 Simulator available in the Motorola SDK for J2ME to debug your Java programs. For information on the CodeWarrior Debugger, see the CodeWarrior IDE User Guide. For information on debugging Java projects, see the CodeWarrior Wireless Studio manual.

    Packaging Programs When developing applications, there are two situations to be aware of when packaging your applications for loading on the device. • Accessing external libraries or resources–in this situation, make sure that all the necessary libraries and resources are placed in the JAR file so that the application has access to them on the device.

    Although image files take up the correct amount on space on the “real” phone, you will encounter other problems there. On the real Motorola T720 phone an installed MIDlet requests twice as much memory as it needs so you might run into more problems.

  • Page 40: Coding Example

    MOTOCODER web site: www.motorola.com/wireless/developers. Characteristics of LWT Buttons One of the most valuable capabilities of the Motorola LWT is that it provides a toolbox of ready-made user interface (UI) components. You use these components to implement the interface to your mobile application.
  • Page 41 Coding Example This lesson demonstrates the capabilities of one LWT UI component, the Button class. The Button class provides a simple and effective way to add interactive buttons to your application’s interface. LWT buttons have the following features: • They can have different, descriptive labels. Within limits, a button automatically resizes itself to accommodate the text string that makes up the label.
  • Page 42 UI elements. Step 3: Observe the button’s behavior Click on the Motorola T720’s navigation button or use the keyboard’s arrow keys to navigate down the screen. The first click on the navigation button’s down arrow causes the small button at the top of the screen to display a small border (Figure 17). This border indicates that the button has focus, or focus ownership.
  • Page 43 Coding Example Press on the phone simulator’s End key (which represents the LWT’s Enter key) and hold it down. Watch what happens to the button (Figure 18). Release the key, and the button reverts to its normal state. Figure 18. The LWT button when the Enter key (the End button) is pressed.

  • Page 44: Roundbutton Class Code Tour

    Buttons.java in the Project window to open the file in the editor. import java.io.*; import javax.microedition.midlet.*; import javax.microedition.lcdui.*; import com.motorola.lwt.*; // The RoundButton class. Draws a round LWT button. // Inherits the rest of its capabilities (such as // key events) from the Button class.
  • Page 45 Coding Example public class RoundButton extends Button { String label; // The Button's text * Constructs a RoundButton with no label. public RoundButton() { this(""); * Constructs a RoundButton with the specified label. * @param label the label of the button public RoundButton(String label) { int x, y;...
  • Page 46 * gets the label * @see setLabel public String getLabel() { return label; * sets the label * @see getLabel public void setLabel(String label) { this.label = label; repaint(); These methods, getLabel() and setLabel(), fetch the string that represents the RoundButton’s label or sets it, respectively. The next method, paint(), contains the code that draws a round button: * paints the RoundButton public void paint(Graphics g) {...
  • Page 47 Coding Example One thing to note is that we reduce the drawing rectangle’s size by five pixels. This is so that the button and its focus border (which must be slightly larger than the button) can be drawn safely within the rectangle that comprises the actual component. If you draw outside of the component’s rectangle, a portion of the image is clipped.
  • Page 48 Finally, the code draws the button’s label. It first sets the color that’s used to draw the string, based upon the buttons’s state. That is, for the normal state, the text is set to black, otherwise, it is set to white to represent the pressed state. The getFont() method fetches the string’s typeface information.
  • Page 49 Coding Example LWT manages this for you, and as the RoundButton code shows, you merely query these state values as you paint the component. The LWT will issue a repaint request every time a component’s state changes. Because of how getPreferredWidth() and getPreferredHeight() are implemented, the button automatically sizes itself to accommodate the label’s width.

  • Page 50: Modify A Button's Characteristics

    Modify a Button’s Characteristics Let’s examine ButtonDemo’s constructor in more detail to see how LWT buttons are made, and how their visibility and screen location can be changed. Scroll through the Buttons.java file with the editor to find: // The constructor for our screen public ButtonScreen() { // First button b1 = new Button("Button");...
  • Page 51 Coding Example } // end constructor As the code shows, using an LWT button is straightforward. You use the new constructor and then the add() method to add the button to a LWT ComponentScreen. (The instance of a ComponentScreen is made in the class DemoScreen.) Making a RoundButton is no different: you use its new constructor and add it to the ComponentScreen.

  • Page 52: Modify A Button's Location

    Figure 21. The screen after the second button was made invisible and the fourth button is disabled. Step 4: Watch the change of focus ownership. Use the navigation button to traverse the focus among the enabled buttons. You’ll see that only two of the buttons receive focus ownership: the first button b1, and the second round button, b5.
  • Page 53 Coding Example Step 1: Change a button’s offset scheme Locate the code for the fifth button, b5, in the ButtonScreen’s constructor. Uncomment the statement: // b5.setLeftEdge(Component.PREVIOUS_COMPONENT_RIGHT, 0); What this statement does is offsets b5’s left edge to the right edge of the previous component, which is the round button b4.
  • Page 54 This statement has the b5 button’s top edge offset from the top edge of the preceding component, not from its bottom. The second argument can supply a pixel value to add to this offset. Since it’s zero for this example, the b5 button’s top will be aligned to the top of the button b4.
