Create better content for mainstream phones with LWUIT 1.4!

By Jacob Lehrbaum on Aug 09, 2010

The Lightweight User Interface Toolkit (LWUIT) is a small-footprint user interface library that helps developers create better looking and more consistent Java ME applications. LWUIT supports visual components and other advanced UI features such as 3D graphics, animations, transitions, touch input, themes and more.

Key features for the new 1.4 release include:
  • XHTML Component - LWUIT 1.4 enables rendering of HTML documents that conform to the XHTML Mobile Profile 1.0 (XHTML-MP 1.0) standard. This component enables rendering of  HTML text embedded locally and web content accessed remotely from within the application - making it easy for Java ME developers to add rich and dynamic content to their applications
  • BlackBerry support - With the new LWUIT binaries for Blackberry OS, developing for a BlackBerry device is now simple and easy.
  • Enhancements to the Virtual keyboard - The virtual keyboard included with LWUIT can be easily used within Java ME applications. The enhancements include the ability to customize the look and feel of the virtual keyboard, the ability to add new language support, and the ability to bind it to a text field to improve user experience
  • New UI Controls - includes components such as Tree, Table, Buttons, List, etc. inspired by Swing
Please visit the LWUIT page on the Oracle Technology Network for more information

Java ME enables Opera Mini to serve 1 billion pages... per day!

By Jacob Lehrbaum on Jul 30, 2010

In a press release issued today, Opera has announced that over a billion pages are being viewed every day using their Java ME-based Opera Mini browser.  This is a staggering number!  Opera Mini uses a unique server-side compression to reduce data-traffic by up to 90% to improve the user's experience in browsing web-content from their Java ME devices as well as to reduce cost for consumers that might not be using an unlimited data plan. 

This latest milestone represents a growth factor of 10x from a previous milestone of 100 million daily page views back in June 2008.  Congratulations to Opera for hitting this amazing achievement.  Oh, and did we mention that its free?!  If you already have a browser on your phone you can navigate over to m.opera.com or you can visit our friends over at GetJar who have facilitated over 35 million downloads of Opera Mini as of this date.

GetJar Surpasses One Billion Downloads

By Jacob Lehrbaum on Jul 12, 2010

Congratulations to the team over at GetJar, whose application store recently surpassed the one billion downloads mark.  A recent report from VisionMobile named GetJar as the top distributor of Java ME applications, so its great to see them growing their business and providing such a powerful distribution channel for Java ME developers. 

With the rate at which they have been seeing their downloads accelerating, it would not be surprising for us to be celebrating their 2nd billion in relatively short order.  Any bets?
