[Visual Studio 2008] How to convert a desktop app to Smart Device ? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello,
I am currently developing a new app for Windows Mobile. It is using different pieces of open source code that I Grab here and there.
This app is not yet finnished, but a lot of things are working fine on my PC.
Before continuing I would like to give it a try on the PPC emulator.
I thought I would easily find a way to convert the whole project to "smart device", but didn't find !
How to do that ? do yuou know the trick ?
Thanks for your help,

Impossible. But you can find a nice article on MSDN about this.

.Net isn't meant to be a cross plateform tool ?????

if you wanna make programs for Smart Devise go and program in JAVA

The .Net Compact Framework (used for Windows Mobile) just supports a subset of the features that are implemented in the full .Net Framework.

It is meant to be a cross platform framework. But as mentioned above, the .NETCF supports a subset of the .NET Framework.
You're able to build an application which can run on both applications, but then you're limited to the .NETCF.
Converting is possible, by hand. Not automatically. Try to open the solution and copy/paste parts from your desktop-application to a device-application.

[wm5] IBM J9 Java

Attached: IBM J9 Java (weme-wm50-arm-midp20_6.1.0.20060727-102926)
Packed as CAB (no need to copy files manually), with *.jad and *.jar associations.
Files:
install.pdf from IBM - how to install (not needed), how to use.
J9_full 6.1.0.20060727-102926.CAB - full installation - Java Virtual Machine, Midlet manager, Midlet runner, libraries. Size after install - 3.4Mb
J9_tiny 6.1.0.20060727-102926.CAB - simplified installation. Without Java Virtual Machine (probably you don't need), without debugging support (probably you don't need), without eastern languages support (sorry, they are too big for me). Only Midlet manager, Midlet runner, libraries. Installs automatically into main storage. Size after install - 2.3Mb
thanks for this. I had the WM2003 version and was annoying not being able to use the soft buttons in the Midlet Manager
ibm-weme-wm50-sp-arm-midp20-6.1.0
Is there any chance someone could also post the smartphone installer?
thanks man... that help me.
Just an FYI. I still can not see JPEG sattelite imagery in google maps. the wm2003 version let me but not this version or the built in intent java.
is there a chance that this version support internet over proxy settings. lixe vor o2 wap flat. i canĀ“t find find reg settings like for the built in midletmanager on my hermes.

Did you install the full version?
I tried the tiny version first, then the full version and it didn't make a difference
Can you redo the cab so when we install it, we have choice to where we want to install it? I want ot install it into my storage card. Thanks!
Also, anyone having problems getting the shortcut parameters "-xjam:run=1" to work? I had it working w/ the older version of the Java. This automatically runs the first program in the menu, which makes it more convenient than having to manually choose it.
Thank-you
Yes thank-you that helped me too.
Hi
Sorry for my supid question but : what is the difference with this one and the midlet manager already installed on HTC devices ? Is it a version for developpers ?
Cheers.
Sorry. I was off line.

As I can see - this version doesn't support soft buttons too.

Probably - you will not see any differences. Me too
In my opinion: IBM Java for Linux is the best of the best. I believe that IBM knows everything about Java. I believe, that J9 is the best of the best too
But probably midlets are not too complicated to see any differences between Java Virtual Machines

J9 gave me nothing compared with Intent.
In fact, I find it panifully slow compared to the former one. For example, it takes almost 25 seconds for MGMaps to load a screen with J9, 8 to 10 seconds for Intent...
How about 3D?
How about the new version 6.1.1 ??

No 3D support at all. And, for that matter, no for example Nokia support either.

Here ya' go. Install to the device, not the storage card.
Next time please search for your needs before posting.
ThankU.
I'm having file upload problems at the moment. Anywhere you see my name (in blue) click on it, then click on find all posts made by me. You should find the cab file where I posted in previous threads.

Well, actually, it's the WM5-only CAB file of the very first version (after that, two Service Packs have been released; the latest can be found at http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/CF2SP2/ for both WM5+ and WM2003(SE)). Completely useless on a PPC2k2 device.
CF2, in general, isn't compatible with PPC2k2 at all. There MIGHT be hacks that made it work on WinCE 3.0-based devices but I don't know of any of them.
Thank for all.
For reason, I created 1st "Hello world" in vs2005 and debug & deploy it in to ppc2002 device but vs2005 show alert "Can't not deploy to your device, It not supported"
.....
Sorry my English so bad.

Try compiling it for CF1.
I know this sounds very rude and I apologize in advance but I just can't stop my self from saying it:
Try using a real programing language
Seriously though, VS 2005 is not a good tool if you want to develop for devices as old as those based on PPC 2002.
It doesn't even recognize the SDK for that platform.
That among other things means you will have to deploy manually and will not be able to use any of the remote tools including the debugger.
Plus, having to install CF 1 is not too pleasant for the users of these devices because it takes up quite a lot of precious RAM memory.
Personally I would recommend using eMbedded Visual C 3 (not 4!) for that particular platform.
If you do not know C/C++ you could try eMbedded VB (comes in same package as EVC 3).

[Q] I want to start coding some Android applications. Where to start from? Guides?

I've only studied pseudocode for only 2 years. And I want to learn how to code android apps. I downloaded the SDK. Installed the platform-tools and the API10 needed for the 2.3.3. I made a virtual device, but I get an error:
invalid command-line parameter: Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe.
Hint: use '@foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
please use -help for more information
Also, I would like to ask for some links to learn how to code. Obviously, coding an Android application isn't ONLY done on Java, but C, C++ and some visual coding apps. So any help for your fellow Android friend? ^^;;
Hi,
How are you trying to launch the emulator? from SDK Manager or Eclipse?
In case you are trying to launch from Eclipse it seems like you SDK location is set incorrectly. Try changing Window->Preferences->Android->SDK location to:
c:\Progra~1\Android\android-sdk

Development is done mainly in Java using the SDK.
You can use the NDK and code in C++ but I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner.
Start with learning OOP in general, then learn Java, then read Android's developers guide. After that it really depends on what your app should do (e.g. for 2D games development learn AndEngine).
I don't have any links to offer. Just google it
Hello and thanks for the reply! No, I'm using the SDK. Fortunately, I found out what was going on and moved the folder From C:\Programs\ to C:\ That did the trick.
And finally, I made that virtual machine. And all I see is... an Android OS... How do I make an app now...? Seeing the Android OS doesn't help me... xD

Running an emulator won't teach you how to program
The emulator is just for running Android OS on your PC so you could test your applications even without a real device.
Be sure to follow all steps in http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
They will guide you how to set up Eclipse IDE for android development.
After actually learning how to program in Java, follow http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
