HOWTO start MIDP Application development - some questions ..

Hey guys,
Currently I am Java programmer (applications and applets for PCs), but I want to try something new, and so I am instersted in developing apps for cellphones. Hope you can answer my questions:
1) MIDP 2.0 does support animated gifs and allows me to access the phones memory (for loading files) when the phone supports this, right? Whats the name of the API that allows me to access the phones memory?
2) Whats the best free development platform for MIDP 2.0 at the moment? Currently I use Eclipse, but I guess I need something else for mobile development.
3) Are there any websites with tutorials that give me a lil introduction to MIDP? Any links are welcome.

Just started to look at this myself, though not fully understanding it yet, managed to get a MIDP helloworld class compiled and .jar created just using javac / command line so far, but haven't managed to get it working on the device yet, need to look into preverifying so i'm told.
2) J2ME toolkit perhaps, free with registration on java.sun.com, explanation of it is in the link in reply (3), might be worth a look first to see if it's what you're after.
3) http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/ce/networking/article.php/c7911/
If anyone has any further info, please respond.

I "think" the Bluetooth stack for WM devices is incorporated into the ROM so can't be downloaded and installed seperately. Do correct me if I am wrong.

I don't think so, because.. Dell Axim phones can download it and install it on theire devices through the aximsite.

make a search in Development and Hacking
for widcomm or broadcom
you'll get some hits with some links

since your application is Universal-specific, also try the same search (Widcom or Broadcom) in the Universal forum. While you are looking, pay special attention to information from Menneisyys. He's about as up to date as anyone on BlueTooth issues.
Hope that helps!

Building itsutils.dll from source

(This thread is cross-posted to the Q&A forum)
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build the XDA utils tree and itsutils.dll from source in order to play around with it a bit, but have had no luck so far. I've searched through all the forums, but couldn't find anything about building the toolset, only how to develop for actual mobile devices.
I got the source tree for the xda utils project, but the instructions on how to build them (here) are not very clear. What software do I need to have installed? Which libraries? Do I need to install an embedded version of the STL? Where can I find the "preview editions" of Platform Builder 3.0 and 4.0 in order to get the header files?
I'm running Windows XP 32-bit (I also have a 64-bit machine, though I doubt that'll make it any easier), and have installed VS 2005, the Windows Mobile 6 SDK, and eMbedded VC 4.0.
I'd really appreciate any advice or help.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

[HELP] Analysis tools that detect common bugs in Android app development

Hi folks!!! I need your help!
I am looking for analysis tools specific for Android that detect and solve common bugs that may happen during app development!
I have found many tools online that are not specific for Android, only for Java, either free or commercial, like the famous FindBugs but it is not interprocedural so for example it loses several bad NullPointerExceptions that may occur at runtime! Some powerful tools are not suitable for Android app development
What are, among the available tools, those that you prefer and really use?
What kind of properties do these tools check?
What kind of bugs do these tools detect and remove (among the most common errors that an Android developer may do)?
Please help me with sharing your experiences and suggestions, any help would be appreciated!!!!
Thanks!

Up!!:good:
No one is using tools like FindBugs or similar during Android app development?
