Dear All,
I have developed my first PocketPC game (see attached). It is similar to Master Mind but using numbers. This is the way we play it in Iraq
I would like some help in making an installation that automatically create a shortcut in Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games. I am planning to publish the game as a freeware.
I am using VB .NET 2005 (.NET FX 2.0) so if I can include the re-distribution libraries that would make it easier for users, else I may need to point them at a link.
I used 2 different installtion builders but both only copy the CAB file to the Program Files but not make a shortcut for it. I have an *.inf file and haven't used the command line setup builder yet unless I have to.
Any easier way please?
ThanQ.
I really want to use a name picker (randomly picks a name from a pre-defined list)
Google reveals this java version is exactly what I need for a desktop
Is there any way I can use it on the pocket pc (does not work in midlet manager)

You normally need a jar version of the program to work with midlet manager - best you do a search for a jar version.
The author kindly sent me his JAR file for this app. I have placed it onto my device but cannot open it
Is it incompatable or am I making a silly mistake
Thanks

Is that the zip he sent you or did you send you a jar file? Even when i rename it namepicker.jar it wont install, i am sure there is something wrong with the file.

he sent this text in his email
The jar file is here, but it probably isn't set up the way you need it:

I downloaded it but can't get it working
yep - still says invalid - contact the author again he must have a valid jar that works
will do
thanks for your help
the author replied
"invalid" in what context? It's valid in the context in which you've been
running it on your PC or whatever. Maybe it lacks a manifest file or
something. There are free tool to extract and rebuild jar files.
The message it gives is that it has an 'invalid java application desciptor' i.e. the jad part of the jar is wrong.
just a guess, but its probably made for jave for desktops, not j2me.
OMG. The Java that is written is for PC (or eqv) Java not for Java for phone (eg. midlet). That's why it doesn't run. Midlet is a very small subset of the real Java, the code is different, and there isn't much function in midlet version of java, and it is a pain to program in midlet-java (whatever you call it). Hence the JAR is not working. Try running it on your PC, it will work.
No, you can't extract it and run it on your midlet-enabled phone. No, even if you have the source, you can't do that either, unless you translate the code manually. I don't think there is a converter for that matter, especially it involved GUI.
That explains it
Anyone up for the challenge of writing a good pocket pc version ??

Try this one...
This is an OSS JVM that's meant to be J2SE compliant so it might just run. Try your luck.
Hi there...
I have embarked upon the developement of a slimserver client for the pocket pc using c#. There is no decent one around that I know of!
Anyway, it is going to be open sourced, and I have already implemented the use of the CLI interface. however, I am a bit stuck with the XML one. I have attached the relevant sources! The problem is that when it runs through the emulator, it is unable to deserialise a slimserver xml file and returns a NotSupported Exception (I have attached a sample xml file). I generated a c# class library for slimserver's xml schema using xsd.exe.
The funny thing is that when I run the compiled .exe file in windows (without the emulator), it runs smoothly, and deserialises it perfectly! It also works when compiled for a normal desktop application!
Could someone help please?
So i'm not familiar with creating programs at all.
I can create cabs using WinCE Cab manager that can add/edit/move/rename files and registry entries.
I found a cab and i want to know exactly what it does before i install it. I asked the author and he keeps dodging my request. I opened up the cab with WinCE Cab Manager and it installed a file (exe) and created a shortcut.
I've extracted that exe from the cab and now i want to know whats the next step i take.
I've googled and come up with 2 microsoft sites about programming for windows mobile. One utilizes .net the other visual studio.
I'm probably gonna need visual studio right? I'm having trouble downloading a trial right now from microsofts site but is my assumption correct that i'll need to use visual studio?
Any pointers would be great.
Sorry,
Wrong post.
Dear admin, please remove this post.
Thanks.
I'm just starting in my attempt to develop apps for Android, and am starting by learning Java. I have downloaded the Headfirst Java textbook along with JDK and Eclipse. However, I can still not open the .class and .java extension files needed for the textbook. Perhaps I did something wrong? What exactly is supposed to open those files? I am running Windows 8 and have not figured this out. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

.class is a compiled executable, just like exe why you need to see the content of it, .class is meant to be executed. just do java <yourclass_name> and press enter. in CMD prompt. it will run.
as you said you had installed eclipse/JDK?, then to open java file it is an editor.
Are you facing anything else ?

Eclipse can be kinda funky if you haven't got your classpath set up correctly. Try installing Intellij IDEA and opening the .java files in that, compiling then running.
If you have a hard time installing JDK
Try goormIDE
You can easily build a development environment with a cloud IDE service that provides docker-based containers.
