Question:
I want to develop a MIDlet for the UIQ based Sony Ericsson P800. How should I go about this?

Answer:
Develop your MIDlet using your favourite J2ME compliant development environment. Both Borland's JBuilder MobileSet and SunOne Studio Mobile Edition come bundled with Sun's J2ME Wireless Toolkit 1.04 (check out http://www.symbian.com/developer/tools.html). In addition there is a Sony Ericsson P800 emulator plug in for the Wireless Toolkit (see FAQ 0855).

You can use this to develop your code since UIQ have added no proprietary APIs to the MIDP-1.0 implementation.

For final testing use the UIQ emulator provided with the UIQ SDK (check out http://www.symbian.com/developer/SDKs.html - NB when installing the UIQ SDK, ensure that you enable the Java MIDP installation option).

Install your MIDlet JAR file as follows:

Copy the MIDlet JAR file to the \epoc32\winscw\c directory. Launch the emulator using \epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\epoc.exe
Select the "Launcher" option from the menu bar.
Select "Install" and follow the instructions.

The MIDlet icon should now appear on in the Application Launcher view.
Launch the MIDlet by clicking on its icon
