MIDlet (MIDP Application)
• A MIDP application is called a MIDlet
• MIDlets:
– Have a well-defined lifecycle
– Provide descriptive information about themselves
– Extend
javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet
• Permanent MIDlets
– Reside, at least in part, in nonvolatile memory
such as ROM or EEPROM
– Can be downloaded and written into persistent
storage on the MID
– A user may run a permanent MIDlet repeatedly
without downloading the MIDlet again
7
MIDP User Interaction
• Designed with consumer devices in mind
• Defined in javax.microedition.lcdui package
• High-level, portable API
– Screen and widget oriented
– Applications which use this API should work on all devices
– No direct access to device features (colors, sizes, input)
– Much simpler and less powerful than AWT
• Low-level API
– Drawing primitives
– Key events
– Developers may compromise portability for better user
experience
MIDP Persistence
• Simple record-oriented database (RMS)
• Device-independent API
• Records are arrays of bytes
• Records live in record stores
• Record stores are shared within MIDlet suite
• Support for enumeration, sorting, and filtering
• Atomic update for single records
• Defined in javax.microedition.rms
package
8
MIDP IO
l
Implements the CLDC Generic
Connection framework defined in
javax.microedition.io package
l
– Requires support for opening
connections via the “http” URL
scheme (RFC 2616)
Adds HttpConnection
MIDP Utilities
• Helpful classes and interfaces
• Specified in CLDC in java.util package
– Calendar, Date, TimeZone
– Enumeration, Hashtable, Vector
– Random
– Stack
– Timer,TimerTask
9
MIDP Internationalization
ISO Latin 1 character encoding must be
supported (ISO8859-1)
Locale of device defined in
microedition.locale system property
Localization provided by implementation
Application providers provide separate
JAR files per locale with locale-specific
resources
l
l
l
l
How To Get the MIDP
Reference Implementation
l
Available from:
http://java.sun.com/products/midp
– emulator binary (Win32)
– classes and source for libraries (Java
l
& native)
– documentation (PDF and javadoc)
– sample code
Requires acceptance of the Sun
Community Source License (SCSL) another license is needed for
development, too.

4. Version Management
Application Management Software installs MIDlet onto device.
Security policy verified
Application Management Software upgrades the
MIDlet to a new version, if one is available
12
MIDP Application Lifecycle
• The MIDlet Lifecycle:
– Retrieved from server to device
– Installed on device
– Run on device (paused, active, destroyed states)
– Upgraded with new version
– Removed by user
• Device-specific application management
software performs lifecycle operations
• MIDP defines mechanisms which support the
lifecycle operations
– Jar and Jad file formats, MIDlet descriptors,
javax.microedition.midlet package API

13
MIDlet Lifecycle - Retrieval
• The MID retrieves the MIDlet from some
source.
• A medium might be identified (whether the
MID supports retrieval via a serial cable, Infra
Red Data Access (IRDA) port, or the wireless
network)
• A negotiation may occur between the MID
and the MIDlet source whereby information
on the MID’s capabilty, the size of the MIDlet
and the cost to download takes place
• A retrieval process occurs which reads the
MIDlet into the MID’s memory
MIDlet Lifecycle - Installation
l
l
l
The application management software
installs the MIDlet on the MID
The MIDP implementation may verify
that the MIDlet does not violate the
MID’s security policies.
A transformation of the MIDlet may take
place to convert the MIDlet from its
public format to a device specific format.
14
MIDlet Lifecycle - Launching
l
The user selects and launches the
MIDlet. At this point, the MIDlet enters
the VM and the lifecycle methods of the
MIDlet are invoked.
destroyApp()
startApp()
new()
Paused
destroyApp()
Active
Destroyed
pauseApp()
MIDlet Lifecycle - Version
Management
• A new version of the MIDlet may become
available after installation
• The application management software must
keep track of what MIDlets have been
installed and their version number
• Using this information the older version of the
MIDlet can be upgraded to a newer version
• MIDlet attributes, including version numbers
are contained either in the MIDlet’s descriptor
or in the manifest file that is included with the
MIDlet in its JAR file
15
MIDlet Lifecycle - Removal
l
l
The application management software
removes a previously installed MIDlet.
The application management software
deletes the installed image of the
MIDlet, and possibly related resources
such as records it has written to
persistent storage

package
16
MIDlet JAR File
• MIDlet class files and resources are deployed
in JAR files
• A JAR file may contain multiple MIDlets;
MIDlets within the same JAR file are known
as a MIDlet suite
• MIDlet suite JAR files use the standard JAR
format
• MIDP defines attributes that go into the JAR
file’s manifest
MIDlet Descriptor
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Each MIDlet JAR file may be accompanied by an application
descriptor
Allows application management software to verify that the
MIDlet suite is suitable before downloading
Also provides configuration-specific attributes
Allows for packaging multiple MIDlets (MIDlet Suite)
MIDlet descriptors are stored in .jad files
The MIME type for .jad files must be
text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor
Configuring a Browser:

MIDP User Interface:
High Level APIs
UI Programming Issues for
Mobile Information Devices
l
l
l
l
l
MIDs are resource constrained
(memory, networking, etc )
Inputs, usually one handed, voice,
touch screen, etc. are common
Extremely constrained output devices
User Profile: Consumer product
users. App should be very
straightforward
User experience should be consistent
between the native and the Java
apps.
34
User Interface design
principles
l
Usable in all devices
u Majority
of wireless devices are one hand operated
l
Keep target devices in mind
u Small
screen (tens of pixels x tens of
pixels)
u Not all devices have a pointing
device
u Drastically varying button sets.
QWERTY to ITU-9 keypads
l
Think of end users:
u Consumer
products - not computers
UI: Design considerations
35
Two layers of UI APIs in
MIDP
l
High- level API for high portability
u Applications
should run on all devices
u Applications should be usable in all devices
u No direct access to device features
n
l
Colors, screen sizes, input devices
Low- level API for applications like
games
u Drawing
primitives
u Key events
u Developers may compromise portability for
better game - experience
High-level APIs
l
l
l
l
l
High-level APIs employ a high
level of abstraction for portability
Actual drawing to the MID’s display
is performed by the implementation
Apps. don’t define visual
appearance
Navigation, scrolling, and other
interaction encapsulated by the
implementation
App. can not access concrete input
devices like specific individual keys
36
Screen based design
l
l
l
l
Central abstraction for MIDP’s UI
is a Screen
Screen encapsulates devicespecific graphic rendering and user
input
Only one screen may be visible at
a time
Screen takes care of handling all
the events as the user navigates in
a screen
3 types of Screens
l
l
l
l
Generic Screens ( class Form )
applications can populate with text and
images, and related UI components
Screens that encapsulate a UI
component (Example: List, TextBox
classes)
Screens used in Low-level APIs(
Example: Subclass of Canvas class)
A screen is made visible by calling the
setCurrent() method of Display.
The class Display acts as the display
manager
37
Class Display
l
l
l
Represents the manager of the display
and the input devices of a system
Exactly one instance of a Display
object per MIDlet. App. can get that
reference by calling getDisplay()
method
setCurrent() method used for
setting the Current Displayable
(Canvas, and Screen are
Displayable types)
l
If current Displayable is visible,
application is considered to be in the
foreground
MIDP UI Class Hierarchy:
javax.microedition.lcdui
Displayabl
e
Canvas
0-n Command
Screen
Choice
TextBox
ChoiceGroup
List
DateField
1-n
Alert
Item

38
UI and MIDlet Lifecycle
startApp()
l
method called for the first
screen if it has not already been called
u Application Management Software makes
Displayable visible when startApp() returns
u Can be called multiple times. So, no
Initialization should take place
u SetCurrent()
pauseApp()
l
u App
can resume with another screen, when
it is reactivated.
u New screen is set using setCurrent()
method
destroyApp()
l
u App
frees its resources including UI
components
Programming for MIDs: Key
points
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
Every byte counts
Don’t string String concats. Use
StringBuffer instead
Less Hashtable/Vectors
Reuse Buttons, and other resources
Use Code packer/obfuscator
Recycle objects
Keep track of memory
u Use
l
Runtime.getRuntime.get…()
Use any utility you may have to
optimize the heap size
39
HelloMIDlet.java with UI
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
public class HelloMIDlet extends MIDlet {
private Display display; // Display for
MIDlet
public HelloMIDlet() {
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
}
public void startApp() {
TextBox t = new TextBox("Hello MIDlet",
"Hello J2MECamp!", 256, 0);
display.setCurrent(t);
}
public void pauseApp() {
}
public void destroyApp(boolean
unconditional){}
}
Command
l
l
Objects that help in MIDlet event handling.
CommandListener attached to a command
does the actual work
l
Applied to a screen or Canvas with
addCommand()
Command class has 3 parameters
u Label: Shown to the user as hint
u CommandType: Meaning of the command
n Allows the MIDP implementation to
select these
n SCREEN, BACK, HELP, OK, CANCEL,
STOP
u Priority: Priority of one command over the
other in the same UI context
u commandAction( Command c, Screen s )
l
40
Command examples
l
If an implementation has 2 soft
buttons, the following set of code
will result as shown below
new Command( “Buy”, Command.Screen,
1);
new Command( “Info”, Command.Screen,
1);
new Command( “Back”, Command.Back,
1);
Pressing "options"
opens a menu
Command examples (Contd)
l
If another implementation had 3
soft buttons, the same code in the
previous slide will result in screens
as shown below
41
HelloMIDlet.java with Events
public class HelloMIDlet extends MIDlet implements
CommandListener {
private Command exitCommand; // The exit command
private Display display;
// Display for this
MIDlet
public HelloMIDlet() {
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
exitCommand = new Command("Exit",
Command.EXIT, 2);
}
public void startApp() {
TextBox t= new TextBox("Hello","Hello
Camp",256,0);
t.addCommand(exitCommand);
t.setCommandListener(this);
// CommandAction
code shown in the next slide
display.setCurrent(t);
}
HelloMIDlet.java (contd)
public void commandAction(Command c,
Displayable s){
if (c == exitCommand) {
destroyApp(false);
notifyDestroyed();
}
}
public void pauseApp() { }
public void DestroyApp( boolean conditional ) {
}
}

Demo of MIDlet with High level
UI APIs and Events
MIDP User Interface:
Low Level APIs
43
Low-level APIs
l
l
l
l
l
Low-level APIs, unlike the High-level
APIs provide very little abstraction
API set designed for applications that
need placement and control of graphic
elements
Provides access to low-level input
events
Apps using Low-level APIs can have full
control of what is drawn on the display
These applications are not guaranteed
to be portable
Canvas
l
l
l
Base class for writing applications using
Low-level APIs. Subclass of
Displayable
Application can mix and match Canvas
with a High level screen as needed
Provides developers with methods to
u Handle
game actions, key events, etc.
u Obtain device capabilities and keyboard
mapping
l
Like other subclass of Displayable,
allows applications to register a listener
for commands
44
Canvas class methods
l
paint() method is declared
abstract Applications must provide
implementation
l
l
l
l
Default implementation for other event
reporting methods are empty
Every key for which events are reported
is assigned a keyCode
Game Application should use game
actions
Applications can translate a keyCode to
a game action using
getGameAction( int keyCode )
Key Events
l
MIDP defines the following Keys
u KEY_NUM0,
KEY_NUM1, KEY_NUM2,
KEY_NUM3, KEY_NUM4, KEY_NUM5,
KEY_NUM6, KEY_NUM7, KEY_NUM8,
KEY_NUM9, KEY_STAR, KEY_POUND
l
l
Devices may notify applications about
other keys as well, but applications
relying on those are not portable
Abstract game events
u Actions
that the device can map either to 4way scrolling keys or to numeric keys
u UP, DOWN, RIGHT, LEFT, FIRE,
GAME_A, GAME_B, GAME_C, GAME_D,
etc.
45
Mapping game actions
Canvas Event Delivery
l
Canvas delivers the following methods
for event delivery. Called serially in the
order below:
u showNotify()
u hideNotify()
u keyPressed()
u keyRepeated()
u keyReleased()
u pointerPressed()
u pointerDragged()
u pointerReleased()
u paint()
u The
CommandListener's
commandAction()

Contents of
javax.microedition.rms
• RecordStore
– A collection of records
• RecordComparator
– Compares two records in an implementation
dependent manner to see if they match
• RecordEnumeration
– A birectional RecordStore enumerator
• RecordFilter
– Defines filter to specify matching criteria
• RecordListener
– Listener for Record changed/deleted/added
events
RecordStore Operations
• Open a record store, optionally create if it
doesn’t exist
– openRecordStore(name, create)
• Remove a record store, deleting all its
records
– DeleteRecordStore(name)
• Get the names of all record stores known to
the MIDlet suite
– listRecordStores()
52
Record Access
• Add a record to the record store
– addRecord(byte[] data, int offset,
int numBytes)
• Replace the contents of a record
– setRecord(int recordId, byte[]
newData, int offset, int numBytes)
• Delete a record
– deleteRecord(int recordId)
• Retrieve a record
– getRecord(int recordId)
– getRecord(int recordId, byte[]
buffer, int offset)
Enumerating Records
•
•
•
•
•
RecordStore has a method for enumerating records which
returns a RecordEnumeration object
– EnumerateRecords(RecordFilter rf,
RecordComparator rc, boolean keepUpdated)
RecordFilter is an interface with one method,
– boolean matches(byte[] candidate)
RecordComparator is an interface with one method,
– int compare(byte[] rec1, byte[] rec2)
The RecordEnumeration returns all records for which the filter
returns true, in the order defined by the RecordComparator.
The keepUpdated parameter to enumerateRecords tells
whether the enumeration has to keep track of inserts and
deletes that happen while the enumeration is open
53
Record Change Tracking
• Get the time the record store was modified
– getLastModified()
• Each insert, update, delete increments a
version counter
– GetVersion()
• Register a listener to be notified of insert,
delete, update events
– addRecordListener(RecordListene
r)

Original Vision and Goal
Make handheld devices more useful in an
enterprise setting. Better integration with
Intranet (currently non-existent or
insecure).
Guiding goal: mobile access to Sun's
enterprise portal for remote access.
Requires several components - local apps
on mobile device, appropriate content
generation, secure transport
Research Challenge: Can we effectively
reuse popular security standards from the
wired world?

WAP's "wireless is different" philosophy:

Proxy-based Architecture
A proxy inserted between mobile device
and content server performs protocol
conversions, e.g. WAP, Palm.net
All communication forced through service
provider's (single, pre-programmed)

Concerns:
t Scalability: single choke point, no end-toend flow control
t Legal: antitrust issues

Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
l
l
l
By far, the dominant security protocol on
the web (https=http over ssl)
Deserves full credit for the emergence of ecommerce and other security sensitive
services on the web (banking, stock
trading)
Both the protocol and its implementation
have benefited from several years of public
scrutiny.
65
SSL Overview
l
l
l
Operates on top of a bi-directional, reliable
byte stream (in order delivery without
duplication or loss). Typically this is
provided by TCP.
Offers end-to-end security even when the
underlying reliable byte stream is proxied.
An HTTPS proxy is not privy to information
exchanged (acts as a TCP relay).
Has seen several revisions - SSLv2.0,
SSLv3.0, SSLv3.1 (aka TLSv1.0). Most
clients/servers support multiple versions.
SSL's Layered Architecture
66
Common Thinking (Re: SSL
for Small Devices)
l
l
l
l
Too heavyweight for ``weak'' CPUs (by
PC/Workstation standards) and lowbandwidth, high latency wireless networks.
RSA operations used in key exchange are
of special concern.
Handshake is chatty and involves long
messages (particularly X.509 certificates).
SSL memory requirements, both static and
runtime, believed to be high
Unfortunately, these hadn't been quantified
But Consider This ...
l
Some constraints ease others, e.g. CPU only
needs to be fast enough for bulk encryption/MAC
computation at (low) network speeds.
l
RSA operations typically required at an SSL
client are quick, even compared to ECC
t Fast hardware implementations available on
smartcards. RSA now in public domain.
l
There are several opportunities to amortize
the cost of expensive operations by reusing
their results multiple times.

XML Parsers are available for the J2ME
Platform
XML access is popular/desirable for MIDP
applications
HTTP access from MIDP enable XML access
Issues/compromises should consider the
amount of XML data to be parsed. If it is high,
parsing XML on the server side is a valid
alternative
Case study included a look at kxml parser

J2ME: Key points
l
l
Java 2 Micro Edition addresses the
need for an elegant High Level
language and common set of APIs for
resource constrained devices
Defines Configurations
u Configurations
define minimum Java™
technology libraries and virtual machine
capabilities available on a broad range of
devices in all areas
l
Defines Profiles
u Specification
that details the Java
technology APIs, built on top of and
utilizing the underlying Java [Platform]
Edition, necessary to provide a complete
runtime environment for a specific kind of
device
CLDC: Key points
l
l
CLDC is base technology that defines the core
virtual machine features and libraries for small
devices
KVM/JVM differences
u No floating point support
u No user-defined class loaders
u No JNI, weak references, finalization, reflection
u Limited error handling support
l
New security model in CLDC
u Low Level VM security (external/in-device verifier)
u Application security through sandbox model
l
l
New Generic Connection Framework
Profiles must implement specific features
108
MIDP: Key points
l
l
Designed to work on top of CLDC
MIDP defines the following set of class
libraries
javax.microedition.midlet
u javax.microedition.lcdui
u javax.microedition.rms
u javax.microedition.io
u java.lang and java.util
u
l
What is NOT in MIDP Scope
How an application actually gets on the device
u End-to-end security model
u System or OEM specific application needs
u Any particular implementation
u
Programming for small
devices: Key points
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
Every byte counts
Don’t string String concats. Use
StringBuffer instead
Less Hashtable/Vectors
Reuse Buttons, and other resources
Use Code packer/obfuscator
Recycle objects
Keep track of memory
u
l
Use Runtime.getRuntime.get…()
Use any utility you may have to optimize
the heap size
