Overview
This document lists the various tools and tips for working with the Nokia phones.
Development
Tools
To build, debug and deploy applications on the Nokia phones, you must have first install (in this order) the following:
- J2SE v1.4.2_13 SDK -- Make sure Eclipse uses Java 1.4 to build or emulation will fail.
- Eclipse 3.2.1 -- Eclipse will crash, save your work frequently.
- Carbide.j 1.5 -- Get the SN from forum.nokia.com
- Nokia PC Suite 6.80.21 -- Comes with Carbide.J. Newer versions will break deployment.
- S60 3rd Ed SDK for MIDP -- Only needed for on-device debugging (BT,WiFi)
Tips
Make sure your JRE and compiled in Eclipse are set to 1.4. If you don't your emulator won't work and your apps won't work on the phone.
If the Nokia is running as a Bluetooth client, it has to do a device inquiry, it does not support connecting to a known service on a known device. This is a limitation of the implementation of JavaME on the phones.
JavaME apps cannot run as a background process. They can be put into the background through a PushRegistry command that essentially stops them. They can then be restarted via a timer or incoming network process. True background apps can only be done in Symbian.
