“We chose LWUIT because of the platform’s ability to support cross-platform and cross-device deployment. We’ve found that LWUI T is written in such a way that it’s also very easy to adapt to other devices,” says Avram.

In addition, LWUIT’s features and capabilities go beyond simply enabling cross-platform and cross-device deployment.

“Some of the advantages of LWUI T include being able to main-
tain a consistent and graphically rich user interface or look and
feel across different mobile phone platforms. It also allows you to
maintain the conventions of each platform, while still maintaining
consistency across different platforms,” says Avram. “It also
enables us to implement things like rich graphics, clear textural
rendering for devices of different screen resolutions, and different
resource profiles.”
That’s understandably important for Telmap’s operator partners
who are deploying their applications across a wide variety of devices.
They need applications to be recognizable and look the same for all of
their subscribers, regardless of the hardware handset.

“By tuning LWUI T, we’re able to run our applications on very low-level and midlevel phones,” says Avram. “With LWUIT we’re able to bring a smartphone look and feel to much more basic phones.”

A JAVA-ENABLED FU TURE

The world is quickly moving to a connected device model, where just about everything we touch, use, or purchase may be connected to other devices or the internet in some way. And Java ME is one of the key components enabling organizations of all sizes to create reliable cross-platform applications that can be deployed on an ever-changing range of mobile and embedded hardware devices. 
