Feeling rather envious of programmers with more recent machines
(I was almost tempted to buy a Zaurus! LOL
) I was ploughing a lonely furrow looking for possible GUI development ideas for CE2.0 AND ostensibly without much success
... Then, in a discount bookshop, I came across
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0471390658.02.LZZZZZZZ.gif Apparently this is almost HISTORIC literature!
But seriously folks, Whereas I do a bit of Java programming, J2ME didn't fire my imagination overmuch - at least for WinCE 2.0. But interestingly M. Giguere mentions a speedier alternative to Java, called WABA...
http://www.wabasoft.com/ Anyway, to cut a long story short, the thing does appear to WORK on my MC12/HP320.
(Hey, it prints out "Hello World" in a window!
) Clearly it isn't exactly
(Java
) "Swing" but does offers some basic GUI capabilities...
FWIW, I "developed" it on linux
(Waba includes classes for the Standard Java 1.4 SDK
) and used WinME for creating the "executables" via the Waba utilities.
(I'm working on AVOIDING WinME tho'!
) Aside: There are also now things called "SuperWaba"
(for WinCE 2.11 plus?
) and... "Ewe" which might be worth a google search too. Hey, some of these look quite cool - Anyone familiar with any of them? Just a thought anyway...
