MIDP 1.0 and MIDP 2.0

Submitted by sugree on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 22:49

I'm trying to fix several problem occurred in jibjib when running on some phone models especially Nokia. It seems like the problem actually is the standard implemented in each model. During implementation of jibjib, I tried my best to make it as simple as possible so jibjib only needs CLDC 1.0 and MIDP 1.0 and it should run on any java-enabled phones. Anyway, I am totally wrong. Even if the phone specification claims to support MIDP 2.0, it does not mean to support MIDP 1.0.

My phone, Sony Ericsson W810i supports both MIDP 1.0 and MIDP 2.0 so I have never noticed this problem. However, in most Nokia phones, they only support MIDP-2.0. Anyway, I am confusing right now. It is not easy to find full technical specification. Below are what I found. I am not sure about accuracy. I am thinking to change jibjib to CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.0.

I use Jibjib on Nokia N70-1 it supported both MIDP1.0 and MIDP2.0.

I also plan to port my some applications to MIDP 2.0. I want them to run on MIDP 1 but I couldn't find a way to launch the phone's browser like platormRequest in MIDP 2.0. Also in some Nokia phones they have problem too, but I think mostly about size. Some Nokia phones has max jar size 1 MB.
