- MIDP GUI Programming, Part 1
- User interface requirements for handheld devices are different from those for desktop computers. For example, the display size of handheld devices is smaller, and input devices do not always include pointing tools such as a mouse or pen input. For these reasons, one cannot follow the same user-interface programming guidelines...

- Getting Started With the MIDP 2.0 Game API
- The javax.microedition.lcdui.game Package Version 1.0 of the Mobile Information Device Profile MIDP lacked advanced graphical features, and as a result provided limited support for game programming. Some of the device vendors responded to these limitations by adding additional proprietary classes, but using such APIs reduces code portability. MIDP 2.0 has...

- Text Wrapping in MIDP
- This paper provides some hints and guidelines on handling text wrapping in MIDP. When long pieces of text are displayed on the small screens of cell phones and other small devices, they often "wrap to the next line," and this behavior can reduce the usability of wireless Java applications. Differences...
