Java idle start S40

[Artturi3]

Hello,

is there a way that java app could be started from phone main screen icon (idle)? Are there any way that for example S40 V3 f2 of V5 phones would be able to do that? Maybe using flash or screensaver or symbian?

Not sure if this is what you are asking but yes, you can add you MIDlet as an application in the active idle.

Settings->Display->Active standby->Personalize view
when the selection is on Shortcut bar select Options->Select Shortcuts
and select you apps

Yep, this is almost what I'm looking for, but how to make this automated? If you have this app for example pre installed in MMC and you insert it to phone. Or download it via browser. Is there possibility somohow to put it to idle screen available? Or if this is not possible with Java, is that possible to do with Symbian? or can Symbian based applications launch Java applications? Many questions but any info would be good. Thanks

With j2me apps, there is no way to automate this process. About the possibility to do this via C++, I'm not able to give you an answer, but it should probably be possible.

About launching midlets from C++ apps, there are many different proposed solutions, depending on different editions of S60:
