avoid multiple versions of the same application on the phone

[pengox]

Hi

whenever I upload a new version, of the application that I currently develop, the old version stays on the phone and I have my application a second, third ... time on my phone.
The .Jar file always has the same name and the main class is the same, too.
On SonyEricsson or Motorla phones the newest version always overwrites the older version (after asking). How can I accomplish this on Nokia phones?

Thanks in advance
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

"The .Jar file always has the same name and the main class is the same, too."
You should check the MIDlet-Version (mandatory in JAD, optional in manifest) attribute.

"On SonyEricsson or Motorla phones the newest version always overwrites the older version (after asking). How can I accomplish this on Nokia phones?"
Overwriting is the standard behavior of Nokia as well provided that you are doing it right.

Hope this helps!

pengox, are you using Nokia Series 40 3rd Edition and Bluetooth OBEX Push for transferring your MIDlet? Yepp, that is complete chaos. Does it happen over HTTP, too?

[pengox]

@traud - yes the Problem only occurs on S40 3rd. Edition.
Add it happens over HTTP.

Is there any solution to the problem?

check the string

MIDlet-Name: <Application Name>

inside the manifest file and inside .jad file (if you're using .jad to install your application)

Make it sure <Application Name> is always the same throughout all versions of your application.

Add it happens over HTTP.

Delete all versions and download your application from a HTTP server, then download a new version from a HTTP server. Does this cause the same problem?
