Setting up development environment

[kalkar.prashant@gmail.com]

I am new to Mobile development.
I need to develop following application

Invoke a MIDlet on SMS arrival on some port (e.g 5000) using PushRegistry. The MIDlet will read the SMS and update the contact database.

I need to setup the development environments that will support following features

1. OTA installation of the MIDlet.
2. Sending SMS to the emulator on a specific port, so that the installed MIDlet will get executed on the SMS arival.

I want to use the Series 40 development platform SDK.

Please tell me how should I setup my development environment (which softwares that need to be downloaded) and how to use the above features.

I have development the program using WTK, but want to use Nokia S40 SDK.

Prashant

Hey Prashant, can u specify which IDE u r using.

[kalkar.prashant@gmail.com]

I would like to use Eclipse. Though you can suggest me other good IDEs for mobile development.

Hi,

I setup the development environment in the following way

1. I install JRE 5
2. Installed Eclipse 3.2.1
3. Installed Carbide.j 1.5 (for eclipse integration)
4. Installed Series 40 Platform 3rd Edition Feature pack 2.

Now I am able to develop the application.

But I still don't know how can I send SMS to the emulator on some perticular port. (So my MIDlet will get invoked, as that port is registered using PushRegistry).

I know we can send the SMS using two emulator instances, by making one as sender and one as receiver. But there is no way to specify the port number while sending the SMS.

Can anyone told me where to specify port number while sending the SMS?

Please help me.

Regards,

hi, use utilities of wtk. u can find it from start menu, open Utilities then select, WMA Open Console of it. In console there is option for send sms, and u can specify port value in that.

Hi,

I have already tested my application on WTK. The WTK's WMA console does provide the facility to send SMS to perticular port.

But the WMA console only work with the WTK's default emulators.

I tried to use the Nokia S40 plateform SDK emulator by installing it under the devices, but when I run the MIDlet on emulator and open the WMA console

to send the SMS to the emulator. The Nokia emulator does not get listed in the WMA console clients. I even tried to send the SMS to the emulator by manually

giving the device number by using 'unlisted client' button.

But I am unable to send SMS to the Nokia emulator using the WMA console.

Please help.

well one simple thing that you can do is to make a small sms sending app, in which u can specify the port number and the phone number of other emulator. Now u can run this on one emulator and recieve the required sms on other emulator, at the specific port.

well till we can find some utility from nokia, i think this will help us always.

Well i am attaching a class for sennding sms which i generally use, u can make a small app using that which will help u sending sms from one Nokia emulator to other, i have tested sending sms using this class....

import javax.microedition.io.Connector;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
import javax.wireless.messaging.*;

import client.com.onmobile.mInvestor.Constants;

public class SendSms{
String message2Send;
String toAddress;
private static final String SMSADDRESSPREFIX = "sms://";
public SendSms(MIDlet midlet,String msg,String toAddress) {
this.message2Send = msg;
this.toAddress = toAddress;
new SMSConnHandler().start();
}

private class SMSConnHandler extends Thread {
public void run() {
try{
if(!toAddress.startsWith(SMSADDRESSPREFIX))
toAddress = SMSADDRESSPREFIX+toAddress;

System.out.println("Sending SMS: to address: "+toAddress+" with text: "+message2Send);

MessageConnection conn = (MessageConnection)Connector.open(toAddress);
TextMessage message = (TextMessage)conn.newMessage(javax.wireless.messaging.MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE);
message.setAddress(toAddress);
message.setPayloadText(message2Send);
conn.send(message);
try{
if(null!=message)
message = null;
if(conn!=null)
conn.close();
}catch (Exception e) { }
}
catch(Exception e){ }
}
}
}
