Capturing key events using J2ME

[Taurianz]

Hi all,

I want to create an application which performs an operation on press and hold of a key in the key pad. Can this be done using J2ME by either keeping the application in the background or by invoking the application after pressing the key?

Not possible with Java ME. Unfortunately.

If you are using S60 phones, you should look into Symbian C++. On Series 40 phone you are out of luck.

Thanks Hartti.

I have read somewhere that while using a Canvas in J2ME, we would be able to listen to keys by accessing the key codes... is it possible to do in that way?

Hi,

You can perform any operation by using the keycode in same application.But you can't use this keycode outside the application.
