J2me Compatibilty

[EkanshTheDeveloper]

Hi All,

I am new to this forum.
Actually i wanted to know that applications made in J2ME will work on symbian, windows, blackberry, iphone mobiles or not?

Or on which of the above it will work.

Thanks
Ekansh

Nope,
they will work on Java devices depending on the used API's, they might work on BlackBerry's, they will work on S60 Symbian devices, they might work on older WM devices depending on the loaded JVM and if you want to distribute them through their marketplace (they only allow .net or win32 native apps, so no J2ME), they won't work on iphones or on Android...
For any more in-depth questions or information I'd advise to check out every platform and their compatibilities through their manufacturers websites/forums...

Hi ,

Thanks for the information.

Android also uses Java.
Is seems that it should work on android.

Android does not use J2ME libraries/API's, it also does not use jad/jar files, so no your J2ME application won't work on Android out of the box...
